Please use your spatula to work around the edges patiently. You’ll get it off after a couple of tries.

I would suggest using the flush cutters to remove parts which are flat on the build platform and many small parts on supports as well. There is a fun video demonstrating this [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe8sxupdwyg).
