    First experience using blue tape, so far so good. But printing with blue filament on blue tape is just weird.

    Wow. @tonycstech wasn't wrong about blue tape sticking like... What's the easiest way to remove parts from blue tape?

    You peel up tape and then peel the tape away from the parts.
    You can remove any debris from the model with soap and water.

    I use RAVE 4x MEGA hair spray
    $2.99 almost too much hold. Difficult to raise PLA. Yet to have anything break free of that.
    Cleaning with ethyl alcohol (available at drug stores next to isopropyl) Spray it down, print... scrape glass with putty knife to get plastic bits off.. alcohol takes the spray off.
    Works perfect for me.
    Also, with this spray anyway, if the model comes off cleanly, it can be used 2-3 times before cleaning is needed.

    I had a Suave extreme hold hair spray laying around. Spray a thin coat over the printed area then use paper towel to tap around the area that have excessive liquid. After each print, wipe it off with an alcohol wipe (Clorox wipes works fine).

    I got a really good result so far. Also, printing PLA doesn't require heated bed. I blew my Mosfet when printing ABS. So I have printed PLA without heated bed. It works perfect for me.
