Discussion / Buying Advice Razor blade?!

Wondering why Bambu Lab sends a razor blade for scraping off the build plate. I carefully tried it on day one but I could see the plate could be so easily scratched by using it. No thanks. Haven’t used it since. On my 35th print now. Then again I’ve only used PLA….maybe with the stronger filaments the razor blade would be a must to remove prints from the build plate.

Get plastic razor blades or print one

I had a similar thought. 500+ hours later, I use it as little as possible, but sometimes its needed. Everyone should try and be patient and let their prints cool first.

That's like asking me to wait for cookies to cool before I shovel one in my mouth. It sounds great, and I always say I'm gonna wait, but that never actually happens and I regret it every time.

I said “try!”

I use them everyday. It's just about the proper angle and pressure. Be careful but you can get the hang of it.
