Keep the print surface clean.
Avoid touching the print surface with bare fingers. If you leave fingerprints, clean the plate according to its manufacturer's instructions. A dry paper towel alone does not remove skin oils.

Printing & Care Tips.
Practical notes for loading filament, handling articulated prints, and caring for your build plate.
Before printing
Check the spool's feeding direction.
Install the spool so the filament unwinds smoothly toward the printer's filament inlet. When loading, check that the spool turns normally and the filament actually enters the feeder. On some setups, the wrong spool orientation can let filament unwind outside the printer instead of feeding in.
After printing
Let the plate and print cool before removal.
Wait until the build plate and print have cooled. If your printer has a removable flexible plate, take it off and bend it gently to release the print.
Remove supports carefully.
If supports are difficult to remove, use small pliers carefully after the print has cooled.
Move articulated joints only after cooling.
After printing with Chrometry Silk PLA+, wait until the print has fully cooled before flexing its joints. Moving the joints while the print is still warm can cause them to break.
