Hex key and mini clamp came in handy for battling a lifting edge

    This really summarises the passive aggressive level you get to with a 3D printer: “Lift off the bed now you little fucker!”

    You must have been really close to the end for that to work. I’ve tried many hacks but few really work for me in-situ for more that a dozen layers.

      There wasn’t much left and nothing that would collide with it. Seemed to work well enough

      I usually use glue stick but just ran out

        Have you tried hairspray? I definitely prefer it as it’s easy to put on and gives nice, even coverage.

        Usually? Like for routine pla prints? I’ve found myself having to do this (man I love magigoo) but the masses say I really shouldn’t have to. Kinda validating if this is actually a thing.

    I oddly usually have the other problem, my prints stick too good, the bottom of the print is white (though it is black PLA+) and it sometimes deforms my magnetic mat doohickey while trying to pry it free. Drives me crazy.

    Though skeptical about trying it at first, I’ve found that Aquanet hairspray works amazingly on those creality glass beds. Keeps PLA on, and prevents PETG from bonding.

    I had a huge problem with lifting edges. But since I bought Dimafix Spray all of my issues are gone. I also use brim with increased size to ger near perfect result. I print ABS.

      I usually use glue stick and never have issues but I just ran out.
      Brims are a good idea for the meantime though

      This is only PlA+ so it should be behaving with a heated bed alone

      I’ve only done 3 prints with abs but I used a g10 plate and it worked fabulously. I heard one of the damn prints pop off the plate with a snap when the bed dropped below 60c, that was wild to me.

    I also found a huge difference between filaments. Creality was terrible for me, Reflow is great

    Ever since it was suggested to rub glue stick over the print bed beforehand, I haven’t had a single issue with raising bits of my prints. Bought a huge school supply case of them like 4 years ago. I’ve used up 2 entire sticks.
