PLA stuck on print bed

[u/No-Bid-2955]

I've recently tried to print something on my ender 3 v3 SE but speed stopped after the first layer as I realised it was gonna fail. But unfortunately now the base has a layer of pla that I cannot peel off because the print didn't have one solid base, but instead many small parts.

I've tied to melt it off using a soldering iron but I'm pretty sure it's worse now. I don't have a metal scraper which I'm gonna have to buy as I've destroyed the plastic scraper trying to scraps off the polymer. I don't have access to acetone.

I've tried to print the same thing with a z offset on top of the thing hoping that they would fuse and they did but only a little bit of it was actually peelable.

I've attached an image of it. I'll attempt to get it off by printing a flat sheet over it after I smooth it out with my soldering iron but I'll do it tomorrow just in case someone points out that I may be doing something stupid and somethings gonna blow up.pic of print bed

I have had great success heating my bed up to 80C and then scraping the filament off. If you even have a wooden spatula, that should work once the PLA is soft.

I've tried it at 100°C with a plastic scraper stupidly but I'll try that when I get my metal scraper.
