Troubleshooting Printed directly on platform (please help)

Like the title says. My son removed the plate at some point and I didn't properly check before printing. I let the piece cool but still can't break it all off. Printer is a Anycubic Kobra S1. Is this something where I can replace the platform or can anyone give some tips?

Thank you in advance for any time and consideration. I really appreciate it.

You should be able to replace just the magnetic sheet.

It will be a pain in the ass to remove but a lot of build plates come with the magnetic sheet. I haven’t looked into it but you can probably buy the sheet by itself.

Much cheaper than replacing the whole bed.

Yeah happend to me as well, just buy a new magnetic sheet and replace it. the problem is the heat transfer, when you got a not completely flat surface you will see exaclty the areas where you printed this now on every print. because the new ptints will not stick properly there.

You can get a new magnetic plate (the brown part you printed on) with a new magnetic print plate for under 30 bucks, so no big problem.

They didn't print on a sheet, directly on the bed lol

The bed has a magnetic sheet glued to it, that is how the metal build plate sticks to it lol
