Rusted Bed?

[nathan-peterson 0]

I've only had my Ultimaker 2 for a couple of weeks now. At some point a brown spot appeared in the middle of my printer bed. I think it's rust, but I am not certain. I may have gotten some water on there or something. Has anyone had this problem? What is the best way to clean this?

Also, I have a picture of the problem, but how do I post pictures to the forum?

Thanks for the photo tutorial. Looks like I need to be verified first before I can upload photos.

You should be good to go for image uploads as far as I can see. Usually what stops people is that they haven't validated their e-mail account, but it looks like you've done that.

Cool! Here is the photo:

It's not rust. That's an aluminium plate. Could be oil?

Hmm... Not sure how oil could have gotten on there. I was using a sponge to clean the extruder though, so there was some water that dripped onto the glass and possibly could have run underneath onto the plate.

Could be oil from production. The guide bars are oiled...
