Hi everyone. How you guys clean the bed of your printer. Mine looks like this and a have printed very few.
It’s hard to remove the objects as well

So I have a Prusa printer and each time after I have printed I use 91% alcohol on the bed. That is what is recommended. If the bed starts to get where things are not sticking, I then will wash it with only the Blue Dawn. That helps a lot as well.

I use a glue stick on my glass bed, so my bed looks like that all the time. If the glue starts to flake, I clean the bed with water and mild hand soap. I wipe with alcohol and then reapply the glue. My cutters won’t stick to the bed unless I use glue.

If you are scraping up the glass you might be printing too low - or perhaps you are using a metal scraper on it. If this is just plastic you can use isopropyl alcohol or acetone.

I was using a metal scraper :pensive: I ended up buying a flexible and magnetic. So much easier. Thank you for answering
