Thanks, Bryan! I'd like to see a ful bed print and not just a small area in the middle. My experience with any kind of flex bed is the magnetic grip is weaker than the print to bed bond. Over the weekend I printed some server risers in ABS and when the print flexed, it literally pulled the sides of the flex plate off the magnetic sheet. Does this flex plate suffer the same fate? I half expected a "redrum" when you examined your air quotes, LOL.
If that's a file you could share with me, I could use it as a test print. I was mostly going for something simple that would have to hang on tight while growing sideways, but if you've got a good torture test for ABS adhesion I'll give it a shot.
@@BV3D Sure, If I can email it to your contact email, I can do that, or if you have another means so that we don't exploit each other's email addresses, I'm Ok with that, too.
Experienced Printer here. I've been having trouble with a very specific and intricate model reliably adhering to any of my current plates. I sell the prints in question and failures really effect the bottom line. Heavy brims have been the answer thus far, but really eat into post processing time. If this plate can solve my problem without brims, it's worth it to me. Thanks for the introduction and review. I'll give it a try. I enjoy your channel.
Great to see a friendly 3D printing youtuber. Unlike that mean guy, Joel. (I am totally joking. Joel is a sweetheart.) I hadn't heard of STTPU before and I started printing using service bureaus before you could get anything for home use, and got my first home printer almost 15 years ago. So much wood on that thing. LOL It sounds perfect for a use I have in mind, so I will definitely be trying it out. Thanks for the info about the flex plate as well. I've been wanting to get a back up plate as the one from another brand is pretty close to warn out.
i'm very disappointed in Bambu discontinuing the Engineering plate. Still looking for an alternative; unfortunately not this, I print mostly ASA. Great vid; thanks.
Its far too expensive IMO, I dont have any issues with the build plates I already have, some of them were only one third of the price of the Sliceworx buildplate.
Thanks Bryan. I used the code but it didn't work. I still ordered but was a bit disappointed. I used the code on a different plate (the one for ender 3) so maybe that's why ugggg
Hi, it should work no matter what you buy from SliceWorx. Maybe they hadn't activated it quite yet, but I tested it a little bit ago and it seemed to be taking the 5% off during checkout.
@@nathankean7968 ya maybe I had a space in the front of the code I didn't account for. Its a issue with a lot of websites don't account for. No worries its still a good deal
This was suggested earlier by a channel member, as well. He sent a file that had given him trouble in ABS on a different printer & bed. Here's the result: ruclips.net/video/GLOtRv_XEVQ/видео.html
Well, it was good while it lasted. Sliceworx plates are great with PLA, but ABS-GF is highly questionable. Brim and prime lines are stuck to the plate. Since we can't use any cleanser or solvents, it makes it impossible to get the plate back to normal. Bambu Lab textured plates have been bulletproof for me for more than a year. (Sliceworx is sending me a one-time replacement.)
I'm going through support right now because I print something with Bambu Labs branded ABS and the print was STUCK on there. I mean, nonremovable stuck. Will update you whenever I hear back from support. I've already sent them pictures, and they're working with me, but it's the weekend.
@@cdrpyro just got a refund a few days ago. No other update. I really want to ask them why they refunded me if there is no issue... which seems to not be on their radar nor concern. The only way I could get it off if I were to have tried was to take a razor blade to it. Scrape off the metal coating, and ruin the plate.
@@bubbanc I have regular PETG, some PETG HF (Bambu's new one) and some Bambu PET-CF (not PETG-CF). Pick your poison. As for the model, will adding a cylinder to the plate in Bambu Studio and scaling it to 50mm diameter at 10mm tall, slicing in spiral vase mode, no bottom layers, and an inner brim do it for you? It sounds like the footprint you're asking for is just the circumference of a circle. An inner brim doesn't do anything unless I set the bottom layers of a one-wall cylinder to 0.
Interestingly, the X1/P1/A1 plate is the *_only_* one of the four to include TPU. The other three plate sizes - A1 mini, Creality K1, and K1 Max, specifically say DO NOT use TPU.
They say IPA will damage this Pei flex plate, is that only apply to this particular plate or all Pei Flex plates? Bambu's Pei plate says not to use acetone. Thanks
The "Don't use IPA" applies to this specific flex plate. I use IPA on my other textured PEI plates all the time. Water only (or soap & water only) on this one.
@@BV3D Thanks so much for the quick answer. Maybe you could do a video on cleaning bed plates, do's and don'ts. So many recent arguments in face book groups over this. Some say IPA damages the plate over time, some say just soap and water. I use IPA after each print and will soap after so often. Thank you for your help. Love the videos.
Has anyone found a print bed for Bambu that is like the matte frosted spring steel ones you can buy or they come stock with the 5S1 now I believe? I'm looking for a matte frosted finish vs. the deep bumps and shiny or just smooth I see everywhere. Might grab one of these for my A1, not having that encloser like my P1S makes a big difference in my case.
Interestingly the description of that plate now lists TPU as one of the acceptable filaments, but not 'TPU derivatives'. Weird. And at £52 postage, I think I'll pass... 😂
That IS interesting: the X1/P1/A1 plate is the _only_ one of the four to include TPU. The other three plate sizes - A1 mini, Creality K1, and K1 Max, specifically say DO NOT use TPU. Also, WOW! For THAT much postage, I don't blame you!
Seems like a pretty limited plate for similar pricing to one made of G10, which works with everything mentioned as a no no for this one, and can be cleaned with ipa. Pass.
Almost cut my hair It happened just the other day It's gettin' kinda long I coulda said it wasn't in my way But I didn't and I wonder why I feel like letting my freak flag fly Yes, I feel like I owe it to someone Must be because I had a flu for Christmas And I'm not feeling up to par It increases my paranoia Like looking at my mirror and seeing a police car
Glad to see you put this plate review to bed.
I see what you did there. 😂
Thanks, I bought it and also bought 7 colored pla rolls.
I bought the BL P1P version with your code. Thanks for the heads up.

If you are printing in PETG, I don't know of anything that works better than G10 as a bed material. Angus did a video about it quite some time ago.

@@BV3D well tried it several times before just giving up and purchasing a normal pricing.
Worked for me

Print a file in ABS that is large across more of the whole bed and then let us know if it completely sticks to the surface.
This was suggested earlier by a channel member, as well. He sent a file that had given him trouble in ABS on a different printer & bed. Here's the result: ruclips.net/video/GLOtRv_XEVQ/видео.html
It completely stuck to it. I'm having to return it hopefully. waiting for support.
I love the @-@ lol, where can I find that?

Assuming it works with all kinds of PLA? Plus, silk, matte, and polyterra are the main ones I use.
If you’re recommending it, it must be good. 👍

Did you get an update? Abs is practically fused to this plate when I print. It's nice that it doesn't warp but I can barely get the damn things off.

Print some Petg and show us the plate afterwards.
Got a particular model you want me to print?
Cylindrical shell with an inner brim. In Petg-cf.

Website says TPU can be printed, just not variants. "Use: Your prints in PLA, TPU, ABS, PETG ... " right there on their site.
Interestingly, the X1/P1/A1 plate is the *_only_* one of the four to include TPU. The other three plate sizes - A1 mini, Creality K1, and K1 Max, specifically say DO NOT use TPU.
I have one and I don't like that it cannot be properly cleaned and leaves an imprint of each print you complete baked into the plate

Do you still select the regular Bambu Textured plate in Bambu/Orca slicer?
Yes, that's correct.

Almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It's gettin' kinda long
I coulda said it wasn't in my way
But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
Yes, I feel like I owe it to someone
Must be because I had a flu for Christmas
And I'm not feeling up to par
It increases my paranoia
Like looking at my mirror and seeing a police car
One minute into this Video and i already dont want this product. the DON'Ts are way too much for a plate :D
Cut your hair please.
I would prefer not to. 😊
