Brim removal

[Cheesesoup]

I often use a brim on my prints , to improve adhesion .
However when I remove the brim from the completed print most of it comes away but a little (very sharp) part of the brim remains on the print.
I want to remove this part of the brim, is a be-burring tool usefull in this sort of aplication ?

Even better idea is stop using brims

Yeah ! And help fill Kaimes landfill with all the failed prints. :O)

ASometimes I get a bit of a strange first layer that kind of spreads too much and I have to trim the sides off....yeah my **** settings but everything else is ok.

Sounds like 'elephant foot' maybe try easing the first layer height, so first layer is not so 'squished' into print bed.

Rather than listening to me and my waffle maybe google 'elephants foot 3D printing' you never know you might find a perfect solution.

Going by posts/opinions here I shall invest (all £5~£6 worth) in one

you need to sort out your adhesion problems, not use brims

Note the "often". I do not always use brims, just on tall yet thin prints these are the ones I need to de-burr.
Never seen anyone yet say they never need brims when the print is tall and thin.

Using brims is an improvement I used to use rafts for EVERY print. :O)
