Plastic Scraper

The scraper that came with my Elegoo Mars is sensitive to alcohol and I'm worried it might contaminate my resin. So, I designed this one specifically to be used with SLA resin, which isn't affected by cleaning alcohol. If you don't empty and filter the resin after each print, it's recommended to expose the FEP to the scraper to check for scrapes. However, exposing the FEP to air can lead to problems. To avoid this issue, I always make sure to remove any stray bits stuck to the FEP. Here's my rant: Don't even think about printing this design on supports! If you're having trouble getting it to print flat on your bed, then there's something seriously wrong with your printer setup. Stop listening to people who tell you to print at 15 or 30 degrees, or that suction is the problem - it's not. If your prints are sticking too much to the bed, it's because your printer needs tuning. I'm using a bog-standard Elegoo Mars, no mods whatsoever. I've cleaned and adjusted the lead screw and nut, as well as the bearings, but that's about it.
