I've managed to do my first print. (I was lucky)
But not sure how to remove it or prep for the next one.

I let the bed cool, then try to push the piece off sideways. If that doesn't work, then I push a paint scraper under it. At the start of the next job, I spray a little isopropanol on the bed and wipe if off with a duster. But I'm a novice when it comes to 3d printing, so there may well be better advice available.

If I have problems removing a peice, I remove the glass then use an air duster upside down to rapid cool the piece/bed works great smiling smiley

I use water pump pliers to grab the object and bend it a little to lift one of its sides,
if it is still stuck I bend / lift one of the other sides until the object pops off the bed.
