Wow, awesome, thanks for reporting here! This might be the first successful DPT-RP1 tip extraction reported on the internet! "First!"

As I was mentally preparing for having to do this at some point, I was thinking of bending the very tip of the needle, so that once the plastic solidifies around it, it can't just slide out. But apparently you got it to work without having to do that. Congrats, and thanks!
