Comment on Adhered so hard it delaminated the glass.

  I keep a very sharp scalpel next to my printer. It’s super thin and a bit flexible, but still has a sturdy handle to hold on to. With it I can get in between the glass and the PETG no matter how stuck it is. Once I cut a little bit, usually the whole print lifts right away.

    I do this too, normally it works a treat.

  I know absolutely shit-all about this subject, but is there no kind of release agent y’all can use? Like with molds and such?

    Many printers come with a thin metal plate that attaches via magnets, which you can bend/flex to help the print detach. Easily my favorite way to get a print off the bed.

    I pour some alcohol around the base and then place them in the fridge or freezer. After half an hour they either release or are easier to release.

    The issue is finding space in the fridge or freezer for the larger prints
