Hello all, I'm a student from the Netherlands and have been using the 3D Ultimaker for quite some time now, making nice looking little toy figurines with my schools ultimaker. Check out the cool little toy factory it printed: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8164925/ultimaker%20fotos/IMAG0515.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8164925/ultimaker%20fotos/IMAG0516.jpg For my school project I need to make a lot more of these but every time I encouter a very time consuming and difficult chore. The material which comes out of the 3D printer "sticks" on the taped surface of the plateau.. making it very difficult to remove the figurines.. I've tried everything from taping the surface with normale plastic tape, to special painter's tape but every time I got the same problem. In order to even remove it, i need to remove the entire tape like so: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8164925/ultimaker%20fotos/IMAG0568.jpg And sometimes this causes the 3D models to break, unfortunatelly: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8164925/ultimaker%20fotos/IMAG0517.jpg So what I'm asking is if anyone has any advice for me on what to do with the surface? I always need to use circular shapes in my 3D models,.. I dont have a choice in that.. Currently i'm using this kind of tape for the surface: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8164925/ultimaker%20fotos/IMAG0566.jpg Maybe use other tape?
