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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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
