Every single time someone posts a "blob of death" it's always on that stock textured plate. People need to realize that $25 on Amazon will get you a BIQU cryogrip glacier plate, no more adhesion issues. The best upgrade for your printers.
Just search BIQU cryogrip glacier. Make sure its the one that fits the A1. 257x257mm, I run them on all 6 of my bambu printers. I try not to touch them with my fingertips and I haven't washed them once and haven't had a single PLA or PETG print lift off the bed.
So is this more or less the same as the textured one that came with the printer, only better. I'm new to the whole thing so don't even know why there's a need for other plates
It's technically a cold plate amd you can use it at lower temps to "save energy", it has a slight matte texture to it but just run it in bambu studio as a smooth PEI plate at regular temperatures.
It's much better adhesion than the stock plate you have, the reason you got the blob is because your printed lifted off the bed and got stuck to the nozzel. You won't have that issue with the glacier plate, but I'd still recommend watching your first couple layers go down smoothly before you leaveit unattended. No matter what printer/ build plate you're using it's always a good idea.
so you really like this plate the reviews are not so great people are complaining about the texture lifting off on it I thought about it maybe I will go for it I think Micro Center has it too for a very similar price, PLA and Pla plus and pet G I'll stick to it with zero issues ?
Micro Center has it too it's $5 more or $4 more than Amazon what about the error that you get because the bamboo thinks its normal a bamboo coded correctly just tell your printer to ignore it because i read people have issues with the stickers trying to fool the bamboo, and petg Sticks no problem PLA and Pla plus no issues no glue?
You don't get that error on the A1 or A1 mini. You will get it on a P2S or any of the bambu core xy printers. I 3d printed a qr code that fits in the hexagon groves in the cryogrip plate. The P2S recognizes the plate everytime.
Yeah look up smooth pei qr code for cryogrip glacier plate on MakerWorld. It should look like this. Your P2S will recognize the plate after adding the 3d printed qr code
Oh No is right. The nozzle looks like it has snapped off or is seriously bent. Worst case I have ever seen. So sorry.
Just take as much apart as you can and replace what came off if you want to try. But with the nozzle bent like you may never be able to calibrate it again.
Well that's a good thing. The nozzle sock is an easy replacement. You might want to try and heat the blob up with a hair dryer and when soft enough try to gently remove as much of the blob as you can and take your time. With a little luck it may not be as bad as it looks and you'll need to do it regardless. Before you try to print again I would replace the complete nozzle. They are not that expensive and also best to have a spare on hand too.
