You don't need to use a tool to remove prints from the Mini's flexible steel sheet.

If you're printing PLA or PETG, you can wait until the bed cools down a bit (40-45°C), remove the sheet, and flex the sheet a bit. The print should come off pretty easily.

When I'm impatient and don't want to touch the build surface, I use a beveled, smooth knife like this one: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B075SLTY8B/

If you don't have a smooth knife/spade, as long as you don't jam the it into the build surface, it won't really be a problem.

Flexible steel sheets are awesome for tool-less print removal!

These work very well and you can replace the blade when it finally starts to get blunt, but I'm still on the same one after a year! 😀

Normal people believe that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.

Hate to admit it, but when I found a use for my blue plastic razor, I ordered an orange one for my Mk3! Works well and keeps parts from flying away as often compared to a more blunt scraper.

Hmmm, maybe I do need to change my plastic blade, because when carrying out a linear advance calibration, the printed numbers fly off all over the place, when removing them. 😀
