@Thomas_Sanladerer Maybe you could try this method instead of using gluestick to reduce “too good” adhesion…
Unfortunately that doesn’t work for thin parts or generally things you can’t get a grip on - or for flexibles and even some of the softer PETGs
Yeah , it won’t work on flexibles xD
you can try adding some drops isopropanol - wait and let capillarity help … Also a good helper are painting Knives with their dull thin blades - you can easily work under thin parts and loosen them.
What sort of printer are you using?
@Rene_Jurack That’s a beautiful printer! I was hoping it was something commercial as I’m in the market for another machine.
I have started just having the slicer put on a brim, and then just gently prying the part up with a small flat head screw driver. I then cut off the brim and do a quick pass with a dremel. I mostly print PET on a cold bed with blue tape now adays.
Is your bed PEI coated or does it have a thin sheet on it? Hard to tell. Love your DICE as always!
its coated 
I’ve found with my PEI (bought as a sheet, fixed to a glass bed) that the temperature at which I try to remove it is critical. Too hot and it’s still stuck fast, too cold (for example, if left overnight) and it’s just as stuck. I tend to try and get to it around 50C which seems to work most times.
The brim as suggested by @J_Nerf is a good idea as it allows you to be a little more… forceful in prying up the edge without damaging the print, although of course you then have to trim the brim. However, I’d never use a screwdriver as the lever - far too likely to damage the print or worse, the bed. I use a paint scraper with a razor blade edge that can slide flat under the edge.
@Jon_Gritton what I use is actually the flat head jewler size screw driver pull out on my Leatherman, mostly because I always have it on me. I’ve never had problem damaging anything, usually not even the tape. I’m sure your tool works too, but just saying I wouldn’t recommend something that wouldn’t reliably work for somebody else. However, if I was printing directly on the bed, I probably would use something plastic.
@J_Nerf "… mostly because I always have it on me… " Do you carry your printer around? My printer doesn’t move a great deal so the tools are all next to it :)))
@Jon_Gritton I just needed something and used it in a pinch and it worked well. My printer is in home office, so I try to avoid keeping a lot of clutter and tools around it.
@J_Nerf I hear that. I’ve really reached the point now where I can’t expand any further without a dedicated workshop. I’ve another printer arriving on Monday and that’ll be every square inch covered
When I got my first printer it was all neat and tidy. Now there’s tape, and solvents, and glues and scrapers and knives and … oh my!
@Jon_Gritton me, I get into printing for a while, and then go months without doing much. I kinda rotate hobbies, so I try to keep things simple. My workshop area is in my garage, and I don’t like keeping my printer out there because of the environment. If I printed a lot of nylon or ABS I probably would move it. Since I have gotten used to working with PET, I haven’t bothered putting in a hot bed or working with much else.
