Precise fit: Designed specifically for Bambulab A1/P1P/P1S/X1/X1C/X1E series models, the bambulab printing plate 257 mm x 257 mm size ensures a perfect fit with the printer platform, and seamless docking can be achieved without additional adjustments.
New process: Etching is done on spring steel plates, and the two-sided different shapes are full of technology and granularity. The new sci-fi style is creatively upgraded on the basis of PEI, and the original QR code automatic leveling is retained, giving players a variety of choices.
Innovative double-sided texture: Honeycomb surface: The unique honeycomb structure design is not only beautiful, but also can significantly improve the adhesion of the build plate surface, effectively preventing the print from shifting or warping during the printing process, while promoting uniform heat distribution and improving printing quality. Multi-sided square surface: The other side adopts a multi-sided prism design, providing different adhesion properties, suitable for a variety of printing materials, meeting different printing needs, and increasing printing flexibility and diversity.
Excellent high temperature resistance: Made of high-quality materials, it can withstand long-term work in high temperature environments, ensuring that the build plate remains stable, non-deformed, and non-damaged when printing high-temperature materials such as ABS/PLA/PETG/TPU/ASA.
Easy to clean and maintain: the surface design is easy to clean, and the residual materials after printing can be easily removed without leaving traces, extending the service life of the build plate. At the same time, the maintenance is simple, reducing the maintenance cost and time of the player.

QR Code for Bed Detection:The plate is printed with a QR code to help the Xi series printer recognize and level better.And It does not affect the printing of Pi seriesand A1.
Parameter Suggestion: After leveling the platform, adjust the distance between the nozzle and the first layer of the hot bed to 0.1~0.2mm. It is recommended that the first layer of the model slice be set to 0.2 mm. First layer speed is recommended 10~50 mm/s. Print ABS, PETG class close blowing fan at first 3 floors. Close the blowing fan at the first floor when you print PLA. Depending on the recommended parameters for your consumables, it is recommended that the nozzle temperature of the first layer be 10 °C higher than that of the other layers.
Newly upgraded etching technology: this bambulab filament is designed specifically for Bambu Lab 3D printers. It features unique textures on both sides, with a snowflake pattern on one side and a Vortex pattern on the other side. The surface texture of the Bambu build palte is unique and aesthetically pleasing, enhancing the overall texture. Its surface material is upgraded PEI, with strong adhesion. Compared to traditional holographic build plates, it has a longer service life and no worries of film detachment, making your 3D printing experience more stable and reliable.
Made of 0.5mm thick spring steel plate:Using 0.5mm thick and 580HV hardness high magnetic spring steel plate as support, it has strong magnetic retention force, which can physically limit your printing and prevent warping. No longer worry about lifting the edges of the bambu lab build plate during large-scale printing. It has good flatness and elasticity, and even after multiple bends, it will not easily deform. Users only need to wait for the model to cool down before easily removing it, without the need for other tools, greatly simplifying post-processing work.
High temperature resistance: the snowflake build plate for bambu lab 3D printer can withstand high temperatures up to 200 °C. By selecting "Textured PEI Plate" in the slicing software and cleaning the bambu lab build plate before each use, excellent adhesion can be achieved. We recommend different filaments and their corresponding suggested temperatures for users: TPU: 30-35°C; PLA: 4. 0-65°CPETG: 50-80°C; ABS 80-120°C; ASA: 80-120°C. Users can adjust according to their actual printing needs.
Attention and How to clean: Our double-sided textured build plate is suitable for 3D printers with a platform size of 257x257mm and is compatible with Bambu Lab X1C/X1/X1E/P1P/P1S/A1. Please confirm your printer type before purchasing. It is particularly important to note:Do not use "acidic, alkaline"cleaners to wash (such as soap, washing powder, washing liquid, dish soap, etc.), scrub with alcohol only before and after long-term use. Dry after scrubbing.
