I find that I spend too much time ensuring that I get every speck of support material off the print plate long after I’ve removed the actual print.

When it comes to the skirt, I always set it to be two layers tall for this exact reason, and I was hoping it’s possible to do the same with the support base.

EDIT: PETG on textured printsheet

    Ah so you’re using it as a removal agent vs a sticking agent. That’s interesting. I am using the stock mk3s plate and recently bought a textured plate. I haven’t had any issues with stuff sticking yet, but I haven’t printed anything that has a large area on the bed. Everything I stand up, although I’m experimenting with lithophanes and that’s giving me a whole new level of pain in the ass to deal with.
