That is incorrect, it depends on the batch apparently, as I have one that works perfectly and two that do not

Iāve gotten two supertack plates. The first one worked the first couple of times great. Then after that it sucked the big one. On a hunch I ordered a second one a few months later and it has worked fantastic so far.
Bottom line is I think there might be some manufacturing inconsistencies going on that BL might want to look into.
have any of you tried sanding it with 180-300 grit sandpaper? That seems to help with the bad ones. Or at least it did for me. But you shouldnt have to do that with a brand new plate regardless
Same , supertack plate for a1 , nothing sticks to it, total waste of money, avoid

I was having major issues with bed adhesion on the supertack but I was able to fix it with 1 change. I started selecting smooth PEI plate in the slicer. Now the adhesion is great.

āSupertackā - my Aā¦ I will not call it a complete failure, but iām sorely disapointed
I wanted a smooth plate, and if the print sticks to it it would be nice. Well it doesnāt not well at least. Look at these two bananas
The BIQU Glacier does what I want, and itās cheaper, but it still p_s me off buying a premium OEM plate and it does not work as advertised.
By the way, if anyone want the ArUco code so the printer can actually read it, you can find them here

Try setting the plate type to smooth PEI instead.
Cheers.
So it will be running hotter you mean?
I considered that, but wanted to test the glacier first and that worked fine.
Still, having to use a workaround for a straightforward job shouldnāt be necessary

that just works because it bumps up the temperatureā¦ it is supposed to be a cooler plate, itās one of the key features advertisedā¦
it also definitely does not make it supertack, it just makes it a regular plate, nothing like the early supertack plates, that really where super adhesive

@h3li0, Thatās not why I suggested it. When I set the plate type to supertack it prints almost above the build plate and it doesnāt get pressed into the build plate at all. When I set it to textured or smooth PEI, the Z offset seems to be decreased because it always gets pressed into the build plate on the first layer.
so youāre putting the temperature to 45 after changing the build plate to smooth PEI?
you can thumbs down, but i have 3 supertack plates, and 1 has great adhesion, and 2 suck, and i use the same settings with the 3 of them, so itās not changing plate type that does anythingā¦
@BambuBanker
that explains the first couple of failures I had, thank you for that information.
So the print profile for the supertack plate is pretty much rubbish then - on top of the plate being rubbish

Itās weird, I got one and it was great out of the box, so great that I scratched it up trying to get stuff off of it! 
So I ordered another, and the second one has terrible adhesion. I tried washing it and everything, so maybe some of them are just defective? Not sure how else to explain it.
Maybe youāre right but I donāt think so since the parts still adhere to the bed even 12h after a print had finished and itās room temp. I will change the temp to 45 on my next print and update.
4 MONTHS after release they update the firmware so you can use it. 
they threw stuff at the wall but nothing sticks 
Hello everyone, I bought 3 supertack plates that arrived yesterday (2 mini, 1 p1s) and like many here I was having issues getting anything to stick to the plates. I tried all of the methods that have been listed online, and nothing seemed to make a difference. Even when one side of the print would stick, the other side would warp. I was just going to try and get a refund for them, but I thought I would try one more thingā¦using an abrasive on the surface.
I grabbed one of the maroon abrasive pads that came with another PEX plate I own and I lightly used it on one side of all 3 plates. Then I washed the plates again (4th time) with soap and hot water. I then let them air dry. The plates all work perfectly now, no warping, no print failures. Honestly a really awesome plate.
Out of curiosity I flipped one of the plates to the side that I didnāt use an abrasive on, and again, my print detached half way through, so I am pretty certain the use of an abrasive was responsible for the improvement.
I am starting to think that part of the reason people see improvements after washing their plates is because they are using abrasive sponges. People not using abrasive sponges could also explain why some people do not see an improvement after washing.
I do not know why using the abrasive worked, I just know it worked. I am thinking that maybe the top layer of the material degrades over time, idk, not a material scientist. Hopefully this helps someone though.

Exactly the same experience as me. However mine is the old one doesnāt work, the new one just works.
I thought it was just me. This plate is the only plate I have that I have a trouble with failures due to not sticking.
