How can I fix my prints

I’m running an H2D and H2C and seeing the same behavior on both machines. I’m using the BIQU Cryogrip Pro Glacier plate for a smoother bottom finish, but in Bambu Studio I have it selected as the PEI plate. I’m wondering if the plate thickness difference could be affecting first‑layer pressure, even with the auto bed leveling routine.

The face printed against the plate shows areas where the extrusion lines aren’t fully squished together, so the surface isn’t as uniform as I’d like. I’ve attached photos — any insight would be really helpful.

Hi Dulphy,

I ended up reading the store page for the BIQU plate and there are temperature differences between the smooth PEI plate and the BIQU plate, you may see improvements if you dial that bed temp in.

However, I noticed one of the pictures on the BIQU site for that plate showing the same pattern you’re see in your prints, see that image below. So it’s possible this is a normal pattern with this BIQU plate, it does seem more prominent on your print, it might require some tweaking on your prints for it to show this pattern a little less.

Thanks for finding that info, I changed the plate to smooth plate in Bambu Studio and started a new print, lets see what the outcome is.

Did you make any changes to the plate temp settings to match the BIQU plate specifics?

Printing petg @ 70c right now, the range is 60 - 75c I believe.

PETG is 55C-75C for the Pro Glacier, I honestly don’t know if plate temp is that picky or important, but it’s worth ruling it out.

Thanks for all the responses, I think my issue is solved. Here is what I did

Used Smooth PEI plate in Bambu Studio to represent my BIQU cryogrip pro glacier as suggested above, thank you for that.

I changed the flow ratio on generic PETG from .95 to 1.0. This is a change by editing the filament.

I changed the initial layer (layer I was trying to fix) from .5mm to .54mm

I’ve printed two parts and they look great. I’ll report back to this thread if I run into any issues with my settings above.

Fantastic! Do you mind posting a picture of how the prints look now so we can compare with the original post? No biggie if not. Thanks!
