I made this part to be a quick print that helps remove stubborn stuck-on material on the build plate. For example, when I print PETG, with supports, I get a lot of material that is very difficult to remove from the plate:
The intent for this print is to print over the stuck-on material in a large flat plate that will help remove the material when the part is lifted.
Here you can see the printer mid-print - the stuck on material is just visible through the first layer:
Final product:
After removal - it didn't take all the material, but it did help loosen what was there. I cleaned the rest up with some mild scraping and pulling
You can see where this print adhered to the stuck material, but couldn't quite pull it loose - it's possible that by being more careful during the removal, I could have gotten this to work better.
Print this to help remove residue from previous prints - for example, when I print a part with PETG and supports, it is very difficult to clean the textured build plate from all the tiny pieces of material.
