H2D other Build Plates

Mine says June 10th-19th. Every time I’ve ordered from them it takes right about a week till it gets to my doorstep.

The Darkmoon hasn’t been been announced yet and the frostbite will have the same shipping lead time when it’s finally released.

I do plan on getting the Darkmoon ice when it drops, but I’m not waiting till then when all we know is TBD lol.

Mine just got updated and says June 11th-20th. It is now moving through China.

Mine has made it to the origin sorting centre, with an estimated delivery of 8 June to 19 July so I think I might be late to the party. :rofl:

…for that I hope yours is extra Purple. hahahah j/k

So you guys are going to make me order one of those ugly purple plates because I can’t keep waiting for the Supertac, Darkmoon, Frostbite lol there’s a whole group of people here ordering this thing.

This thing has a crazy grip. Sadly that there’s no translation for this video, but bear with it:

They have a wild fan community lmao.

In short, it’s the newest and probably the best version of the PLU plates.

Lots of pros:

  1. crazy adhesion at 35C bed temp for PLA, 45C bed temp for PETG
  2. good lifespan
  3. high temp filament compatible, but would depend on actual filaments.

2 cons:

  1. not suitable for TPU, Nylon and some ABS (with TPU additives) because it would stick too well.
  2. It’s not a matte smooth plate, and the steel plate is only 0.5mm thick so it might be lifted if no clips were applied.

Which is why I also get another PLU plate just for the smoother finish and ABS/nylon compatibility

The adheasion looks amazing. It’s a bummer that it’s not matte smooth and .5mm seems really thin. I enjoyed watching the guy hammer the plate and put dents in it. That was my favorite part. :joy:

Reporting back with FYSETC CryoNix plate, it’s GREAT.
Don’t take it as a cool plate. Take it as a great matte plate that works with all filaments similar to smooth pei.

While you indeed can reduce the heatbed temperature with it, I don’t have enough time to thoroughly test its limit, but from the experience I had with Glacier plates I think this CryoNix is slightly better, and the final surface looks really good.

Also I printed the first layer test with Ludicrous mode and it turned out to be fine, so at least 160-180mm/s of first layer print speed is doable. This is HUGE for large parts.

Only downside: yes it needs to be clipped to your bed if you’re printing large parts that tend to warp a lot.

Well you guys convinced me to get the KDEAVI build plate as well (tossed in one for my A1 as well) even after I already received the FYSETC plate :sweat_smile: One can never have enough build plates, right?

Once you test, could you share your thoughts? Im debating getting one of them or waiting for supertack

If it’s like the other KDEAVI plates I have for my x1-c’s, it’s better than the supertack in terms of adhesion with PETG and PET. Pla has similar adhesion.

I never had any luck with the supertack to begin with, so that kind of soured my taste for them. PETG always warped up and even with pla I couldn’t get fine details like lettering on the first layer. The KDEAVI plates never failed me like the supertack did.

Wow, that’s a very good sales pitch. But I’m surprised super tack failed you. For me it was the contrary, it jsut annoyed the ■■■■ of out me given how hard it was to remove things (had to design a new scraper to address it)

Yea maybe I just got a bad one, idk. I’ve had one successful print on it out of the 10 or so times I tried using it. I would literally give it away if someone asked for it lol.

I got a got a great Supertac the first time it came out. Then I ordered another and it didn’t work as well at all. Then I talked to a guy on Reddit who heats his bed to 70 and 80 for pla on the textured pei plate and he was like “crank the temp to 60-70 and see what happens” and boom like magic the plate has never ever given me a single failure since. Not for poles as tiny as 6mm and big flat prints never warp.

Now instead of editing all my filament settings to 60 with the Supertac I just use the textured pei build plate setting with the Supertac and the adheasion is insane just like my first one.

I did a short print yesterday and adhesion was perfect, even at 30°C and with those fine and delicate lines. Was still hard to remove so had to be careful to not damage the print. Of course I don’t know yet how long this good adhesion will last, but with a regular clean I guess it’ll last a long time.

Thats exactly how I use mine with textured PEI settings. It helps to heat it and get a bit more squish. I do sometimes manually turn it down to 35-40c if its a very long print with a big surface area, but for difficult to print items with small contact area heating it is pretty much mandatory. :+1:

If I printed more with pla I might try that. But most of what I do is PETG and the bed temp is already at 70°c with the supertack. I’ll keep that in mind for the next time I use pla and decide to give the ST another try.

Wait, you already got yours?

The FYSETC plate, KDEAVI just shipped.

Ohhh. I’ve been using my fysetc a lot lately too. It’s definitely a nice plate. Works really good with nylon and liquid glue. I haven’t tried PETG without glue yet as I’m too lazy to wash it off lol.
