A method of removing a printed item from a 3D printer.

The printed item may be printed by a tool head of the 3D printer atop the print bed. The print bed together with the printed item may be unloaded from the 3D printer upon completion of the printing, where unloading the print bed may include detaching the print bed from the print stage. The printed item may then be released from the print bed.
