Hex key and mini clamp came in handy for battling a lifting edge
This really summarises the passive aggressive level you get to with a 3D printer: “Lift off the bed now you little fucker!”

You must have been really close to the end for that to work. I've tried many hacks but few really work for me in-situ for more that a dozen layers.
There wasn't much left and nothing that would collide with it. Seemed to work well enough
I usually use glue stick but just ran out
Have you tried hairspray? I definitely prefer it as it's easy to put on and gives nice, even coverage.
Not yet, I need to try that
I oddly usually have the other problem, my prints stick too good, the bottom of the print is white (though it is black PLA+) and it sometimes deforms my magnetic mat doohickey while trying to pry it free. Drives me crazy.
Your extruder might be set too low.
I'll try turning it up, iirc I have been running like 220° for PLA+.
I meant your extruder's z-offset it too low not the temperature.
Ahh I can try raising it, thanks!
Have they not invented blue painters tape where you're from?
Printing din rail?
It's an LED strip diffuser, this is the mount part
I also found a huge difference between filaments. Creality was terrible for me, Reflow is great
Ever since it was suggested to rub glue stick over the print bed beforehand, I haven't had a single issue with raising bits of my prints. Bought a huge school supply case of them like 4 years ago. I've used up 2 entire sticks.
Though skeptical about trying it at first, I've found that Aquanet hairspray works amazingly on those creality glass beds. Keeps PLA on, and prevents PETG from bonding.
