cleaning buildtak

[J0ram]

Hello all,

I am trying to clean my buildtak plate but so far I can’t get the little pieces of PLA and ABS off the plate, I tried with a scraper and with cleaning alcohol but there are still little pieces of plastic that stuck.

Do you know how to remove those little pieces without damaging the bed?

Thank you!

For dissolving PLA, you could use tetrahydrofuran. For ABS, acetone should do the trick!

I am not entirely sure that these solvents wont affect the BuildTak-sheet though.
