    • The Markforged printers have incredible build plate adhesion so you must add a layer of glue to be able to remove your part

    • Lift up the plastic Visor

    • Remove the build plate by lifting upwards then pulling out

    • Apply a line of glue to the back edge of the build plate where the purge line will be printed

    • Printing with reinforcement will also create a tower near the back left of the plate, so glue this area as well if needed

    • The area that is used for both the purge line and tower should be fairly obvious from slight wear on the build plate

    • Apply a consistent layer of glue where the part will be printed, and be sure to not miss any spots

  3. Check the first layer to ensure good adhesion and even extrusion thickness Check intermittently to ensure print success
