After

 

the

 

print

 

finishes

 

you

 

can

 

immediately

 

pop

 

it

 

off

 

(unless

 

it’s

 

very

 

small

 

in

 

which

 

case

 

you

 

may

 

want

 

to

 

let

 

it

 

cool

 

for

 

a

 

few

 

minutes).

 

If

 

the

 

first

 

layer

 

printed

 

correctly

 

you

 

should

 

see

 

no

 

curling

 

and

 

the

 

print

 

should

 

be

 

easy

 

to

 

remove.

 

 

USING

 

EXTREME

 

CAUTION

  

take

 

the

 

supplied

 

scraper

 

and

 

gently

 

tap

 

at

 

the

 

edges

 

of

 

the

 

print.

  

We

 

have

 

found

 

this

 

tapping

 

action

 

is

 

much

 

safer

 

and

 

much

 

easier

 

to

 

remove

 

a

 

model

 

rather

 

than

 

pure

 

brute

 

force

 

and

 

it

 

is

 

also

 

better

 

for

 

the

 

print

 

bed.

 

Look

 

for

 

corners

 

of

 

the

 

model

 

and

 

tap

 

them

 

with

 

the

 

scraper

 

flat

 

on

 

the

 

bed.

 

After

 

several

 

taps

 

the

 

print

 

should

 

pop

 

off

 

the

 

bed.

 

If

 

the

 

print

 

has

 

a

 

large

 

surface

 

area

 

on

 

the

 

print

 

bed

 

it

 

may

 

be

 

harder

 

to

 

remove

 

and

 

you

 

may

 

have

 

to

 

slide

 

the

 

scraper

 

below

 

the

 

model.

 

 

Remember

 

the

 

scraper

 

is

 

very

 

sharp

 

and

 

NEVER

 

place

 

your

 

hand

 

behind

 

the

 

area

 

you

 

are

 

scraping.

 

Taking

 

a

 

few

 

extra

 

seconds

 

to

 

remove

 

the

 

model

 

is

 

much

 

better

 

than

 

a

 

trip

 

to

 

the

 

hospital.

 

 

Once

 

the

 

print

 

is

 

removed,

 

inspect

 

it

 

to

 

see

 

how

 

it

 

printed

 

using

 

the

 

current

 

settings.

 

You

 

can

 

record

 

what

 

happened

 

with

 

each

 

print

 

and

 

over

 

time

 

it

 

will

 

become

 

intuitive.

 

If

 

the

 

print

 

has

 

any

 

stringing

 

or

 

globs

 

stuck

 

to

 

the

 

side

 

you

 

can

 

carefully

 

use

 

a

 

blade

 

to

 

remove

 

the

 

plastic

 

or

 

in

 

some

 

cases

 

it

 

just

 

flakes

 

off.

  

Note:

 

A

 

lighter

 

works

 

great

 

to

 

heat

 

the

 

plastic

 

to

 

fix

 

any

 

problem

 

areas

 

and

 

to

 

smooth

 

very

 

sharp

 

edges.

 

Use

 

caution

 

when

 

using

 

the

 

lighter

 

because

 

particulate

 

may

 

stain

 

the

 

model.

 

Remember

 

you

 

just

 

want

 

the

 

heat

 

from

 

the

 

flame

 

not

 

the

 

flame

 

itself

 

to

 

touch

 

the

 

model.
