Print removal impacting and encouragement bar by electromechtro

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

So this Prusa I3 MK2 print bed works really well. Sometimes too good. I primarily print PLA, but have done a couple small ABS Maker Bots just to see how it would print. I wipe the bed down with rubbing alcohol before printing. Nothing else.
The parts stick. Small surface area parts need a brim.
I have a spatula for part removal, but sometimes it just can't get under the part.
I read somewhere that tapping the part sideways will release it in most cases. I tried and it worked. I was using a metal wrench and broke some teeth off of a gear and decided metal was not the way to go, so i made this bar up in Fusion.
Nothing special. It is long to clear the bed with a little nub to help hold it and a bigger impacting area to hit. I have not broke it....yet.
Parts can/do go flying.https://youtu.be/L7wlGg_FsfU
