CryoGrip Pro Glacier

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.

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.

I'm currently using this on my two Bambulab P1S and very happy with the results. It gives a very nice smooth finish with enough adhesion to the print bead. Great quality and built material, quick heat disipation and no struggle to separate the part after finish.

This is probably the best plate you can buy for your 3D printer. Unless you're looking to have a nice pattern on the bottom of your prints, stop here, buy this, and thank yourself. I have not had a single print fail (due to adhesion) since switching. It fits just like the standard plates, and just... works. Very easy to get the prints off as well (though they don't just fall off, they do like to stick, but bending the plate will get things off pretty easily). I would highly recommend this plate for anyone having any issues with adhesion. 45 degree bed temp set, and just click "print" and walk away. No more checking the base layers, no more scrub daddy on your plate every couple prints. I do wipe mine down with a microfiber cloth between prints, but that's just me. You probably don't need that.

This was so easy to use right away. I noticed how nicely things stuck to it even really intricate items. It can be hard to remove stuff of if it isn't thick but I till take that to have the stability it provides. Great product for a newbie like me!

Upgraded my Bambu P1S with this CryoGrip build plate and the difference is real. Prints stick firmly when the bed is hot and release cleanly once it cools. I have printed PLA, PETG, and ABS on it and all three behaved well without needing adhesive. The double-sided feature is convenient since you can flip it if one side gets worn. The spring steel flexes nicely and the magnetic attachment to the Bambu hotplate is solid. This is now my primary build plate and I would recommend it over the stock option.

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.

BIQU CryoGrip Pro Glacier build plate has become my go-to plate. Adhesion is strong even at lower temps, and it handles a wide range of materials without issues—PLA, PETG, ABS-GF, TPU, and PET-CF17 all stick great during the print. Once the plate cools down, parts release easily with no fighting or prying. No glue or extra prep needed. If it starts to get a little hazy, a quick wash with Dawn and warm water brings the texture right back and restores that solid grip. Consistent performance, low maintenance, and just works every time.

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