Damn!
Not sure what happened. I cleaned my build plate and applied a small amount of liquid glue to the plate. stuck it on the printer and printed some ASA. Well, needless to say, the print didn’t lift off the plate, but it took part of it with it when it was done.
Anyone know why this would have ripped the coating off of the build plate?
Clean plate
Waited for the plate to cool before removing.
The liquid glue was bambu made for PETG, ABS, and PLA. I figured it would be safe for ASA.
Im assuming thats just the brim?
The Bambu liquid glue sucks. I recommend the Vision miner NPA.
A little bit of ipa and some scrapping will get it off. Just let the ipa soak in for a few minutes.
Maybe I am blind, but I dont see where the coating is ripped off.
Nice foot btw.
I wish it was only the brim. quit a bit is on the bottom of the print. this is not going to be seen so that isn’t the issue. The bald spots on this plate is what makes me angry. This hole part of it is now ruined.
I just bought tons of this glue, I thought it would be good for these printers. apparently not.
Yeah, that shows better. You definitely ripped some of the coating off. The plate is probably still fine. Still have the other side.
Sadly, support wont warranty wear items like the plate. Its unfortunate, but it is what it is. I think the engineering plate is great, but the coating on it is VERY sticky.
I cant really say much more besides recommending the Vision Miner adhesive. The bambu stuff is really only good for 1 print, it leaves residue on the part, and you need to soak the plate.
Thanks, I have some vision minor nano adhesive, but I only use that when printing PC-FR and PA. I have never had an issue with ASA or ABS on texture plate. This has a very thick bottom and when I tried the first time one my texture plate and no glue, it warped like crazy. Figure I would go engineering with the liquid glue and I was right, not bed lift… LOL
I’ve never used glue. Shouldn’t that wash off with dish soap and warm water?
Dawn Power wash is what I have used, when I actually washed my plates. Mine have normally held my projects fine without glue.
This is the Engineering plate, which explicitly requires glue as a release agent.
The stock textured PEI us much more forgiving.
I use the Bambu liquid glue on every print with a textured PEI plate. My plates have lost their native stiction but the glues works wonders.
I also use it on the smooth PEI plate if I want a more smooth surface than stick glue.
I bet you’ll eventually use it but obviously depends on what you print.
No, it is stuck on pretty damn good.
that is what I thought. I used the liquid glue. It states on the bottle only for PLA, PETG, and ABS. this was ASA. Not sure if that is why. I do have the glue sticks, but I have never had any luck with them that is why I switched to the liquid glue.
My little tip: Next time, try popping the whole sheet - including the 3D print - into the freezer before peeling it off. It works wonders. About five minutes is usually enough. When I first started 3D printing, I also had a few sheets that tore, but ever since using this trick, it hasn’t happened again.
Of course, this doesn’t replace the other preparations, but it serves as an additional aid.
Never used glue but is it possible that for whatever reason the glue wasn’t on the spots that gave you problems? Maybe it was a little thick and didn’t spread evenly or it pulled back from some areas?
I don’t see this as a wear problem, I see this as your product broke my plate problem. Saying yeah Bambu’s liquid glue sucks and brushing it off is not really a solution. Companies should be responsible for their product, especially if it negatively their own product.
The Engineering plate I use 90% of the time, as for appearance sake only on items such as lids for boxes.
I normally get away with Nelly hair lacquer, have used it for many months. Just a light spray.
The parts come off after 10 mins of cooling on a cold slab, the lacquer washes washes off engineering plates with hot water and washing up soap, then I clean with 96% alcohol.
Store the plate in a sealed plastic bag if not in use.
The latest price for a new P2S engineering plate is €30, so I opt to use only one side off the plate for every print, at least then you have 2 bites of the cherry before a new purchase.
Doesn’t make it right. Just because it is a consumable does not mean it is exempt from damage due to someone else’s actions or defects that show up later.
In this case destroying it with a scraper, and tgats bambus fault?
I agree, I only had to use the scrapper to remove the brim that was left behind on the plate that just would not come off. The rest came off on the bottom of the print when I removed it. No scrapper was involved there. Not sure why it did that, just that it did.
