For low-temperature materials, it is recommended to print below 300°C. Before removing the part, wait for the build plate to cool down. A useful tip is that with materials like PLA or PETG, the part usually releases itself when cooled. If the part remains adhered, apply some water or isopropyl alcohol around the base to facilitate removal. It is important to ensure that the first layer is correctly calibrated, as if it is too close, materials like ABS and PETG may cause chipping or cracking on glass surfaces, even without adhesive.

For high-temperature materials, it is recommended to print above 300°C. In this case, the part should be removed immediately after printing, while the build plate and part are still hot. This is because high-temperature materials shrink quickly when cooling, which can cause cracks on glass surfaces in less than 60 seconds. It is recommended to handle the part carefully to minimize stress caused by cooling. To avoid the risk of cracks, it is ideal to use durable printing surfaces designed to withstand high-temperature materials.

Xtreme Lock is not compatible with Polypropylene (PP).
