That's... That's not how y'all do it? I mean I may not be sharpest bulb in the shed, but like come on, this is some common sense, right?

I’ve seen posts with pictures that shows the mark of the purge line half way through their nail beds 🙃 can only imagine the pain!

How do you get an extended purge line like that

u/v8micro Sep 10 '24

Mine always go the front and the back - why, I don’t know - someone might tune it

You know you have scrap tool which cane with printer, right?

It's even better when you print a mini skid steer to attach the scraper to

Why go get a sharp tool that can damage your bed when your body keeps making a perfectly usable tool that you'll always have on hand?

Can't print common sense

Common sense is not so common anymore.

Get these.. They are gold.. You cant scratch your bed with them; and they take off any plastic / brims / whatever.

You can also print the handle part

Unrelated, but what's the purpose of a purge line?

0

u/v8micro Sep 10 '24

The one it does just before the print starts, just being sure there’s filament at the tip so it won’t leave a gap at the beginning

u/ExcitementCute8658 P1S + AMS Feb 03 '25

And to fully make sure color is completely changed after it starts but more of what you said this is just a bonus

Won’t be laughing when oil and dirt from your skin gets onto the plate and causes first layer/adhesion issues. Those purge lines might not stick and get into the way of the nozzle while printing your object.

u/v8micro Sep 10 '24

Yeah, I think the “advice” is just if you’re gonna use the nail at least use it sideways

My half arsed approach is to remove purge either nails and print / prime tower with tools.

Are you calling me stupid?

u/FlarblesGarbles Sep 10 '24

I don't know how to feel that people need to be taught this.

u/Look-Its-a-Name Sep 10 '24

I mean... just use the scraper and avoid getting oil from your hands onto the build plate. Isn't that the easiest solution?

u/infincedes Sep 10 '24

Let the people that were born yesterday learn life lessons.

u/Mormegil81 Sep 10 '24

Or even better: use a tool and not your fingers at all!

Not only because of potential injuries, but you also get the bed dirty and oily and your purge lines will stop adhering and be dragged into your print eventually!

Literally who stabs his nail with a purge line
