PLA prints stick to BuildTek too much - What to do?

Post by reibuehl »

Hi all,

I have applied a new BuildTek surface on my Fabrikator Mini and now have the unusual problem that my PLA prints stick way to good to it. Is there a way to make PLA stick less strong to it?

Best regards,
Reiner

I had a BuildTak surface and all that was required was to raise the nozzle just a tiny bit.
If it was too close it was difficult to remove the models extending the clearance allowed models removal easier.
