BIQU CryoGrip Pro Glacier 257x257mm Panda Build Plate for Bambu-Lab P1S/P1P/P2S/X1C/X1E/X2D/A1 3D Printer Double Sided Upgrade Build Plate Removable Surface Platform

After using this build plate almost exclusively for over 2 weeks, here are my honest impressions of the product. Simply put, it sticks really well and releases when you need it to. I attempted to run it through a gauntlet of different brands of filament and I couldn’t find one that did not stick well to this build plate. I print a lot of articulated dragons with Silk PLA and with certain build plates, I will have adhesion problems at times. As a person who hates using glue on my build plates, it was a very welcome sight to see that glue is not required on this particular one. Unboxing and Initial Impression Packaging is very straightforward in a cardboard box, inside you will find an information sheet comparing the Frostbite and Glacier build plates that are offered in the CryoGrip series. You will also find a sticker sheet that has the AR code stickers to affix on the build plate for the X1 Carbon to read the proper build plate settings in the slicer. The build plate does have a slightly textured surface but it feels smooth to the touch and feels high quality. The easiest way to describe the texture of this build plate is that it sits right between the Smooth plate and Textured PEI plate that Bambu Lab offers. It also features an enlarged heat-isolating handle on the front with holes to facilitate quick cooling and make the build plate a lot easier to remove from the printer. The information sheet also outlines the settings needed to properly use the build plate. I initially set my slicer to run 5º C cooler but then I increased it to 10º C cooler with no problems. This build plate can also work with all filaments that have a nozzle temperature below 300º C so most engineering filaments will be compatible with this build plate. But where it shines is with PLA and PETG. The Frostbite version is even better at cold printing adhesion than this one with PLA and PETG. The gauntlet test I tested this build plate with numerous filaments. My printer is a Bambu Lab P1S and below is a list of what filaments I used. * Bambu Lab PLA Basic * Bambu Lab PLA Matte * Bambu Lab PLA Metal * Bambu Lab PLA Marble * Bambu Lab PLA Galaxy * Bambu Lab PETG HF * Bambu Lab ABS * Anycubic Silk PLA Dual and Tri-Color * SUNLU Silk Rainbow PLA+ * Eryone Silk Tri-Color PLA * Flashforge Color Changeable PLA * Elegoo Silk PLA * Polymaker ABS As far as performance goes printing numerous articulating dragons and the Midgard Serpent pictured above, the silk PLAs from the different manufacturers did not have any adhesion problems as long as you go with the recommended speed for the initial layer. I did adjust the settings in the slicer to utilize the new Bambu Cool Plate Super tack although the information sheet recommends the Cool Plate settings. I also adjusted the temperature manually to be 5-10º cooler because the information sheet recommends 45-55º C for PLA and 60-75º C for PETG and the recommended manufacturer temps for the ABS. As time progresses I will try other filaments like PA, TPU, and ASA. I would also like to mention that for the 2 weeks I was testing, the build plate was not cleaned at all which is a testament to the stickiness of this build plate. BiQU recommends soap & water for cleanup or even alcohol if you are printing PETG. With that being said, the build plate is so sticky that it can withstand an overnight power outage and resume in the morning with no problems on a cold PNW night. I am quite happy with that indeed. Energy savings with this build plate is going to be significant if you are running a printer farm and running everything 5-10º cooler as a whole. I did not test my particular energy savings on a meter but I am sure it will add up over time. Final Thoughts What can I say, BiQU did a great job with this plate and only time will tell if it is just as durable as the Bambu Lab build plates. If you keep it clean, it should stay very sticky and last a while in a heavy printing environment. My printers stayed running 24 hours a day for 2 weeks straight so it was thoroughly run through its paces. I like the overall texture as it leaves a very smooth finish on my builds and not too shiny. With all of my prints both large and small, I only encountered one problem with adhesion and its because I was printing with ABS and left the top of the printer open accidentally so it was a little too cool in the chamber and the large print warped and came off in one corner. Other than that no problems with adhesion. I give this product 5 stars for quality, performance, and value.

I picked up this larger 257x257mm BIQU CryoGrip Pro Glacier Panda Build Plate to run large-format production parts on my Bambu Lab X1-Carbon and P1S printers. Anyone who prints massive, wide-footprint structural parts knows that warping at the corners is a constant battle unless you slather the bed in messy glue stick residue. This specialized "Glacier" low-temperature coating completely changes the game, allowing you to lock parts down flush without consuming massive amounts of bed heater power. Why this 257x257mm CryoGrip plate is an absolute masterpiece: Unrivaled Room-Temp Cold Adhesion: The proprietary chemical formulation on this sheet is incredibly tacky. I ran a series of wide, flat structural enclosures with my heated bed set to just 25°C–30°C (essentially room temperature). The filament anchors down with massive initial grab force, making first-layer corner lifting completely impossible. Flawless Lidar & Calibration Passes: A major issue with third-party build plates on the X1C is that aggressive textures can trick the automated lidar sensor, throwing frustrating micro-step or first-layer inspection errors. The ultra-fine textured finish on this Glacier sheet lets the lidar run its calibration sweeps flawlessly, allowing you to keep all your automated safety features enabled. Massive Workflow and Power Efficiency: Because your machine no longer needs to wait several minutes to heat a heavy aluminum bed up to 60°C–65°C for every project, print runs start almost instantaneously. This dramatically speeds up rapid prototyping timelines and slashes long-term workshop power consumption. Perfect Factory Alignment Constraints: The 257x257mm footprint aligns cleanly with the rear bed alignment stops. The nozzle-cleaning rear tab cutout is perfectly positioned, ensuring the toolhead calibration sequence doesn't scrape or hang up on the edges of the spring steel sheet. Crucial Setup & Handling Guidelines: Let It Cool Fully Before Flexing: This plate holds onto warm plastic with an iron grip. To protect the specialized chemical coating from bubbling or tearing away from the steel core, always let the plate drop fully down to room temperature. Once cooled, give the spring steel a gentle twist, and your parts will pop free effortlessly. The Freezer Trick: If you are printing a highly rigid or stubborn material that refuses to drop its grip, slide the entire flexible steel plate into your kitchen freezer for 5 minutes. The rapid thermal shock will force the plastic to safely pop loose on its own. Strict Maintenance Warning: Never wipe or wash this plate with harsh chemical solvents like Acetone, which will instantly strip the low-temperature coating right off the sheet. To refresh the extreme tackiness, a simple wash under the sink with warm water and basic dish soap is all it takes. Final thoughts: The 257x257mm BIQU Glacier Panda plate is a premier quality-of-life hardware upgrade that completely lives up to the hype on full-sized machines. It eliminates the mess of adhesives entirely, boosts your daily output speeds, and provides ironclad first-layer reliability without tricking your printer's sensors. It is an exceptional value upgrade that modernizes a production workflow beautifully.

I purchased both the Glacier and Frostbite plates at the same time, and while they’re both well‑made, the Glacier quickly became my daily driver. It fits my Bambu X1C perfectly, and setup couldn’t have been easier. The included QR‑style stickers let me match it to an existing Bambu plate profile, so I didn’t have to tweak a single setting and the printer recognized it immediately. The Glacier has been incredibly versatile with every filament I’ve tried. Adhesion is outstanding; prints just stick, even on tricky first layers. One of my biggest frustrations with Bambu’s Smooth PEI plate is the ghosting from previous prints transferring to the next job. I’m not seeing any of that with the Glacier. The surface stays clean and consistent, and I’ve found I can go longer between washings. I still clean with soap and water regularly, but it doesn’t need it as often to maintain top‑tier adhesion. Since buying the plate in April 2026, I’ve put a few hundred hours of printing on it, and the surface still looks and performs like new. No wear, no peeling, no texture changes. It’s clearly very well made and built to handle long‑term use and abuse. Overall, the Glacier plate has been a fantastic upgrade. It is reliable, low‑maintenance, perfectly compatible with the X1C, and easily one of the best printing surfaces I’ve used.

In my opinion this is one of the best build plates you can use on your 3d printer. The adhesion is excellent and gives you an amazing first layer. Clean up is really easy, all you have to do is wash it under warm water with a gentle dish soap (I use regular Dawn) and it’s back to business afterwards.

Highly suggest this build plate. I rarely have issues with prints sticking and I never wash/clean it. DO NOT print TPU, it does stick like glue. It will come off without harming the plate if you are careful but it's a hassle. With PETG and PLA I have almost zero issues and I don't use any glue or any other adhesion promoter.

Purchased for my H2C. Other then a few minor issues, the plate has been great so far, I even touched it with my bare hands before printing to really stress test this plate, and then printed PLA, and then PETG without cleaning it and both had fantastic adhesion. It leaves a very nice, smooth, satin finish on bottom layer that I really like too. My issues with it so far, is that it seems to be ever so slightly wide, or maybe thick, so it covers the detection markers on the heatbed and throws errors when you try to print. One can either click ignore, or disable the plate detection in the software. Another minor issue is there is no QR code, or QR sticker... just a blank box. Again, one just has to click ignore, or disable plate detection in the software All in all, minor gripes. In all fairness I have only had the plate about 5 days so far. Will update this review if anything changes.

Read the multitude of reviews. I did, and ignored them as well, thinking it's a quality control issue that would be readily noticeable within the review period, and if it stunk, I would indeed return it. I thought I had beat the odds. Mine worked - well. For 5 whole months. And then.... I JUST recommended this to someone a few weeks ago. It was as if I jinxed myself. PLA, of all things, stopped sticking to this. PLA! In order to get things to stick, I have to run this plate at 60c, for a plate that claims to have great adhesive qualities, and "saves you money in energy costs" because it supposedly allows you to run lower temps and still have the same adhesion. This is simply not the case, and it's true for MANY. This plate worked well for MONTHS, but when it stopped working, it stopped working altogether. Running the bed temp up to 60c has things sticking, but now I cannot print anything of any size much beyond 50-60mm without some warping, or even outright failure of the print due to corners lifting - even at 60c, that's no guarantee that the print will stick either, I've had a few release, producing a spaghetti mess. I have cleaned this, over and over, with Dawn dish soap and water. I've used cold water, warm water, and hot water, and I've also used IPA, both straight, and hoping to find a solution, I combined the IPA with Dawn after 2 weeks of failed prints to see if that would make a difference. Dish soap, water, IPA are all failures at bringing this back to even reasonable adhesion performance. Once this build plate starts to deteriorate, it's basically shot, unless someone comes up with a solution. The whole sales schtick with this plate is being able to DITCH the glue/hairspray, so NO - using glue on this plate is NOT an acceptable solution. I've had this plate for 5 months and 1 week. I haven't used this thing non-stop. I've probably ran 20-30 prints in that time on this plate. At that rate, this plate runs $1 per use, if the failure rate tracks - and there's no reason, looking at the multitude of other reviews, to believe this isn't the typical behavior of this plate, eventually. I had such good success with the first few prints that I bought the Frostbite in March. I wish I had held off on that purchase. I have zero confidence that the Frostbite won't have identical issues, and now it too is out of the return window. Not only do I NOT recommend this, I'll be telling the person I DID recommend it to, to return it before the window closes - it WILL eventually fail. There's far too many reviews that mirror this experience for this to be a fluke, and you're gambling on something that has a track record of FAILURE, and looking around the internet, the company is terrible to deal with - multiple requests for info/delays in responses/woops, looks like it's outside the return window, too bad, so sad. In looking for this, to post the review, I got suggestions for their filament and multiple other plates. There's not a chance in hell I'll pay to try their filament just to see if that's the thing that will stick - run. Run far. Run fast. Just run away from this company.

Love this Glacier CryoGrip Pro plate! It gives excellent adhesion for PLA and PETG at noticeably lower bed temps (around 45-55°C for PLA) than my stock textured PEI, which helps reduce warping on bigger prints and saves a bit on power. The subtle fine texture looks almost smooth but grips reliably without needing glue for most filaments. Prints release easily once the bed cools, and the pink color is a nice touch. Durable so far after dozens of prints — highly recommend as a versatile upgrade, especially if you print a mix of materials.

Amazing product literally best adhesion even on low bed temp recommended

Qualidade de construção superior q original e ótima fixação. Mas se quiser colocar 50graus para PLA fica ate difícil de tirar da mesa.
