How to remove effect sheet from smooth plate?

Hey there!
I recently bought from bambu a smooth plate with a set of effect sheets, i am now trying to peel off the effect sheet that came pre-installed in the plate and it’s impossible to do it.

I tried to use the scraper tool like the FAQ suggests but it is also removing the paint from the plate.

My last attempt was to print a 2mm height cube covering 100% surface, so some of the glue came out with the print, but i think the base of the sheet is still glued to the plate :confused:

Any ideas on how to fix this?

I would try with some acetone in a corner.

Typical resommendations are to pop the plate in the freezer before trying to peel it off and to use Limonene as a solvent.

In my case, I forgot the former but did use the latter. Still took just over an hour per side with plenty of paint lost… Working fine now though :smiley:

Edit: And keep some band aid pre-cut and in easy reach. :crossed_fingers:

use a solvent like acetone or glue removing agent
