Wandering around our new Harbor Freight store I spied this great scraper set for $6.99 - looks like it will be great for getting prints off the bed! Even after I lose 3 of them!

I just use the 4" wide scraper, which is always a decent value at 1.99

I’ve been using a single sided razor blade (like these) held in a pair of tiny vice grip pliers - I like these better! Thanks for the tip.

I’ve cracked and broken a flat blade like that before. I prefer to use the trapezoid shaped blades. I think they’re a little thicker. But then I sometimes have to wedge it between the print and build plate and knock it in to wedge the print off the bed.

I’ve been using the retractable single-edge razor holder that you see at every hardware store. I’ve been feeling a bit guilty about not printing a holder instead, but I feel better knowing others are using purchased tools as well.

I use a putty knife(the thin and flexible kind), but most of the time I don’t even need one and can pop in off by hand.
