In case folks forgot, today is the day of the mystery releases.
Bambu Cool Plate Super Tack which I assume is for nylon.
TPU self-explanatory.
And just 7 more days until they release the build plate made of wood!
LOOOOOL
Put a laser on the toolhead and you might be on to something. 
I bought the build plate. I’m thinking it is Bambu Lab’s version of a garolite build plate based on the name.

I bought a couple also. Worth checking out.
Believe it or not someone’s already done the laser on a toolhead… wonder how many they sold?
I’ve taken a few cracks at trying to print nylon with zero success and came across what some people were advocating which was this stuff called garolite.
Bambu says for PETG/PLA but it sounds similar to the descriptions of garolite. Mainly when the bed heats up, it gets tacky. Cools down the tackiness goes away and releases the built project.

It’s given me trouble in the past too. I think I ended up using the engineering plate and the Bambu liquid glue… I normally don’t use glue but I think that’s what it took to stop it from warping off the plate. I’ve seen garolite mentioned on other 3d printing forums and discord but I’ve never used it myself. I saw people saying garolite was great for nylon but they were talking about printing with the bed between 90 and 110… these new plates are supposed to work at 45 degrees so I’m not sure if that’s what these are?
We have all been ranting about it for the whole day in a few posts. This is one.
Trouble with putting a laser on these type printers is the build plate is way too small based on the laser machines I’ve seen.
The do quite often use hobby sized cnc routers where they can remove the router and drop-in laser replacement.
Those cnc routers, if you have never priced one are $$$$$
It had an image of the plate AND the AMS compatible TPU because it popped in my head, “Hey, it’s the 12th”.
Checked and it showed plate so hauled over to the build plates, it was there, bought two.
On the assumption “Early bird gets the worm.” IE, they sell out instantly. May have come true?
They did in the U.K. and some other territories.
To me, I had it in the basket and when I went to pay, it was removed due to a lack of stock.
I’ll price gouge you a plate.

Not in the U.K. (as always).
They also only gave us 4 of the 7 colours for the new AMS friendly TPU.
Do you accept U.K. BL Gift Cards?
LOOL
I find myself now in a support mandated disassembly of my toolhead. 
It has decided to throw that bogus Toolhead Front Cover has Fallen Off error 
That was the precursor to getting a replacement machine. Print is completed but as part of the completion sequence it fails and throws that error.
In the U.K. the long-awaited new stock of the new Tacky build plates has been pushed back yet again.
They had so few on launch day that mine were ripped out of my basket as I tried to go to the checkout early on launch day.
I filled in the notification alert for new stock. This sent an email last week yet no new stock actually materialised.
It has said a different date for availability before settling on before December 3rd since the 12th of November.
I have checked every day.
Today is the 3rd December, I just checked again, and the date has been pushed back again to the 7th December.
Not only that, it falls outside the sale window.
I have sufficient gift cards for the four I tried to order at its launch left. Which is lucky as I have had 3 reviews in 10 days, one review began less than an hour after the previous one ended and the following one began just six hours later. Before this, I had only ever had one review.
The timing of the review policy changes which they took a whole week to communicate to us and still not clear as to why the innocent are being repeatedly snagged is suspiciously right at the end of the sale.
What issue do you think those plates will resolve or protect against?
I bought the two plates on a wrong guess as to their intended use.
When I put them in my cart it was in the hope they were some proprietary coating but generally similar to the Garolite plate. So facilitating easier bed adhesion with nylon. That was way wrong on my part.
They are out in US also. There’s also a flag in regards to X Series printers.
Due to ongoing optimization of the QR code recognition algorithm on the X1 model, we recommend disabling the build plate position detection."
When you handle them it feels like a heavy layer of silicone
One thing I have dodged so far is bed adhesion issues.
It prints and when it doesn’t print it is due to the toolhead faulting.
I think this was directed at me.
I can’t feel temperature due to the damage sustained decades ago when my brain suffered its first damage.
As such, the idea of turning on the heating in my house is annoying and wasteful. If it designed for my comfort and I do not suffer any discomfort, it seems illogical.
Thus, printing in the British winter becomes harder. Further worsened by the age of the house which was at a time where common sense about keeping heat in and cold out were nit in the design process.
Anything to aid grip during printing is welcomed rather than heating a house for the same goal.
I’ll gladly send you one or both mine.
So far I don’t feel like I gained anything by purchasing those plates. I was stupid to have bought them since they are only for PLA ant PETG.
There is an old cliche about making assumptions and my purchase was based on a bad assumption.

When I was ordering my ender3 S1 Pro, I also ordered their 10W laser module and its steel protective plate. I was very excited about it but my excitement turned into disappointment as soon as I opened its box. Then I realized it was too small for anything. S1 PRO is 235 x235. So as the laser protective shield plate but you have leave a lot of margin. So actual capacity was like 180x180. Yes with 10 W you can achieve all the things they promise Cut/ burn/ engrave; wood, thin sheets of metal, paper (I tried all) as long as they are napkin size. I could not even fit the small cutting board my wife prefers to use. It felt like I was trying to cut a lumber with a dremel.
I am seeing this for the first time now. But it is not a very good idea. Laser is too dangerous and one should take additional precautions. Giving the ability to send a laser cut order to a novice who might think it is same as 3d printing is calling for disaster.

I have no interest in, or desire for a laser engraver.
I would much rather have some sort of hobby sized CNC router.
Not sure how swappable a laser module works with a CNC router or how well a router module works on laser engraver.
