<p>I am using a Flash Forge Creator, and when I print big parts (only in this case) I have about 25% of the bottom of the printed object sticking very hard to its support layer. And I spend a lot of time removing it with a cutter.</p>

<p>Is there any clue or good practice to avoid that?</p>

<p>I use ReplicatorG for my printing settings.</p>
