Re: Basic tool set

I would leave the scrapper and beating object out. Should not need it if your bed is calibrated and you are using the correct bed adhesion. It will also knock bed out of calibration. Hairspray on glass is the best. Sticks when hot. once cool the part will slide off literally. The whole concept most miss is the object and bed must cool. If you can't let it cool then you need more machines.
