Hey everyone, so i have Monoprice Maker Select v2 and, after not leveling the bed, I made a small dent in my Build Tak surface. This little dent showed up in every print, so i decided to switch out the Build Tak. However, tons of glue residue from the old surface remained after removal, and nothing i have used (Goop off, rubbing alcohol) can seem to pull the adhesive off the metal plate. Any suggestions?

Put a glass bed right over top of it. You can get one very affordably on Amazon and it will make your prints adhere much better.

It was a huge pain to remove. I basically just used my finger tips to “roll” it up little by little. I used some rubbing alcohol to wet it but not sure if that helped or made it worse. After I got a majority of the white paper like stuff off, cleaned the rest off of the sticky off with goo-gone. Attempted a putty knife but it scratches easily - could maybe try a plastic one.

bare glass isnt safe. Eventually a part will stick too much and the glass will shatter and most likely cut you. You need some sore of material on top of the glass. And since its heated bed you also would want borosilicate glass which is more durable to the heat cycles.
