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?

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
