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.

Tried taking the plate off but it’s soldered to electricals... no way to just disconnect. Goddammit.pic.twitter.com/Uq7FgchWH7

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.

Dammit. Drilling a hole and trying to lever it off didn’t work. Simply ripped the top off. This is with super draft low-fill settingpic.twitter.com/pRmOM4AIEv

Okay. Got it off. I slipped a box cutter under one edge just enough to get spatula under it, and that was enough leverage to get it off. Done building directly on build plate. Gonna try either blue tape or kapton tape.pic.twitter.com/XBrz5UiqU4

Replying to @vgr
You might try laying the first layer down at a reduced temperature...there is gcode that can do this...alternatively contact-paper as a bed-coating worked for me...basically 'large tape'. Spray with hairspray...then peel off.
