Instructions

  1. Print the model using the above settings as a guideline.
  2. Once the print completes, carefully remove the model from the build plate using the putty knife. Removal is easier if the bed is warm. Go beneath the tape under the brim and edge of the model. Use caution and go slow, putty knives are sharp! Do not remove the tape from the print.
  3. Wet the rag and place it on a surface that will not be water damaged. Place the finished print on top of the rag, tape side down. Let sit 2 hours.
  4. Carefully peel off the damp tape.
  5. Remove brim, avoiding use of flush cutters as a first resort. Work the brim from sharper corners, attempting to score the brim at the base of the print. When using flush cutters to clean up remaining brim, try to grab, lift and pull the brim away from the model rather than snipping with the cutters. This will result in smoother edges. Remember that ideally you want the brim to separate from the print at their seam.
