Re: Removing print from plate!

I'd tried suspending the plate over a batch of ice, but I hadn't actually put it in the freezer.... I may need to eat some ice cream to make room. Had a batch of short, flat objects get a little bit stuck today, but the razor blade did the trick on that one. I feel a lot better about that than the ...

Re: Removing print from plate!

Well, I wound up using a variation on the Desk-edge trick from polygonhell. It worked, but destroyed the print. I'll try David F's (second) suggestion and Outsiders next time.

Thanks, all!

Removing print from plate!

I've printed a set of boxes on my Rostock Max v2, and I can't get them off the plate! I used the enclosed purple elmer's glue stick that came with the printer - it was well dried. The boxes are about 4" x 4". I have tried heating the plates, cooling to room temperature, putting ice in the boxes ...

Re: temperature setting for prints in MatterControl?

Ok. I can print and then immediately set the temperature on the machine to 215, which does the job. But then what is the point of all the filament profiles????? I've looked in the gcode that I've exported - there is no E1 S210 in the file, but I do see an M104 S210 and M109 S210. (According to a ...

Re: temperature setting for prints in MatterControl?

I have been saving and selecting it, but I'll give your other tips a try. I'd like to find something more systematic than editing every file I print by hand... I'm a teacher, and that can be hard to communicate to students.

temperature setting for prints in MatterControl?

On my Rostock Max v2, I am getting some jams just below the extruder drive screw, and I think it is because the extruder temperature is dropping during the prints - the jam keeps happening at about z=1 inch on the prints. so I mention this as the thing that led to the problem I am asking about... I ...
