My cat was stuck hard to the build plate and when I applied more force it came off but left this thin bottom layer. How do I get it off?

It’s a little plastic one that doesn’t seem to work. This is on really tight. I bought tape but decided to try this on the plate directly 😖

Palette knife. Magnetic beds allow you to lift off the magnetic portion for easier removal.

It’s called a raft. It’s intended to help with bed adhesion, which is much less of an issue with a heated print bed. There‘s a way to turn it off in the print settings. I would only go to the trouble of using one if I saw that a print was warping.

unless you have a heated build plate, we would normally apply a layer of blue painters tape to the plate. it will print on top of that and then you peel the tape off and the raft/excess comes off. or buy a heated build plate.

One thing I always use if heated bed is not available is elmer's washable glue sticks, in a thin but complete layer, and allowed to completely dry (can use hair dryer to speed up). Works wonders!
