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

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.

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 ImpressionPackaging 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 testI 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 ABSAs 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 ThoughtsWhat 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.

Works great on my x1c. Adhesion is amazing, no need for glues. The only drawback is the sticker you have to apply to the plate for the reader to not alarm out before print.

Yep, these suckers GRIP like no other build plate on the planet! For solid pieces without brims or supports, these are second to none. On the other hand, I am still trying to get some support anchors dislodged from one of them. We do miniatures for a living. For tiny pieces with no supports, this is the only build plate I will use from now on.

I chose the BIQU Glacier build plate instead of the Frostbite plate to replace my super worn out Bambu Labs gold PEI textured plate. I mostly print PLA, but I have used ASA, PETG, PLA (and variants thereof) without issue on this plate. The packaging included QR stickers for build plate recognition and there is a pre marked spot on the build plate for precise sticker placement. I personally keep the build plate recognition feature off in my slicer software since I was previously using an off brand smooth PEI plate that I didn't like. This is a relatively smooth-textured plate, with almost a satin finish. It is not nearly as rough as the Gold textured plate included in Bambu labs printers. That may be a positive or negative depending on your preference.Adhesion is excellent with this plate. I keep Bambu studio on high temp smooth plate, and have no issues whatsoever with adhesion. I am not great about keeping my hands off the plate, and yet this plate keeps models adhered very well. Parts do not slide right off once they're cooled as they do with the textured plate, and it takes flexing the plate to pop them off.The sizing seems just a hair bigger than OEM plates, but that's just an observation. Not nearly enough to cause any issues in my X1C whatsoever.I compared numerous plates to this before purchasing, and this seems to be the best all arounder in terms of quality vs price. This is my go to plate now.

This plate significantly improved adhesion and reduced failures. Super happy with the plate! What I do might be a bit blasphemous, but I run the plate with same temps bed temps as the manufacturer plate and have wicked strong adhesion.

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.

I really like this flexible print bed plate. It will allow me to print items up to the maximum capacity of the K2 Plus at 350mm x 350mm. However, it is only 356mm x 356mm in total size. The K2 Plus stock print plate is 370mm x 370mm. This causes an issue with the foreign object detection process which pauses every single print before it starts. I haven't figured out how to disable this feature yet, but all you need to do is resume each print after it pauses.The prints stick really well without the need of glue and at the same temperature I was printing PLA on the stock print plate, which is between 45 and 55 Celsius. I didn't pick this up to run the heated bed at a cooler temperature. I just wanted something with a less gritty texture. Prints have a much smoother first layer finish as the texture is not as heavy on the Glacier plate, versus the stock K2 Plus plate.It is very flexible and adds a nice contrast when printing black PLA. It is also double sided, so I can flip it over when the one side gets worn out. I have noticed that sometimes a smaller PLA print likes to leave behind a residue, which can be removed by printing over that same spot with a larger print. I rarely wash the plate. I leave it on the heated bed and use a sharp tool to snap the prints off easily. The grip the prints have on the plate is perfect for staying attached during printing and coming apart when the print is complete and cooled.The plate is 2x as expensive as a replacement stock K2 Plus plate, but I would still recommend picking one up. Even if it is a little smaller and gives me issues when starting a print.

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.
