You can also heat up your plate and then models will come out easier and not damaged at all. For example pour hot water on top side of the plate. You have make sure it's back to normal temperature before you start new print.

The single sided 45° tipped tools work best compared to the flat/90, I rotate the tool once underneath to peel the part equally around. it's more rare than the dual angle ones, but worth the extra cost

I do have a question if you are still monitoring this by chance. How effective is the ipa wet paper towel at cleaning up resin? For example let’s say some resin is on the handle of a tool. Would wiping that handle down get enough of it to be considered safe to touch or would you recommend a more thorough cleaning?

@SlicePrintRoleplay Жыл бұрын

@@minmaxwell6583 I'm so glad to hear that this video helped you! So I should state by saying I'm not a doctor or a chemist so any input I give is purely from my own experience. I try my absolute best to avoid contaminating surfaces I might touch with my bare hands. So handles of tools, work surfaces, etc... However, when resin has ended up on my tools I've been able to clean (seemly) all traces of it away with IPA on a paper towel. So far I've not had any issues with irritation on my skin... I hope that answers your question.

@MrCOLBSTAH 7 ай бұрын

Holy shit! Thank you so much because every time I do it oftentimes models will go flying across the room because I was just putting so much pressure into it to get it off or I have to literally wiggle the models off of the supports and leave the supports on there until I can take them off later but it just took so long to get everything off the build plate. That and then I heard that hot water helps. But then I run the risk of getting the models wet and if it's not the water washable resin then it's sometimes might mess with it

Soak the prints in warm water on the plate for like 5 minutes. Just hot water from the sink, and the prints will fall off the plate and be super easy to remove supports.

@SlicePrintRoleplay 2 жыл бұрын

That's definitely not a bad option. For me though that requires a little too much prep and cleanup. However, for models with really thin parts or small supports then that would definitely make it worth it! Just be sure to dispose of the water properly.

I got a tool that is a very smoothly ground thinner, narrower version of a scraper that I got off of amazon that does and excellent job of popping things off of the build plate with as much control as possible. It is much better than your generic paint scraper. Edit: If i'm making another print right away I also wipe the rubber spatula off on the top of the build plate as it's going straight back into the stirred resin, any that drips off get right back into the vat that way as well.

Hi, I use pliars. They actually do the same the corner of the scraper does but you can control the force you apply and losen the model rather than poping it of the build plate. The model does not take flight that easy when I do it and I can losen even aggressive cases of adhesion.

@SlicePrintRoleplay 2 жыл бұрын

Interesting. I'll be honest that sounds like it would definitely damage your models... But I'll gladly admit that I could very well be wrong... I'd love to see a video of your process if you're willing to post one in the Slice Print Roleplay Facebook group.

@buzzm.8797 2 жыл бұрын

@@SlicePrintRoleplay It works best with pliars for electronics that form a plane on one side when closed. Open the pliars and put them with the flat side on to the build plate with both tips touching the raft or platform of the print. Now gently close the pliars until you feel that the tips are between raft/platform and built plate. You can press further to gain more area or start to tilt the pliars gently. It takes a bit of practice but I have a lot of control over the model when I remove it from the built plate. Sorry I have no facebook, I can't post a video into the group.

I use a plastic scraper or an old plastic card sanded down on one edge, i would never use a metal scraper on my bed, it scratches up the surface (which is usually sanded/textured to maximuse adhesion with your print) and if you did put a gouge or miss a metal flake you can cut your FEP film with will ruin your entire printer (resin leak)
