🧴 Brett's Pro Tip:
“For a clean release — especially when the bottom becomes the top of your print — use a glue stick, hair spray, or even a thin layer of soapy water. It helps the part pop off with zero struggle.”
Brett has been loving the vibrant, non-glossy finish of our Flex PLA — especially in orange and blue. He's already burned through 8 rolls and counting 😎
