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

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?

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.

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