Description

I hate having to remove the build plate from the chamber just to scrape the calibration and prime strips from it, so I came up with this oddball little scraper that's just big enough for those two strips.

Lay it down flat against the plate at the beginning of the triangle part of the calibration strip, and slide it backwards, the strip will pop up in the slot. same with the purge/prime strip, just around a corner lol.

This is the first thing I tried designing in Plasticity as well, so it's only been tested a few times. ideas for improvement are welcome!

prints great, only gripe is I wish the slope was more angled. it stops and creates a ledge based on printing vertically to reduse need of supports

Thanks so much for this feedback, I'm still learning and want to see what alternative methods could be used to provide both a strong blade and ease of printing, maybe some supports are okay if it lasts longer

ah yes, I found this out afterwards that the wide strip only happens on the X and P series when using the smooth PEI plate, and some others, when using Bambi Slicer; on other plates like the textured PEI plate, bambu slicer and orca lay down a single strip on the front and a large L shape at the back right corner. someone uploaded a tiny version of this to the print profiles that works great for those smaller strips and is insanely cute because it’s tiny. lol.

Printed well. I'm glad you published the print profile because the orientation was not obvious! It works very well - the design seems simple but it's quite ingenious, with the angle of the handle vs. scraper blade just right. Printed in ELEGOO black PLA on PET sheet. I should try it in PETG once the blade wears out.
