Bambu Engineering Plate

Smooth & Natural Surface Finish

The smooth base coating can impart a smooth & flat texture to the bottom surface of the printed object, better blend-in with other surfaces.

Considerations

1. 1. Before printing with any filament, it is recommended to apply glue on the Engineering Plate. Applying solid glue can make part removal easier, but since solid glue has a certain thickness and is difficult to apply evenly, the printing stability and first-layer quality are usually not as good as when using liquid glue. On the other hand, liquid glue may make part removal more difficult. You should choose the appropriate glue type based on the filament, printing environment, and other practical conditions. For more details, please refer to the official wiki: Bambu Lab Wiki.
2. 2. When using a scraper to remove prints, make sure to use the correct technique. If the model adheres too tightly to the build plate, apply alcohol to the interface between the model and the plate to reduce adhesion and make removal easier. This helps prevent damage to the model, the build plate, or potential injury to the user caused by excessive force.
3. 3. Increasing heatbed temperature enhances adhesion. Users need to adjust the temperature of the heatbed based on their specific requirements in order to achieve the most suitable level of adhesion.
4. 4. For X1 series, P1 series, and A1 printers, before auto-leveling, it is necessary to repeatedly rub the nozzle in the wiping area of the build plate to thoroughly remove any residual material at the tip of the nozzle. The coating in the wiping area will gradually wear over time, which is normal and does not affect print quality or nozzle lifespan, so there is no need to worry about quality issues.
5. 5. Dust and grease deposits on the build plate can reduce adhesion. It is recommended to regularly clean the build plate with warm water and dish soap to maintain optimal adhesion. Do not use other unapproved cleaning agents.
6. 6. Bambu Lab recommends only using Bambu Lab official glue on the Bambu Lab build plates, and can not be held responsible for any damage caused to plates as a result of using third-party glue on build plates. Do not clean the Engineering Plate with Acetone, as it will damage the Engineering Plate surface.
7. 7. Always wait for a few minutes before removing printed models to allow the plate to cool down for easy print removal. This prevents damage to the plate and ensures a long lifetime of the product.
8. 8. The latest firmware brings significant improvements to the Bambu Engineering Plate calibration using the Micro Lidar, and it is now fully compatible with the automatic calibration process.
9. 9. The Engineering Plate plate is considered a consumable part, which will degrade over time. The warranty will only cover manufacturing defects, not cosmetic damage like scratches, dents, or cracks. Defective sheets upon arrival are the only ones covered by the warranty.
