Safety Warning: Wear Cut-Resistant Gloves

####Safety Warning: Wear Cut-Resistant Gloves I have been warning students and friends of the risks behind 3D printing, especially when **removing parts from the bed with a spatula**. Without enough adhesion to the bed, the print fails a lot. With too much adhesion (using glue or hairy spray), it can be difficult to remove the part from the bed. A heated glass bed might be a better choice. Anyway, I was hurt so many times when removing parts from the bed. The issue is that when the part comes off, it pops off all of a sudden, leaving behind many risks. Recently, I ran the spatula right into my hand when removing a small part without wearing my cut-resistant gloves. Long story short, I had to drive myself to the ER and got a few stitches. It was not that bad. But I wanted to send out a warning to the 3D printing community. **Do please wear protective gloves when removing parts from a 3D printer bed**. Of course, there are other safety cautions that are worth our attention. **Stay safe and keep up the imagination.**
