The back side of the PLA spatula removes the pads pretty neatly. Just be gentle and make sure your xBuddy is on the PCB side so you're not pressing down on any components.

The back link is broken here. It jumps to "11. Prepare your desk"

Sander

•

To date still a broken back link

Frank

•

I was happy to find that the thermal pads came off without leaving any residue behind - just needed slow and repeated thumbnail prodding to get it done

Erkan

•

From what I've seen, a plastic sharp spatula works great. Just try peeling the tape under the thermal paste.

If you can pull the double sided tape film up, the cleanup is greatly reduced.

•

What should be used to clean any residue? Isopropyl alcohol? Methylated spirit?

Aaron

•

The same 99.9% isopropyl alcohol that I use for the print bed (and other electronics) worked great for me.
