Premium 3D Print Removal Tool Kit - Durable 3D Printer Tools with Sturdy Comfort Grips, Sharp and Hardened Blades for Easy Separation of Prints, Knife and Spatula Set of 2 - Enhanced Version

Recently got a resin 3D printer and used the tool that came with it to remove prints. It worked OK some of the time, but it ended up being a pain to use and I ended up scratching the bed on some of the more difficult prints. Looked around and got these to try. Excellent move on my part! These work incredibly well. They slide easily under the base layer and I can either pop the print off, or just slide the tool around a bit and the print falls off. This is definitely a tool to have. The tool that came with the printer is much thicker and wider, a putty knife in essence. These are thinner and easier to use. Since I have started using these, I have added no new scratches to my bed.If you have a resin printer, you should take a good look at these. I do not think you will be disappointed.

The media could not be loaded. Conclusion up front: This 3d print removal kit is nothing like the ones that come with printers, or that you buy at the local tool store. I purchased this based on a post somewhere in desperation and it will changed our entire resin printing workflow (seriously, a properly designed tool can make all the difference.)I rarely video review things, in this case I am in hopes other people get the chance to experience what I did. Your supports slide off like someone coated the build plate in butter. Well worth the price to try it for yourself (see the video for technique/examples). The liquid creates a vacuum seal (which is why it's so hard to remove them), this disrupts that in an ingenious way, making it so much easier to get stubborn things off.You can tell this was designed by someone who has the same frustrations the rest of us did (You end up beating your build plate into a state of gouges and scratches trying to remove supports). The clever rounded bevel design combined with a strong metal alloy choice give you an experience one of those knock off's from China simply can't provide.Instructions:When removing supports that touch the build plate do as follows:1. Take the longer rounded scraper and ensure the bevel (it looks like a slant) is facing up.2. Gently slide it under the support, allowing it to break the liquid suction that is holding it down.3. Once you get under it you can just slide the entire thing off in one steady motion.My build plate has some serious battle scars, it got to the point I despised resin printing (it took so long to remove the supports, they would break and require so much work to clean out). This tool set has changed the entire workflow at our small company. We are losing less items to accidental damage, turning around prints faster for production, etc.I did have an occasion to ask a few after sales support questions, the vendor was amazing, you can tell he is passionate about this business and that he himself is a maker. The person who invented this has sat in our shoes, struggled our struggles. That's why I believe rather than buying cheap imitations (that simply don't work, you can't copy this design without both the precision manufacturing and the proper materials.) Knock-offs break way too quickly (then leave scrapes all over your prints/bed.)

Adhesion is a really important part of 3D printing and you need to have good adhesion so that your print remains stable and in place while more material is being added through the printing process. This results in a much neater, more accurate, and higher quality print. The price you pay for this, however, is that sometimes it feels impossible to remove new prints. Technically, you're supposed to wait for the bed and the print to cool down so that the material has had a chance to contract, allowing you to easily remove the print from the build plate. Trying to remove a print too forcibly and exerting too much force on the object while it is still on the glass plate can damage the build plate clamps/assembly. The key to good 3D prints is all about getting the calibration right and fighting with stuck prints will quickly mess up your setup and require you to readjust and recalibrate far more often.I am always way too impatient to wait for everything to cool down before removing the print. I always want to get the cleanup over with so I can start the next one. That's where this tool shines. With this, I can easily remove a fresh print while leaving minimal residue on the bed, allowing for a faster cleanup and turnaround on my prints. This won't matter for most casual users and while I'm a casual user myself, I like to keep my 3D printer off if I'm not using it for safety reasons. Because of that, if I have more than 1 print to run when turning on my printer, I'd prefer to get through them more quickly and minimize the downtime between prints when the unit is just sitting there powered but on standby.This tool has helped me successfully remove hundreds of prints from the glass bed of my 3D printer over and over again. The edge is sharp, making it easy to wedge under the print and apply leverage to the blade and pry it off. The blade feels sturdy and holds it straightness, no matter how much force I have to apply to get a print off. I use the longer one about 95% of the time. Its length allows me to get it as flat as possible against the bed as I try to wedge it, which allows me to use much more force without having to worry that I'll scratch up the bed. I have an Artillery Sidewinder X1 and these tools are a permanent fixture in my printer side tools. A little pricier than I expected but since they serve such a specific purpose and do it so well, I think they are worth the money.If you like to remove your prints immediately or own a print farm where the turnaround time matters, this tool will be indispensable to your operations.

These tools are very sturdy and well made. Comparing them to the standard 2" spatula that is provided with most 3d printers, these are way better! First off, they are way thinner. I used my micrometer and these tools are half the thickness of the standard 2" spatula. The edges of these are even half the thickness of the standard 2" spatula. With the spatula that was included with my 3d printer, I needed to use way more force to get it under the prints than with these. The tapered edge on the both of them are thin enough that they easily go under the prints with very little force. The long knife works great to push completely under the print and rotate around the edges to help with releasing. I use glue on my bed and these tools make the removal of larger prints 10x easier. I haven't printed out their stl file for the holder yet, but that's next on my list.
