Hi everyone,
since the update prints are no longer sticking to the textured PEI print plate. How do I fix this problem, or is this an update issue for Bambu Labs?
I welcome any fixes and also how to apply the fixes.
Thank you!

A little more information is needed.
What printer?
What filament?
What update? Studio or printer firmware?
Have you checked to make sure the correct plate is selected in Studio?
Have you cleaned your build plate with dish soap and hot water?
Have you power cycled your printer?
Have you performed a factory reset (if the update is the printer firmware)

To add to Jon’s questions: Did you run a full calibration after whatever it is that you updated?

Second this. Bambu should just build a recalibrate and power cycle into updates to make it more user-friendly.

Hi there, more info is always good :-):
X1 carbon, generic PLA, Studio version: 1.9.5.51 / Printer firmware 01.08.02.00
Yes cleaned, power cycled and calibrated. Yes, i have done a factory reset as well.
I am doing the calibrating again. I seem to be able to print using the PLA cool plate.
will try cleaning the textured plate with iso alcohol. I am less than 12 prints using hte txtureed plate.
yes i did. this issue just recently started for me. still fairly new to 3d printing
Nope, no one suggested that. Clean your plate with dish soap and hot water. Without using enough IPA to actually flush oils off the plate you end up just smearing them around. Washing the plate with dish soap and hot water will lift and flush oils off of the plate.

Power cycle will not do much, if anything. Restore factory settings after an update is more effective, and I do that after every firmware update. Making it a requirement would probably generate many complaints about the forced printer calibration, re-entering wi-fi passwords, lost filament calibrations, etc.
Isopropyl is actually quite effective…
BUT!
… you need to use 99.9%, whereas most people just use 60, 70 or 91%. Even 91% Isopropyl has too much water in the mix, and as we all know water and oils do not mix at all. So all you do is smear the oils on the plate around, potentially making the bed adhesion even worse.
Using 99.9% Isopropyl actually works quite nicely, but due to the costs and difficulties of obtaining it, pretty much nobody ever uses it.
I thought I was going crazy, I was having problem after problem with different prints and tried just about everything, but the dish soap and hot water worked so well!
