Posted · Removing print/skirt from BuildTak PEI Sheet

I am having a heck of a time removing prints, and even worse, the skirt from my BuildTak PEI sheet.  I am mostly using ABS, I was initially using Magigoo but after my struggles tried without it, and adhesion definitely wasn't an issue as I still can't get the print/skirt off the build plate!  I end up using the print removal spatula which does okay for the print, just leaves a little ghosting, but doesn't really do the trick for the skirt.  It's on the bed so good I have ended up scratching the sheet.  After the top layer of the skirt gets off with the spatula I have been rubbing the PEI sheet with acetone on a cloth.  There has to be a better way.  Any thoughts would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
