I'm having a lot of issues leveling my printer and one failed print came out like this. Is there something wrong with the surface that I need a new bed? This happens to me quite often and I literally can't get it off.

Magnetic bed with filament still stuck to bed

    What type of filament are you using? – agarza May 28 '22 at 19:06
  • PLA, don't know the specifics but its silk gold – desperrrr May 28 '22 at 19:08
  • Interesting, I had heard that some filaments adhere **really** well to PEI sheets, but not PLA. Maybe the nozzle is too close to the bed and therefore sticking too well. – agarza May 28 '22 at 19:10
  • Are you asking what is **causing** the filament to stick? or are you asking if the adhesion is not working properly and therefore need to get a new magnetic bed? – agarza May 28 '22 at 21:32
  • yes I'm wondering if I need to get a new bed if it gets out of hand – desperrrr May 28 '22 at 23:36
  • I have edited your question a little bit for clarification. If it is not to your liking, feel free to roll back the edit. – agarza May 28 '22 at 23:49
  • @desperrrr: Even if you did, it would just be a new bed surface you'd need, not an entire new bed. This is a good spare/consumable item to have on hand in advance in case you mess yours up worse than you did. – R.. GitHub STOP HELPING ICE May 29 '22 at 16:43

    @agarza: That's not PEI. It's textured "buildtak clone". – R.. GitHub STOP HELPING ICE May 29 '22 at 16:44
  • Have you seen [Options for removing failed prints](https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/q/15891/)? This question is pretty similar with regards to removing the print residu. If the sheet is too much damaged, you should replace it. – 0scar May 29 '22 at 21:53

Print the print once more. the first few layers will adhere to the excess material and you can then peel it all off.

If it's flat so you cannot scrape it off you can just print over it. No need for a new bed.

Check your levelling first because if it's sinking into the bed then the nozzle is far too low and you can end up with a scenario where it rips the bed material when you remove a print.
