I got one last week and it’s good, real good. But like too good? So I’ll never have to worry about bed adhesion, which is not a problem very often but is the most common problem on the stock textured PEI plate that the printer comes with. But with the cool plate I definitely don’t have to worry about it. Conversely, I have to worry about getting my prints off the bed without damaging them.

I think what I’m learning is that some prints are more appropriate for one plate and others are better for the other.

    With the super tack cool plate Bambu recommends removing the print while warm. Don’t wait for the bed and part to cool. And DON’T wipe with IPA. Soap and water only when needed.

    I bought one when they were on sale just before Christmas. It’s not a plate I intend to use a lot. Any part that has a good flat base isn’t meant to be printed on the super tack plate. Only those designs sketchy bed adhesion at best and can’t be printed with supports.

    I did use it to print a storage sheath for a fillet knife I have. I was very impressed that I was able to print a rectangular hollow tube with 2mm wide base and 165mm tall vertically with no supports or brim. It was a fine test of my skills as a designer, printer calibration, and the super tack.
