<p>I printed a model and now I can't remove it.</p>

<p>I have been chiselling away with a putty knife and made little or no progress.  I even heated the bed up to 70&nbsp;&deg;C.  That really didn't seem to help.</p>

<p>Last time, I put it in vice, and tried to free it that way, but instead I broke the glass.</p>

<p>Suggestion?</p>

Our library makerspace has a small bottle of 50-50 water/denatured alcohol, although isopropyl alcohol should also work if your glass is not coated with a special film such as PEI. Heat up the surface of the glass to your usual temperature (50-60°C) and apply a few drops of the mixture to the edge of the print.</p>\n\n<p>It will evaporate pretty quickly, but some of it will work under the glass/model interface. Apply a bit more while the glass is still warm. Continue to apply until the the evaporation is no longer accelerated.</p>\n\n<p>Considering the difficulty you are experiencing, it may be necessary to repeat the heating sequence multiple times in order to get enough wicking of the liquid to effect a release.</p>\n"}, {'answer_id': 11735, 'author': 'linuxdan', 'author_id': 10422, 'author_profile': 'https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/users/10422', 'pm_score': 1, 'selected': False, 'text': "<p>I don't have a glass bed, but I've had a lot of luck with using dental floss to get stuck prints loose. </p>\n\n<p>If you can get the floss under the edge of the print, then you just pull it through to the other side. </p>\n\n<p>This technique takes some practice but works really well once you get the hang of it.  </p>\n"}]
