Topic: Easiest way to remove object from glass bed?

since it's my 1st 3D printer, not sure the easiest/best way to remove objects from the glass bed.

most of the items are im possible to remove even after letting it cool down. to do come loose but after a lot of hard work.

i use the glue stick in case you are wondering.

any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Wait for it to cool and then use a razor blade.  Most of mine pop right off after cooling but some of the stuff with a large bottom surface area come off either by twisting, or with a razor blade on the edges.

If it is a very big print, and very stuck, yout can either put ice packs around the print, and wait 10 minutes, or you can remove the heated bed & print, and put it in the freezer. (I havent tried this with the Da Vinci, but it works on my previous printer, printing ABS to glass)

if it isn't broken, you haven't modded it enough

Yeah on larger stuff the table is still not cooled off enough when it drops.  If you throw a fan on it you can actually hear the ABS pop as it releases.
