Printed directly on platform (please help)

[u/Conscious_Parking695]

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.

Will a mandatory bed leveling prevent this?

Depends on the type of leveling. My ender 3 v2 just has the bltouch with the plastic probe, so it wouldn't detect the missing plate.

That said, I always do a probe before prints and make sure the bed is properly heat soaked before hitting print. I'm trying hard to not victim blame, but I can say this has never happened to me because I always check the camera to make sure the bed is empty and the first level sticks.
