Review on BuildTak BT30185 Spatula by Steve Cooper

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Just buy it! - 3D printer accessory

This blade gets great reviews for a reason. It outperforms every other tool I've tried, especially for large prints. The odd shape end gives you a few options as you approach the edge of your model. Since it's long and already lying flat on the construction surface, you can slide and wiggle a bit to lift the model. I don't press much as the glass underneath my BuildTak surface is round (HatchBox Alpha printers) and only held on by clips. My preferred solution is to position the blade and tap the back of the handle with a small brass mallet (weighs about 6 ounces). Then wiggle to loosen.

Pros
  • Rigid stainless steel blade
Cons
  • No instructions
