I'm one of those irritating "use vinegar for everything"-persons, so I don't mind the smell much any more, but if the bed is hot the vinegar vapour is on the strong side.

From what I understand vinegar removes grease and then evaporate, leaving the glass squeaky clean. When just cleaned the prints adhere too well, and even with the bed cooled completely, they are difficult to remove. So I prefer to only clean it every now and then or before very difficult prints.

I use 7% diluted, clear vinegar.]]> Nudel General Fri, 15 Mar 2013 04:44:43 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,191922,192175#msg-192175 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,191922,192175#msg-192175 HoloPed General Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:21:34 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,191922,192009#msg-192009 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,191922,192009#msg-192009 waitaki General Thu, 14 Mar 2013 05:05:03 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,191922,192003#msg-192003 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,191922,192003#msg-192003 Wired1 General Thu, 14 Mar 2013 04:41:00 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,191922,191996#msg-191996 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,191922,191996#msg-191996
Every now and then I take it off and clean off fingerprints thoroughly with dish soap in the sink and leave it to dry.

I used to use acetone, but it had the opposite effect and made a thin layer of film which PLA wouldn't adhere to.]]> Nudel General Thu, 14 Mar 2013 04:06:13 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,191922,191980#msg-191980 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,191922,191980#msg-191980 Wired1 General Thu, 14 Mar 2013 02:29:44 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,191922,191965#msg-191965 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,191922,191965#msg-191965 jamesdanielv General Wed, 13 Mar 2013 22:12:38 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,191922,191957#msg-191957 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,191922,191957#msg-191957 Spk64 General Wed, 13 Mar 2013 20:17:04 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,191922,191922#msg-191922 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,191922,191922#msg-191922
