Projects sticking to my Build plate

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

I recently got a 3-D Printer...  a replicator 2.. I was beside myself with glee.  I am a Mechanical Engineer and this was the End-All, Be-All to have as an engineer.  Or so I thought.. then i started using my printer..  and my projects would get stuck to the build plate..  I tried the making certain my Build plate was level.. that helped a tiny bit.. I called Makerbot.. they saiud that was what the blue tape was for..  I saw that in my kit.. no documentation to tell me why iot was there... anyway.. I tried it..  as I tried to remove the item.. it would tear onlong the edges of whateve i built and then my project was not only stuck.. but glued to the build plate..   so I that for a bit.. I came up with something that seems to work very well..   please watch the video.. and tell me what you think of it..  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zg1w6dXKHGU    Thank You for your time..  I am all ears to any suggestions you may halve that can help..

    Hey Anthony

    Interesting product.  The only thing I see you running into is that there are other alternatives that are cheaper.  For example spraying the build plate with hairspray or an acetone/abs mixture.  You are going to have really work on making sure people understand why yours is better than the alternatives.  Just a thought to help you out.
