WHAT IS THIS? This is your helping tool to take your printed parts off the build plate.Don't risk damaging the plate with metallic scrapers. This “scraper” uses a silk thread to separate the print from the plate.The silk is very tough but is also VERY gentle on your plate. HOW TO USE Simply insert the silk thread below a corner of the part and use the tool handles to pull apart it.You MUST apply the force in parallel form to the plate. Simple and cheap but very effective. NOTES I used silk fishing line thread to make my tool.You can use silk, dental floss or regular nylon fishing line. Use a thin one.I highly prefer the silk. The last image if from a print from my ancient Wanhao Duplicator 4 that's near 10 years old and keeps working.
