This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on how to recycle your building platform after a 3D printing job. For a detailed demonstration of the process, please refer to our video tutorial.
Steps to Recycle the Building Platform
1. Remove Remaining Elements:
- After removing the part from the building platform using a bandsaw, some small remnants may still remain on the plate. Use a disc sander to remove these elements.
2. Inspect the Plate:
- Ensure all structures from the support are completely removed. The plate does not need to be perfectly parallel, as the coater’s rubber will compensate for minor unevenness.
3. Check for Potential Damage:
- Verify that no elements remain on the plate that could damage the coater’s rubber.
By following these steps, your building platform will be ready for recycling and reuse in the next printing job.
