    A lot of people have asked what tools to get.

    The most valuabe tool next to blue tape and purple elders glue stick is the circuit lifter which I use to pry between the tape and the glass after a pei t is done. https://www.etsy.com/listing/225140...id=225140811&gclid=CLaax96i1sYCFVNufgodsrgKPQ

    The next up is a set of hemostats I have a straight and 90Degree which is great for pulling out support structures.

    possible hemostat vendor: http://www.pjtool.com/hemostat-clamp-5.aspx?gclid=CM6Zkaiz1sYCFVBqfgodI6QDlA

    I have a cricut kit like you linked. But ever since getting the robo3d I never use it. I use that thing chizzel thing that came with the robo works way better than the flimsy cricut. Usually I just give the print a good whack with the scraper/chizel that came with the robo. I have bent my cricut so many times because its flimsy.

    My preferred method on the robo is to work a razor blade underneath the print and then give the paint scraper a quick tap underneath the blade. Part goes flying.
