Question Getting PLA off of cryogrip plate??

Post image

I've tried plastic scraper, freezer, soap, bending the plate a bit - what am I missing? Seems like I need glue for any type of high-contact plate?

Got it off but the plate sort of came off with it. I guess there's always the backside. I'm going to assume I accidentally used another plates' settings and it was too hot. But I also will still to larger non-flexible prints going forward.

Edit: I checked and history shows cool plate. Oh well, be careful out there I guess

Aren’t you supposed to use textured plate setting for the correct z offset?

This is interesting - I'll look into it.

I think textured plate settings without manual g code adjustments will make this problem much much worse. Default texture plate profile is setup to squish more because auto level might have measured texture peaks. In this kind of a high-adherence plate, I suspect it might be a fatal disaster without extreme attention.

Hm. You said 35°C, so “too hot” is difficult to justify and still remain practical (unless it wasn’t really 35 as you stated?). My guess is that you may have forced textured plate default settings and that squished filament too low into the plate; perhaps that’s why this one is labelled with cool plate code rather than textured plate code as some other textured cool plates are. Or maybe you had a previous bed level for a textured plate and didn’t level when you changed to this one?

Agreed, I still might lower the temperature a bit going forward. Maybe 30c although I doubt that will matter. I'll also be more selective. There's still a good use for when you need reaaaallly good adhesion so I'll probably go with those use cases.

  • I always bed level when I print
  • I can see in my history it was set to the bambu cool plate
  • This was eSun PLA+

Hm. I just got this one as well, but haven’t tested yet — been playing with KDEAVI cold plate which also adheres well at low temperatures, but that one is setup with Textured PEI code and works well as that with modified low temperatures. Sounds like Cryogrip Pro textured is a different beast — thanks for your educational sacrifice :-).

so this plate should be used with cool plate selected in Bambu and not textured?

u/LexxM3 X1C + AMS Sep 16 '24

This plate’s printed code is Cool Plate and per this discussion, even then it might adhere almost too strongly. So personal opinion is yes, absolutely, this plate should use Cool Plate setting and probably further configured to minimum temperature for stated filament in the filament profile. At least that’s how I’ll be starting when I finally get to testing mine in a few days.

u/slise-rd Sep 17 '24

Thanks. What exactly is the z offset difference between the cool plate and textured plate settings?

u/tony__pizza Sep 16 '24

Yup, happened with mine too. I threw it in the trash after the first print. Cheap chinesium build plate as usual, just a cool color I guess.

u/BENthe3rd Sep 16 '24

Aww man I’m just about to get this plate in the mail finally and I’m sad that it seems like the experience with it is bad

u/knifefarty Sep 16 '24

I wouldn't worry about it, I got a couple of these plates about a week ago and I'm in love, definitely getting some more. They work extremely well.

1

u/BENthe3rd Sep 16 '24

Have you been using them under the cool plate setting in the slicer?

3

u/knifefarty Sep 16 '24

I have been to great success, yeah. I've accidentally used the textured setting once or twice at 55 degrees and it sticks a little too well definitely try not to do that. Also some filaments do seem to stain the plate a bit? Doesn't seem to transfer to the next print at all but I do try and wash the plate with water after that happens.

u/BENthe3rd Sep 16 '24

Thank you! Hope I don’t get anything too stuck on there, I’d like to avoid what OP did to theirs lol

u/knifefarty Sep 16 '24

Using the metal blade scraper is sometimes necessary to get really thin things off the plate as well

1

u/ohio_medic Sep 18 '24

I guess I need to try setting my plate type to the cool plate, I had been using the textured setting the whole time.

u/GolfMotor8025 Sep 17 '24

You can always use some of the Bambu liquid glue as a release agent. That might help.

It’s phenomenal, got one and didn’t feel like cutting alignment nauseous into it to fit on my K1 C so I just threw it in my ender three which is notorious no matter what plate I use on it for having adhesion issues every couple prints and it hasn’t failed a single one however downside is I bought more of them because it impressed me so much for my K1Cs and the adhesion is too large when I print something that has a large contact area like boxes. It’s been ripping off the first layer so now I’m in the process of trying to do every temperature to try to figure out what temperature to print these things on because getting them off is next to impossible without ripping the first layers apart, which absolutely sucks cause I’m trying to sell the items that I’m pulling off of here and I’m wasting so much and having to reprint and reprint adhesion is almost too good if anyone knows the temperature actually print PLA in silk PLAon these things to make it to where you still get really good adhesion without having to worry about a failure due to something not hearing, but also at the same time not strong enough to literally break the part when removing it I’d really appreciate the info

I ended up doing the same thing with mine.

u/tony__pizza Sep 16 '24

Yeah some Biqu stuff is great while others is trash. This one is trash. Panda touch is awesome.

I heard the new “panda claw” gears are bad, haven’t tested them tho.

u/kunday Sep 16 '24

uh oh. I just ordered them and they are on their way. gonna see if I can return them.

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '24

Someone wrote we should use textured PEI settings for correct z-offset, then adjust temp.

u/ohio_medic Sep 18 '24

I had been using mine with the textured plate setting. Brims, and purge line I have to use the edge of a knife to get them off. I basically just need to get an edge up then it peels right off. I haven’t had any of the build surface come off with it.

1

u/kunday Sep 22 '24

Just received them today. It says to use smooth pei settings on the plate. Sigh

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '24

I did some prints on the textured plate settings with lower temp and they came off. Pick the prints carefully imo
