Upgraded Metal 3D Printer Removal Spatula

Good quality stainless steel item. Adding a magnet holder would make it perfect.

This tool is great at removing the print from the build plate. I struggled with metal paint scrapers, even resorted to using a mallet in combination with a scraper for a while before I tried this. Now I can just use this to quickly and easily detach my prints. Its got the perfect geometry and some extra mass to it that makes popping prints of the plate MUCH easier than using a paint scraper. It fits well in the hand, and cleans up well. If you are having trouble removing a print from the build plate and aren't quite ready to try modifying your printer to use a flexible build plate, give this a try. It makes a huge difference.

I use a glass build plate and put blue tape on it, then put the purple school glue on the tape. I tell you that because I want NO warping. I make 3d parts using PET-G. With that method, I get Zero warping and my parts are exactly what I CAD. BUT they are very hard to get off the build plate. My conventional putty knife that I have used for years is almost in a U shape. This tool is a game changer. I wish it were a little sharper, but it is strong enough to remove the toughest prints. I was skeptical, but this tool is my go to product.

Excellent quality, hefty feel, sturdy construction. My reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is the blade is blunted and safe for children. If you are looking for a sharp edge to peel those stubborn layers off a build plate, look further as this is not that tool. It is excellent otherwise if you don't need or want a knife edge sharp scraper.

A must have scraper tool for 3D Printer, works great and does NOT scrap the plates

Love the plastic razor blades but some materials on some printers have such good first layer adhesion that they are useless almost immediately as they dull fairly quick, being plastic. Nothing wrong with them at all, just not always the best tool for the job. This is a slightly more economical option that is infinitely more reusable. You have to be careful as it can mark your build plate, but sometimes the alternative is having plastic fused to your build plate which might be worse. The shape of the tool is fairly ergonomic and the inclusion of a decent quality rubber grip is welcome as well. The bevel of the point is perfect for stubborn 3D printed parts and most of them just require a light tap from the tool after having cooled down completely.

We use this tool to prevent scratching our print plate on our Prusa 3-D printer; it’s definitely corrected my previous technique where I’ve scraped up build plates

This tool is too thick on the blade end for my liking. The edge is not razor thin, so it has a difficult time getting under 3d printed items. Good idea, but needs to be filed down to a razor edge.

The product is good quality and not too sharp to cut yourself. Comfortable grip could be a little thicker, but still very good. Recommend

I was worried people saying it wasnt sharp. i t may not have an "edge" but rubbing your finger over the "not edge" feels pretty sharp. Not as dull as i expected thank god. this is a great tool
