Even this extremely simple part (2 circles, 2 extrusions) was a nightmare to figure out. Felt like a caveman.

Had 3 semesters of drawing as an undergrad (93-94)... 2 on paper drafting, 1 on Autocad 2d. Taught myself basic solid modeling on ProE my sophomore summer at my dad’s office (he ran the design department for a division of tata steel). Clearly I’ve forgotten most of it.

I give up. I’ve tried icing it, a spatula, swabbing isopropyl alcohol around edge, hammering gently from the side...

At this point I’m considering drilling a small hole so I can insert a rod and try to pride the damn thing off. It’s either that or give up on this build plate and get a new one.

If it’s cold, heat it up to like 80 degrees C and pry it off

In the future, try to level the print bed so that it’s slightly lower. It seems like the bed is just slightly too close to the nozzle. It will be a frustrating process, but worth doing imo

Hmm... how does that help? I followed the instructions to get it about 1 sheet of paper width. Does a larger gap weaken adhesion somehow? (which is what I want)

Yeah. The gap needs to be a bit larger but the difference has to be small enough that you won’t be able to visually tell

You can probably google <your printer model> bed level test to find an stl to print off to test that the bed is level and that you have the right amount of adhesion.
