Difficulty removing very tall prints

I have noticed that because of a combination of how core xy works and the location of the "super well located" front rail if I'm trying to remove a fairly tall print it can be difficult.

In order to remove the build plate from the magnetic bed you have to tilt up a bit and then pull out, the problem though is that doing so is difficult if you have a tall print that also takes up a good deal of the build plate.

Does anybody have any tips that could help me with this issue?  Any assistance would be much appreciated, thanks.

Cutting torch?  Hacksaw?  Just kidding, of course!  That’s interesting.  CoreOne specs are 270mm max height.  How tall are the objects you’re having trouble with?  Can you slide the plate forward without lifting it?

I would have thought that you move the bed all the way down, the print head to the front -- then lift the sheet's front edge and tilt the print slightly backward to pull it out. What's getting in the way there?

Pop one of the front corners up, slide a sheet of plastic/cardboard/non-magnetic material between the bed and the sheet to break the attraction. Slide forward.

I can envision a giant CoreOne underbed spatula on Printables.Com!  😜

RE:

Hmm the spatula idea is clever.  The problem for me is the force required to break the magnetic hold is quite a lot so it ends up lifting the bed quite a bit.  This would solve that problem.

I think what I might do is that as well as add a custom gcode to the slicer so that the bed moves to the bottom of z axis without me having to do it manually
