Quite often some bottom parts of my piece remain glued to the plate.
I have already cleaned the plate as requested by the official guides and that keeps happening again.
Any idea?
Welcome to the forum.
PETG can be sticky, and in combination with PEI, some issues are reported, but not always, as it depends on the filament and the print shape.
Some simple solutions:
- use glue as a release agent - it works well but has the downside of affecting the look of the surface;
- In case of thinner prints (usually more complicated to remove correctly), or if the glue effect on the print surface isn’t acceptable, put the plate and print in the freezer (overnight or for some hours), and then try to release it;
Warning: be sure the bed leveling procedure is done correctly, and the PEI plate indicated, as the settings are different and relevant;

Hi @JayZay and thank you for your response.
If that is a filament related issue I’ll change to PLA Basic.
I will also try the freezer and the glue.
Thank you
Having just spent an hour with a magnifying glass headware and a steel surgical knife very carefully lifting a thousand little remnants of a translucent PETG first layer, I am pretty much permanently cured of ever using Bambu PETG again! I tried all the the other options - freezing it - nope, heat gun - nope 4 letter words - nope, eventually as I needed to do a print had to do the minute careful work making sure not to scratch the plate, The advice to use glue initially confuses me - does this result in an easier release after cooling down? I thought glue made the adhesion stronger which is definitely not an issue I had!
The glue acts as a layer that does not let it adhear to the bed itsself but the glue so when it cools it releases easier. I had the same problem and after using glue read on another forum never had an issue again. I would not give up on PETG I love it the HF is the best if you ask me. As well to get that left over parts on the bed print a small part over the just add a small primitive part and it should lifet it off when you take the new print off
I am sorry to bother you on the following but as I am new, cannot post to community! I am looking for the brackets that go on a Din Rail (known as a C45 too) and then the Ikea Skadis pegboard is screwed onto this. I did find it previously but then Windows pulled a reboot stunt on me and all my history gone West!
Have spent over an hour scouring all websites to no avail - maybe you have a magic search finger??? LOL
