Been testing the Cool Plate SuperTack with PETG and I have been having issues with bed adhesion, sometimes it’s ok and other times it is not. It’s driving me crazy and a friend is having the exact same issue.
PLA is sticking super good, like really good to the point I have to really flex to get prints off and the surface finish has been excellent. Impressed with the PLA performance but PETG has just been down right awful. Bambu has been basically plug and play until now, very disappointed with this print bed.
Tested on both my X1C and P1S and tried a range of different bed temps, same issue.
I made sure to do a search before posting and I came across this post but most people are having issues with PLA, I have no issues with PLA. Anyone else having issues with PETG? Thanks.
I am having similar issues with Bambu PETG (basic) as well. PLA is great on this plate but PETG is giving mixed results (no issues with same filament on the Textured PEI plate that came with my P1S).
I had high hopes for this build plate based on the description, and I would prefer to use the same plates on both my P1S’s so I don’t make the mistake of not selecting the correct build plate when printing. I don’t think there is a choice though, the Bambu Cool Plate SuperTack is not reliable for me with PETG at the moment.
I’m on the same boat. I think this plate is by far the best for PLA, but with PETG (using Bambu PETG Basic as well) the first layer just does not stick consistently.
If anyone from BambuLab reads this, I have followed the instructions on the Wiki and changed the printer config to avoid detecting the plate position.
Also, after a couple of prints a bit of coating chipped away while removing the print. No big deal since there are two sides, but that does not give me much confidence on the durability of this plate, since it happened within the first 5 prints…
Same issues here with PETG. I’ve tried cleaning/washing the plate before each print, but the adhesion of the first layer is very inconsistent. It seems that the advertising for this plate is misleading since it works very well with PLA but not with PETG.
I do have the exact same issues, seems to me, that the z-offset is set too high for the supertack plate. The flowcalibration is printed in mid-air for the most part and small (circular) parts wont stick at all. Several material-tests (Bambu, Poly, generic) and a few power-cycles later, issue still persists. No issues on the textured PEI plate. There are commands to lower the latter by 0.04mm before orinting, those or similar commands are not present in the Supertack G-code. I think that might be the issue?!
