Hot Bed (build surface) Cleaner STL

thingiverse

This is a 200mm x 200mm (0.4 height) STL to purge the print Bed - build surface - on my Ender 3, this allows me to remove all the PLA fragment left over the Heat Bed over the time and leave it totally clean. I have used this on my magnetic print platform but i guess would and shall work on any other like glass, etc. Update JULY 2022: I have added a circular STL which is 200mm and 0.4 height and also a 100mm Circle also .4 height. Also two Squares of 100mmx100mm and 50mmx50mm as well. These are intended if you wish to purge only specific parts of the whole build surface. Dont forget to increase your usual printing temperature (if possible) around 10-20 degrees up so the material can melt even better and results are improved. Remember that material left on the print bed is caused by: - nozzle is to close to the build plate, not enough clearance. This is caused by improper or missing and necessary bed leveling. - The material you are using (PLA, ABS, PETG, Etc.) is not very good and sticks too much to the print bed bacause of a defect on it. - Your build surface is new and/or with a very powerful adhesion so using the spatula or any other tool may harm, scratch or damage the build surface. Just print the STL and then remove it from the build plate and all the stuff will go with it!.... Hope this is usefull instead of scratching and struggling to get everything off that might damage your build surface. Thanks
