BAMBU BUILD PLATE

EXCELLENT ADHESION & EASY PRINT REMOVAL

Bambu Lab offers a variety of build plates that specialize in succeeding with multiple 3D printing filaments on your Bambu Lab 3D printer for a superior additive manufacturing experience.

Key Features of the Bambu Lab Build Plate:

  • Variety of options available
  • Easy print removal with flexible plate
  • Delivers excellent adhesion
  • Enhanced first-layer appearance
    • Smooth matte w/ Smooth Plate
    • Rugged texture w/ Textured Plate

SMOOTH PEI

Bambu Smooth PEI Plate results

HIGH Z-Axis Precision Printing

The refined texture of smooth PEI beds contributes to superior Z-axis precision during printing operations, yielding more consistent and accurate vertical dimensions.

 

Smooth PEI First layer

Smooth and Matte Surface Finish

Enhance your print's overall appearance with this specially selected matte PEI sheet that imparts a smooth and matte texture to the bottom surface of the printed object.

TEXTURED PEI

Achieve excellent adhesion on your Bambu Lab 3D printer with the texture plate

Excellent First-layer Adhesion and Durability

Adhesion between the prints and the plate on the Bambu Texture PEI Plate is excellent, eliminating the need for adhesives for most situations. Additionally, powder coating provides an enhanced layer of durability that sheets can't.

 

Prints pop right off once you leave them to cool after printing on the Bambu Lab 3D printer

Self-Release on Cool Down

PEI withstands the repeated heating and cooling cycles of a printer heatbed, making it a go-to staple for 3D printing applications. Prints come off easily when the temperature of the heatbed reaches room temperature (≤35°C). If the print still adheres to the plate, give the plate a bend and the model pops right off.

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

Can't decide between first-layer textures? Enjoy printing in all sorts of materials? Pick up the Bambu Dual-Texture PEI to get the best of both surfaces.

  • Smooth
    • Print PLA with minimal prep
    • Enjoy smooth, matte first layer
  • Textured
    • Print other materials with no additional adhesive (for most materials)
    • Enjoy rugged texture first layer

1 The upper glass cover plate needs to be removed for filaments with a low glass transition temperature such as PLA, TPU, and PVA.
2 Repeatedly rub the nozzle in the special wiping area of the build plate to completely remove any residual material at the tip of the nozzle. This ensures residuals on the nozzle do not decrease accuracy during calibration.

What are the Recommended Settings?

Note that other slicer settings might need to be adjusted based on the printed model and the filament requirements.

Notes

SMOOTH SURFACE

  • If bubbles appear on the bottom of the sheet, heat it on the heatbed at a temperature of no less than 80°C for several hours to help eliminate the bubbles.
  • Smooth PEI Plate only (does not apply to Dual-Texture Plate)
    • On the Bambu Lab A1, there is a higher risk of the plate curling from the corners or printed models detaching from the plate. This is caused by the thicker Smooth PEI applied to both sides of the plate, which will increase the distance from the bed magnets and lower the magnetic attraction.

TEXTURED SURFACE

  • Increasing heatbed temperature enhances adhesion. Adjust the temperature of the heatbed based on your specific requirements to achieve the most suitable level of adhesion.
  • Before auto-leveling, it's necessary to repeatedly rub the nozzle in the special wiping area of the build plate to completely remove any residual material at the tip of the nozzle. The coating in the specially designed wiping area will gradually become worn over time. This is normal and does not affect print quality or nozzle lifetime, so there is no need to worry about any quality issues.
  • The latest firmware brings significant improvements to the Bambu Textured PEI Plate calibration using the Micro Lidar, and it is now fully compatible with the automatic calibration process.

BOTH SURFACES

  • Dust and grease decrease adhesion on the build plate. Regularly clean the surface with detergent and water to maintain the best adhesion.
  • Do NOT clean the PEI build plates with Acetone. It will damage the PEI surface.
  • 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 due to using third-party glue on build plates.
  • Carefully sanding the surface with fine-grit (600) sandpaper can help restore adhesion.
  • 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.
  • Bambu Lab build plates are considered a consumable part, which will degrade over time. The warranty only covers manufacturing defects, not cosmetic damage like scratches, dents, or cracks. Defective sheets upon arrival are the only instances covered by the warranty.
