mine is still on the way and ive purchased it yesterday
I believe there are two things wrong with their response p.
-
According to people on the forum p, the marker isn’t in the same location it is on all other plates, I haven’t been able to confirm this because the U.K. stock levels, (insert assumed rant).
-
It isn’t a QR code, it is an augmented Reality (AR) marker.
When did they think lying about such a simple thing made sense?
It’s not going well
I have two of the plates on my A1-Mini printers, and it is VERY hit and miss. The BambuLabs PETG blue is going down fine at the default settings which is good, but PolyLite PetG (my go-to) is a total nightmare.
I’ve tried every temp from 40 - 75 in 5 degree increments, and cannot get it to stick reliably to this build surface.
Perhaps it is by design to only be compatible with Bambu filament, to sell more filament.
/Sarcasm of course
It is great on the P1S with PLA and PETG no adhesion issues, I need them to come back in stock to get one for my A1, as it has a sliceworx knockoff from amazon that needs to be replaced anyways.
I don’t even know what’s going on in this thread, I’ve been so busy with other things. I’ve been having a nearly perfect experience with my plates, but finally hit a snag. The whole issue with the QR code not being picked up. It’s funny, it worked fine and well up until a point. I ended up having to disable the plate detection on both my X1Cs, and it’s been nice again since.
I guess they at least partly addressed that though, or acknowledged it. Still, disappointing. Well, mildly, haha. I want to keep the plate check on. I like that feature.
Welcome to the commoners P1S club
I ordered two SuperTack plates, one for my XC1 and the other for my P1S, and they arrived today. Having washed them, I installed them in the printers and tried printing small objects, which came out great. However, when I tried to print larger models, the underside of the prints started curling and came out warped. I’m using Esun PLA+, which I’ve used for a couple of years and not had any problems. Am I doing something wrong?
I’ve got the same issue on my X1C and P1S, did you ever resolve yours?
I printed a tall thin object with no problem (no brim). It is over 120mm tall with about 70mm2 contact with plate. Happy so far.
I’ve had zero issues with the SuperTack plates. Since I mostly print in PLA and PETG anyways, I thought this would be a good option. Adhesion is good, I would say too good. I’ve had to use pliers to remove some stubborn support that was left on the build plate. Apart from that, I’ve had zero print adhesion issues. Is it a “go-to” plate like Bambu claims it is? Maybe. It still has some kinks to resolve. I’ve heard a lot of complaints about PETG not sticking well to the plate, but I haven’t tested that out yet.
Sorry for the stupid question, but:
I release my prints from “normal” plates with a slight bend of the plate. Normally the print just pops of. Why is this not suitable for the SuperTack plate? Why is the recommendation on BL shop site to use a scraper?
you can bend and some parts will pop - after a lot more bending than on other plates, but if it’s small parts it just won’t come off, you need the scraper
I just wanted to edit my posting for the “tiny prints”, but you were faster Thanks.
Can anyone post images of the first layer surface with this plate? TIA.
I think I still prefer the Smooth PEI plate. I think it takes a little more maintenance than these new Supertack plate, but overall I like it’s performance better. Although I do really like the SuperTack plate too. it’s going to be my go-to for certain types of objects.
I’m not entirely sure I like it for super large full plate prints, or for super small stuff that doesn’t have much height.
For full plates, it’s just too much sticking power, haha. I have had a few things where getting it off the place felt a little dicey, like I might accidently damage the model if I wasn’t careful. On my media shelf model, it’s got this cross brace in the back. The model mostly releases fine, but that cross brace is super stuck, and the way it pulls it as I’m pulling the plate off. Ahh!
For small & short things, it’s just too much sticking power! It’s hard to get the model lifted, as you bend the plate it bends the model too.
In those cases, I like the smooth plate. If you wash it properly, it sticks really well, but is a lot easier to get off at the end of the printing journey.
I like this SuperTack plate for mediam-ish sized objects that have small footprints. Well, anything with some height to it would work well, too. Being able to have a smaller footprint without having to stick a brim on it though. Yes please.
i’m with you, i already had a large flat piece leaving the bottom layers there, it was a bit my fault as i just force pulled it out without “breaking it in”, but yeah it’s super strong, too strong sometimes
but i do like the finish, it’s pretty close to the smooth pei
Thank you, sir.
Did you change any settings related to the cooling? Or are you running just with the default settings?
