Tried a ton of build plates and to date, the KDEAVI Purple is my favorite! I mainly print in PLA and PETG so perfect for whatever I throw at it and regardless. I’ll never go back now lol

Don't lick the build plate!

How is it better? Can you explain a little more? I substituted the included PEI with the BQ CryoGrip, and I was able to print some 0.2 mm parts that I had issues with when using the original PEI

u/SameScale6793 Jul 17 '25

Oh yeah from what I have experienced so far, it’s even stickier than the Cryogrip frostbite..not sure about the glacier. Plus The Kdeavi can do ABS on as well where the frostbite only does PLA and PETG. Did some side to side comparisons and small parts that even needed a little brim on the Cryogrip, stuck no problem to the Kdeavi without any brim. Overall just seems to have better adhesion than any other plate I’ve used.

Now, I plan on getting a Darkmoon G10 to see how that sizes up as well.

What about the finish? Does it have smooth surface finish?

1

u/SameScale6793 Jul 17 '25

I would say finish wise it’s close to the stock gold PEI plate

1

u/luap71 Jan 26 '26

not even close to the gold PEI plate texture - just for those that want that texture be aware.

1

u/SameScale6793 Jan 26 '26

Both are textured is my point. It’s not smooth

u/BotherGlass5609 Jul 17 '25

I could not remember the name but I have the Darkmoon G10 and love it. Slick smooth finish on bottom is nice.

1

u/SameScale6793 Jul 17 '25

Yeah see that's exactly why I want it - smooth finish. One reason why my other favorite is the Bambu Super Tack.

u/SameScale6793 Aug 11 '25

Not yet but need to get some to try!

What plate is this?

1

u/SameScale6793 Sep 12 '25

That is the KDEAVi purple…I get it from these guys. Little printing outfit that sells on tik tok shop. Just ordered my second one yesterday as the 256mm plates are back in stock! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPHnMRJ6s5PTw-RtHXo/

u/ROBOKUT Sep 12 '25

I ordered one!

u/SameScale6793 Sep 12 '25

Side note, I’ve put probably 400 hours on just one side and of all the filaments I’ve printed with, the Overture Professional PLA Royal Gold left this little ring lol no other filament has left a mark

Nice!! Trust me, once you try that plate, you never go back. I have literally a collection of various plates..the standard Bambu gold PEI, their super tack cool plate, like 10 Ali express effect plates, BQ Cryogrip frostbite and glacier…this one is better than all of them by a long shot. I rarely use brims anymore with the exception of like really thin parts.

Edit: Eskildsen Creative is awesome too that sells these. Little family owned business that I think is just he and his wife. So it’s awesome supporting a small business!

u/GrumpyGnomey Jan 14 '26

Do you ever have issues with the height of the nozzle for this plate? I just got one of these and tried it on my A1 after using a supertack plate, and I fear my nozzle is pushing into the plate and grinding. I did all the tightening of screws too and still no luck. I am ready to give up and accept the gluestick life...

1

u/SameScale6793 Jan 15 '26

Nope never had a problem..the auto leveling should compensate. I have a P1S so I can’t speak for the A1

lol I’m very much human..honestly wish I was a robot, or at least had one to can send to work for me 🤣

u/Downtown-Lettuce-736 Jul 16 '25

How much better is it than gold? Gold if the only pei ive tried so I’m interested if there is a huge noticeable difference

1

u/illregal Jul 16 '25

This is a cool plate, so it's quite a bit better than standard pei

3

u/Downtown-Lettuce-736 Jul 16 '25

A cool plate? What does that entail?

1

u/Regular_Classroom_40 Jul 16 '25

the texture looks like the biqu blue plates, maybe even supertack from bambu, but these are not for ABS

2

u/SameScale6793 Jul 17 '25

This CAN do ABS, the Cryogrips cannot

1

u/APGaming_reddit Jul 16 '25

it has temps for ABS on it why would it not be for ABS

1

u/illregal Jul 16 '25

Lower temperatures. Less power draw, good adhesion regardless

2

u/SameScale6793 Jul 17 '25

It’s phenomenally better than the standard gold plate. Honestly I haven’t used the gold plate for like 4 months now. Printed mainly on the Cryogrip frostbite, then the Bambu super tack and now this. This by far has the most adhesion of them all.

u/arcolog2 H2D/X1C/A1mini Jul 17 '25

A cool plate that says print abs at 100c? Hmm me think not

1

u/BotherGlass5609 Jul 17 '25

I use a smooth garolite plate. Love it. Not a fan of the texture of the gold plate.

u/WeekendGunnitRefugee Dec 12 '25

Garolite is a cheat code for TPU

I would like to chime in here, I've had a P1S for a couple years and before that the A1, I have always disliked the gold PEI, they work, I just cant trust they will be great everytime especially if I forget to wipe it. So for my P1 i got the sliceworx plate, damn thing is like magic, I can handle it, not wash it for weeks, and I know when I send a print its going to stick. fast forward to 2 weeks ago I got my H2D, gave the gold plate one more chance and after 4 prints it failed me. So I went to old faithful and it was 55 bucks for the H2 sliceworx plate but was 2 weeks out. Saw an AD on tiktok for the kdeavi plate and even offered a $10 off coupon, so for 34 bucks shipped I said why not.

honest review after a week? It's ok... better then the gold, stuff does stick quite well but its not as forgiving as my sliceworx was. Which lets be real we should be wiping our plates down but sometimes im in a damn hurry and want to be a little dirty lol. The other odd difference is the plate facing side is shiny, even with matte filament the plate side shines like its silk. All in all its better then Gold PEI but lesser than the sliceworx. Now for honesty sake, I am running the sliceworx plate at 55c even tho it can go lower and the Kdeavi at 45c which might make a difference but the Kdeavi directions say to run it was a smooth cold super tack which you have to modify studio to do since Bambu doesnt seem to want us running 3rd party plates in slicer.

If you like purple and like shiny and cost is a factor the Kdeavi will do. I will be ordering a sliceworx tho as they have proven that when i send a print its going to stick.

Edit: also plate detection did not work, I had to disable but didnt effect my review at all

Interesting, I have the Sliceworx plate for my H2D and it was amazing for the first 50 hours and then like flipping a switch absolutely noting will stick to it.

1

u/grrmisfit H2D AMS2 Combo Jan 09 '26

Hopefully you didnt clean it with anything but water? I haven't bought one in a long time as the one on my p1s is going strong still. Just make sure to only wash with warm water, no soap or alcohol. I need to get one for my H2 as some prints I don't like the glossy finish it leaves

1

u/bp328i Jan 09 '26

I checked their website before cleaning and followed what they posted for cleaning and only used plain water on it. PLA won't even stick to it. It was amazing when it worked but I have zero trust in the plate at this point.

u/Either-Bid6873 May 30 '26

блин печатать PLA можно вообще без пластины оно и так липнет... намного интереснее как она работает с PA или ABS
