BIQU CryoGrip Pro Glacier Panda Build Plate for Bambu-Lab A1 Mini 3D Printer, Double-Sided Fine Textured Spring Steel Sheet, Firm Adhesion,184x184mm, 1 Piece

I have two kobra 3s and one of them had a z-axis calibration issue which caused it to remove all of the top textured of the original build plate in a 2" diameter circle, so I needed a replacement build plate. I had been reading about the cool plates so I decided to try this one (CryoGrip Pro Glacier). I was really interested in not having to use any sort of bed adhesive, like glue sticks. I hate having to remove the glue stick residue from the prints, it's not hard, it's just a pain.When this build plate arrived, I immediately put it on the printer and printed a benchy, because it's fast and I knew what to expect from the printer. It printed great, no bed adhesion issues. I've used this plate daily for almost a month and I have not had a single print failure due to a bed adhesion issue. The models just stick to it. As a matter of fact, they stick almost too well to it; I've had to start using a metal scraper to remove some models (gently of course).According to the instructions, the bed temperature should be between 45 and 55 degrees C for PLA and the default temp for pla on the kobra 3 is 60. It's easy to adjust the bed temp on the kobra 3 and I have managed to change the default temp to 45; however, the default doesn't stay at 45 for more than 3-4 prints before it's somehow back to 60. So I just try to make sure it gets changed to 45 every time. However, sometimes I miss it and the temp isn't adjusted the bed temp is 60 the whole time, I haven't found that has had any impact on the quality of the prints.This plate is textured, however, it is finely textured, it's not quite smooth but it's pretty close. There is a very noticeable difference between the feel of models printed on it versus those printed on the textured plates.I'm very happy with this plate. I actually ordered a second one about two weeks after I ordered the first one. These are now my go to build plates.

I am using this plate to replace the stock PEI plate on a Sovol SV06 Ace and it fits perfectly. Additionally, I have put the Biqu 355x355 plate on the SV08. While the stock PEI plates are very good at sticking PETG, ideally you should wait until the plate has almost fully cooled before flexing the plate to pop the part off the plate otherwise, you risk leaving a microlayer of PETG attached to the PEI plate. This microlayer is not fun to remove. These Biqu plates are a whole other story, they hold PETG nicely and you can pop the printed part off immediately without any damage to the plate (yes, it is best practice to let some parts cool first but, you can pop it hot if you want to). While I haven't tried ABS/PLA or any of the more exotic filaments, I can say that I do like these plates for PETG.

I purchased the glacier pro for my flashforge adventurer 5m pro as i wanted a plate with a smoother finish, that would work well adhering all types of filament. Super easy to swap out, looks nice, and for the price i am satisfied with the overall quality. I do wish the frostbite was available in 235x235 so I could get just a bit better adhesion for PLA, but if I use the top of the range for heating (I think 55) it does stick well, and leaves a nice smooth finish on the underside of the print.

Would not recommend due to the inconsistency of quality. I have three different plates now with all three different surfaces. I have two printers which print same file side by side and this by far has been the toughest decision to make. I wanted to keep these plates but the surface of the print does not match from plate to plate hindering ability to print simultaneously. I would say don’t buy this if you are running multiple printers and want the same quality in print surface. I will be sharing some picture of the plates surface and also the print quality from plate to plate. The three cubes are (left) plate #2 on printer #1 (center) plate #1 (same in both printers) and (right) plate #2 on printer #2. Quality is crap from the plate #2. Not like my original cryo plate. I hate to give bad reviews but the consistency of the quality is extremely poor. Adhesion is great and the plate number one has great texture appearance. The thickness of all three plates differ from .51 to .56 to .66. (.66 is the plate #1 and the center cube with the expected texture in print side. I have done numerous prints to test and adjust to no avail. I am not making a profile just for the lack of quality and consistency of a well known company. Hopefully you have read this in its entirety to assist you in your future purchase.

Game changer! My Bambu stock plate (textured PEI) was starting to give me problems no matter how often I clean and wash it and setting the right temp. Switch to the frostbite and haven't had any adhesion problems. It's sooo strong, my supports always gets left behind if I try to just take the print. So now I have to remove them bend the plate to remove my prints.

Me olvidé de vigilar la primera capa. Es la mejor cama que tengo para mi impresora. Ya ni quiero usar otras.Lo único malo, es que por alguna razon, siempre se lastima en una zona en particular. Pensé que el problema era que la ponia mal, pero no, incluso no sucede con las otras camas.Aun así es la que mas uso, solo evito imprimir en la zona dañada.

Fantastic build plate. Works amazing on my Bambu printers. I would highly recommend everyone get it. I abuse these build plates and hardly clean them and they still work great.Make sure you turn off build plates detection, and select cool build plate.
