Just checking, as my search is not showing much. I received my H2C this week and so far, I love it.
But are the only build plates available the textured PEI (my least favourite plate on any printer) and the engineering plate (always have adhesion issues with this plate, don’t like using glue on any plate if I can, glue wrecked my X1C one)?
No cool plate, or anything else available?
Thanks in advance.
There is a new Supertack Pro plate for all Bambu printers on their store. Designed for good adhesion without glue.
Ahh, my search was rubbish, found it now, but out of stock 
I didn’t know Bambu doesn’t make a smooth build plate for the H2C yet. I went to the store selected accessories, H series, then build plates. I ordered the smooth PEI build plate for H2D /H2S. I didn’t notice that H2C wasn’t listed. It arrived today. I opened it up, peeled off the protective sheets and proceeded to place it inside. That’s when I found out it didn’t fit..
. I contacted Bambu support and that’s when they told me that they didn’t release one yet…
They should have put a Note saying does not fit the H2C…Seeing if they will let me return it.
The BIQU Cryogrip Glacier for a general purpose build plate and a G10 Garolite (Holman Enterprises) plate for materials printed with a >290° nozzle temperature. The only two plates I use on both of my printers.
So you bought a plate that literally states it’s for the H2D and H2S and you are angry it doesn’t fit your H2C?
Cheap PLA No Glue, also used Tinmorry ASA without glue. Just let it cool and it slides off.
It’s not shiny smooth though! There is a very slight texture but it’s not really noticeable, unlike printing on glue.
I did try glue (from Amazon) but I don’t seem to need it
Printing cheap PLA
ASA printed on glue
ASA printed direct on engineering sheet
Is the BIQU Glacier plate a smooth plate?
No it’s not like the smooth plate exactly - still a fine structure, but far from the structured PEI.
No, but you can print a lot more than just PLA/PETG on it. You can use ABS,ASA,PC,PA,TPU etc. Another major advantage is you don’t need to clean it. It’s immune to fingerprints
Essentially, this is an engineering plate, a complete analogue. Although ABS and nylon can be printed on it, it’s important to keep in mind that these materials leave “imprints” on the plate in the form of micro-damage to the surface.
Ok thanks for the info. 
It’s not the same as the engineering plate. For example, it’s incompatible with filaments that print above 300° since they can bond with the surface. Also, unlike the Engineering plate, you do not need an adhesive separation layer for most filaments.
On my H2D and Core One I only use 2 plates now: CryoGrip for most materials and G10 for high temp materials. I own the engineering plate but find it just gets in the way. Especially since an adhesive layer is required and not an option.
You’re wrong, you can print on Glacier plate at temperatures over 300 degrees, see the table on the manufacturer’s website.

Also, will add that I printed PPS-CF on a Glacier at 330°, it bonded with the sheet and the sheet coating didn’t survive me removing the part. Fortunately I can get these sheets same day on Amazon. Contacted BIQU about this and they emailed me back that I should have paid attention to their specs (in a nice manner).
If you have a need to print high temp filaments, the best surface in my opinion is Garolite G10
Bambu Cool Plate SuperTack Pro is replacing the PEI smooth plate across all printer platforms. It does the same thing.
Since I already spent the money for the smooth plate for the H2D and can’t use it or returning it I’m going to over lay the measurement from my H2C textured plate on to the smooth plate. Then going to use a metal shear to cut the smooth plate to size 
.
You absolute right. I use the Glacier plate without any problems with PETG,PLA,ASA,ABS,ABS-CF and many more
