What have you guys been using for cleaning the build plate? I know it uses some special surface to make filaments stick and come off easily, and I don’t want to damage it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What do you need to clean off? I have never cleaned mine with anything other than a quick wipe with a dry cloth .

Hi Xanthos, the manual suggests using acetone on a cloth or paper towel - works well for me. I find if you do a lot of ABS and then switch to PLA you can have issues getting adhesion - quick wipe down with acetone and good to go.

I have that exact problem, cleaned it with acetone but can’t get any PLA to stick to it now.
