3d printing is a world of superstition and old wives' tales. Tricks I read/was recommended for getting stuck-on prints off the build plate: 1. Wait for it to cool so differential contraction breaks the bond 2. Take it off hot (while it's still soft at the bottom?) 3. Ice it...https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1297280695350341633 …
18. Lower the plate a bit 19. Use a raft (thin, coarse base layer added to design) 20. No need for a raft... My additions to the lore: 21. Drill a hole from the side to shove a rod in to lever off (didn't work for me due to low-density draft print, but might work for others)

22. Use boxcutter blade to shove under model and prise it up just enough to shove in a thicker wedge like a screwdriver or thin spatula. This is what finally did it. I must have tried half these methods along the way (couldn't freeze the plate since the wires are soldered on)
