TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Printed object is stuck
to the build plate.
Remove the build plate from your MakerBot
Replicator Mini and wait for the object to cool
down. Objects will detach more easily aer they
have cooled.
If the object is still stuck, take a thin metal cra
spatula and carefully work the blade under the
edge of the object. When the blade is most of the
way under the object, twist the handle slightly.
The object should come free.
Object peels o the build plate
during printing.
Ensure that the build plate is clean. Dust and oil
from your hands or tears and wrinkles in any tape
covering the plate surface can prevent objects
from sticking to the plate. Wipe down the build
plate with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Object isn’t sticking to
the build plate.
Make sure that build plate tape is not covering
the metal disks at the back of the build plate.
Covering the metal disks may interfere with the
automated leveling process.
