    $\begingroup$ Interesting, but "ramming" is better suited to clearing bowling pins off the alley than taking out printed objects of unknown bond strength to the substrate -- and unknown internal stress resistance :-( $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 19, 2016 at 15:21
  • $\begingroup$ I agree, Carl. Ramming would not be a good general solution and I expect would be poorly suited for anyone (like me) who prints a wide variety of objects and filaments. That said, it could be an adequate specific solution for a sufficiently narrow set of requirements. For example, ramming may be perfectly adequate for someone running a hypothetical "stretchlet factory." In contrast, I believe the first 3 methods are more viable for a broader range of prints, with the "eject and replace bed" method being potentially suitable for any print. $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 19, 2016 at 15:40

    $\begingroup$ Edited the answer to remove the unintended suggestion that the ramming method was better than the other methods. :-) $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 19, 2016 at 15:51

    $\begingroup$ ChrisThompson could you also add the suggestion by @fred_dot_u about the plowing method? That would make your answer a perfect reference for all future users :) $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 19, 2016 at 20:19
