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 …

There are more systematic approaches to bed leveling.... but often people just get away with the paper under the nozzle thing(imo this gets you in the right ballpark, but needs more precision). I should write a guide on how to get those remaining settings dialed in

This method is similar to what Id do when I used to run the college of engineering print lab. Hope this helps!https://youtu.be/RZRY6kunAvs

I know a guy...
@DevonDJones what is the best way to get prints off of buildplates? Any videos on this?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

3D printing is in the “laser printer from the 60”s territory where it’s useful enough to be used wisely but is still built on a pile of process tricks. Not mature enough to be bundled for $30 including plastic filament from Epson

Lemme get this straight. A bunch of ENGINEERS didn't document their builds? I'm shocked just shocked

You assume that just because they advice appears to contradict each other, that they cant all work

3D printers aren't standardised enough that a small number of approaches work for everything. What I did to work around this is to buy build plates. Used one with my printrbot, and also with the Flashforge Dreamer at work, and it's so much easier to get prints off the base.

I bought them from BuildTak, others may have different recommendations

Yeah, it's fun, isn't it! Set of options drastically decreases if design, material, kind of bed, taken into account

Did it with OnShspe+Cura... haven’t used CAD software since 1996, which was ancient version of ProEngineer. Things have really advanced a lot. Browser+cloud-basedwith version control and all sorts of other crap.
