PETG very hard to remove from bed

Bambu Filament and Accesories
1

Hallo zusammen,

ich nutze gerne PETG als Filament.
Leider habe ich immer das Problem, dass das Filament der Kalibrierungslinien extrem auf dem Bett haftet und ich es nur mit aller größter Mühe vom Bett lösen kann. Minimale Hilfe ist, wenn ich das Bett auf 70 Grad erhitze, trotzdem lässt es sich nur sehr schwer mit dem Scraper von Bambu Lab lösen.

Hat irgendjemand einen guten Tipp, wie ich PETG einfach vom Bett lösen kann?

P.S. Ich nutze den Plastik-Scraper von Bambu Lab und drucke auf dem texturierten PEI.

This is normal for PETG. Use the gluestick or other glue like 3dlack as release agent.

This or a similar liquid glue work well as an adhesive and also a release agent when the build plate has cooled after printing.

A small bottle will last for many, many spools.

Which build plate are you using? Depending on the plate, glue stick can be required as a release agent as others have already suggested.

I have printed PETG on multiple plate materials and Garolite (G10) is by FAR my favorite. I am using the Lightyear G10 plates currently, but others that have tried ordering in the recent past have complained of extremely slow shipping times (months) and non-responsive customer support to requests for updates or cancellations. My experiences have been great with the company so your mileage may vary. PETG just slides right off G10 when fully cooled down like magic.

I have also printed PETG on the Wham Bam PEX plate and it works great so long as you lower your temps a little bit as they detail in their instructions (or else it sticks too well). The Bambu textured PEI plate (original black version) has also worked just fine for me with no release agent required.
