Topic: Cleaning the bed

I finally took the plunge & bought the daVinci printer .
So far, I have used the stock software & filament to print a few small objects I designed on tinkercad.
So far so good.
What is the bestway to clean the glass bed?
no problems so far with warping etc

Thanks

Re: Cleaning the bed

... Wait for the glass to cool, use a wet paper towel. The xyz website shows a video of it. Works great.

Re: Cleaning the bed

I have found that a razor scraper (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Stanley-1-1- … /202262010) makes it even easier and faster to get the bed clean. I moisten the bed with a wet paper towel... just lay it on top for a few seconds ... don't have to swish it around or rub or anything... then I use the scraper to scrape off the glue, using the paper towel i just took off the bed to wipe the razor clean between passes. A new sharp blade (which will last basically forever) shaves closer than a Trac IV razor. smile
