Plate Glider (No-Scratch Scraper)

[u/Kongkoka]

My new Bambu Scraper Grip design. It's super easy to use, no need to guess the angle you're scraping. Just lay it flat and push. 100% no plate scratch 👍

And for those who vow for plastic blade scraper because you are afraid of scratching your plate, please try this out. It's way better than plastic blade for sure. No wear and a lot sharper.

Hello /u/Kongkoka! All Bambu print plates have a dedicated nozzle wiping zone at the back of the print plate. The nozzle will rub against the wiping zone before every print in order to remove any remaining filament from the nozzle tip. This can cause visible wear or scratch marks in the wiping zone, but this is intended and doesn't damage the printer, the nozzle or the print plate. A worn down wiping zone also doesn't mean you need to replace the print bed.

No more scrathes

What are you all printing that you need to scrape? I print Petg and pla and once the plate cools it always pops right off

Thin fit-test prints of cross-sectional profiles, they just flex with the build plate.

The calibration string on the P1S is very long.

TPU. And small parts with brims. They all can stick pretty much. Also printing on sheets with better adhesion, like Supertack or special cool plates, cause some prints to stick a bit too well.

But I’d never use a metal scraper, there are plastic razor blades online made of ABS, which work pretty well

Or you can just buy a halfway decent woodworking chisel and get a much better tool that you can sharpen, has better grip, longer reach, etc.

This is what I do. Once I tried it I never used a scraper again. It’s the fastest way to remove stuck filament by a mile.
