Removing Models from build plate with a guitar pick
#1
I mostly print things flat on the build plate.  In the past, it has been difficult to remove them sometimes.  I used to use a plastic putty knife and a hammer.  It works, but the putty knives quickly get nicked up.  Recently I discovered that a guitar pick works really well.  I use a plastic, 0.5 mm thick triangular guitar pick.  So far, it has been fairly easy to work the tip under the model at some point.  Once you get it started, just pry around the edges until the model is free.  This has been very easy and a lot less risk of damage to the model.
