This is one of those tools that you never really think you need, or even know about. We brought a few on to the Print Farm when Valerie spotted them.
The Scotty Peeler is a small, handheld tool that is widely used in the 3D printing industry. It is indispensable for 3D printing because it helps to remove printed parts from the build platform without damaging them. The Scotty Peeler is a simple but effective tool that has a thin, flexible blade that can slide under the printed part, separating it from the build platform with ease. This is especially important when printing delicate or complex objects that might be difficult to remove with other tools. The Scotty Peeler is also helpful for removing support structures and cleaning up any residual adhesive from the build platform. The Scotty Peeler is an indispensable tool for any 3D printing enthusiast or professional, and it can make the printing process smoother and more efficient.
*No* Purge line is safe!
Funny name, but amazingly great tool. So far they have lasted without any wear issues for almost a year at our print stations.
IMPORTANT regarding Scotty Peeler metal blade:
Sheath contains a release agent which recoats the Scotty Peeler blade.
If adhesive adheres to blade, clean with solvent and insert into sheath for new release coating.
