>> Finishing Your Print

Once your 3D print has finished, it must be removed from the build plate. There are several methods to use, depending on how the print has adhered to the build plate.

First, remove the plate and print from the Printer

Be careful the plate may be hot depending on the plate type.

Wait For Cool Down

If you used the textured plate or the engineering please allow the build plate and the print to cool down. The material will contract as it cools and you can easily remove the print from the build plate.

Use A Spatula

If your print doesn’t remove from the build plate after cooling, you can use a spatula to remove the print. Place the spatula under the print and apply a small amount of force to remove the print.

Make sure to completely clean all filament off of the build plate before putting it back into the printer!
