RE: The Cryogrip Pro Glacier plate is an excellent cheaper alternative to the Satin plate with one minor caveat on the Core One
Thanks for the profile, I will test it later.
Meanwhile, I changed the design and gave it a brim which gave me a successful print.
Cool! I assume because it's an L shaped part. Long straight bars will cause problems. Just check the sheet that it's not getting pulled off the bed when the part cools.

Thanks! I will try it.

RE: The Cryogrip Pro Glacier plate is an excellent cheaper alternative to the Satin plate with one minor caveat on the Core One
Hello. I just finished some printing tests on the Cryogrip Pro Glacier plate. The bed temperature was set to 45 °C for PLA. I’m wondering if I should also buy a Frostbite plate specifically for PLA and PETG, since those are the materials I use most often.
The Frostbite works only with PLA/PETG and won't work for other filaments. If you only print those then it's probably a better choice. I very rarely print PLA and print mostly PA and PC. However on the occasions I've printed PLA, it sticks OK to the Glacier.
Agreed, having forgotten it was on my Core One and printed TPU. Its probably NEVER coming off. Lesson learned! (Its in the freezer now to see if there's any chance, but to be fair its nearly 7 years since I ruined a build plate - on that occasion it was polymaker PC max on the standard Prusa powdered sheet having forgotten to add glue).
The Glacier is massively good as a general use plate - well worth it as an alternative go-to for a wide range of filaments.

One trick with TPU is to drip IPA around the edges of the print. It will wick underneath and will make it easier to peel off. I always use glue now with TPU no matter what I print it on.

I stand corrected - IPA helped remove. And the plate, amazingly, is still ok. Just remember which plate you have on your printer when printing TPU!

Picked up one Cryogrip Glacier from Amazon after reading the sale campaign here 🙂
Unfortunately I got quite disappointed, couldn't even get PETG to stick at all.
Nozzle cleaning procedure was almost a never ending story, it did twice as many cleaning attempts than usually.
During the bed leveling sequence it made these extra checks for every point, it's like these small grains are at different height.
Only done one try so far.
I have no problem with Prusa powder-coated spring steel sheet.

That's unexpected. The Glacier pate has worked like a charm for my PETG prints, much in contrast to Prusa's satin plate. At what temperature did you run the heat bed?
RE: The Cryogrip Pro Glacier plate is an excellent cheaper alternative to the Satin plate with one minor caveat on the Core One
70 C. Made no changes to any profile.
Satin works fine for me also.

Hmm, that's the same bed temperature I used. Worked well for me, for small parts (less than 1 cm² contact area but 5 cm tall) as well as for larger ones with some risk of warping (printed with a brim however). Since my printer resides in the cool basement, I made sure to let the chamber warm up before printing; I actually closed the vents except for narrow slits and never saw the chamber fans turn on.

Honestly best sheet I have by far...I took a gamble and got 3 dirt cheap from Aliexpress. Been using the same one solidly for every filament I own, and really pleased with it.
Great to think when it does show signs of wear or performance drops, I've got 2 more ready to go....so far the current one is showing no signs of wear or performance issues.

Thanks for creating this.
I've got a ts101 with lotsa inserts!! You are awesome, thank you!

I've seen comments from elsewhere that there counterfeits on the market. I guess that is the sincerest form of flattery when your product is deemed popular enough that it gets counterfeited. Especially for something that only retails at $29 USD.
If you bought it from Amazon then return it as defective. I own 3 sheets and everyone of them work well. The only problem I had with it was I damaged one when I used Nano Polymer Adhesive with ASA. The part welded itself to the sheet. But then that is user error and not an issue with the sheet. The only filaments that don't stick are PP and POM which is completely understandable.

This has not been my experience at all. The only times I've seen the bed leveling use additional points was when the nozzle was crusted with filament. Usually cleaning with a brass brush takes care of that. Also, the Glacier surface is not smooth but it's also not rough like a textured plate. Wondering if what you have is not a Glacier plate.

This is how it looked.
The surface feels a bit like very fine sandpaper.
After the first try I cleaned it again with hot water and washing up liquid but it behaved the same again.
Ill take a chance with the one you linked to earlier in the thread, Ill use this one to serve drinks on at the next party.

Interesting, My plate feels the same (like fine sandpaper). Maybe you just happened to get one with a manufacturing defect? Don't know how Amazon works in Europe but in the US they are very accommodating when it comes to returns and exchange.

Looked from where I'm ordered, it was from your link in this thread.Im puzzled.
I'll ship it back and ask for refund and reorder.

as an FYI, it seems that the plates have changed to some extent and that I’m finding they now make a smooth plate as opposed to a textured plate from before… And the ones I had the best use out of were their textured plates, which seemed to be a different generation or build than the current plates.

There are the Glacier and the Frostbite with the later specifically for PLA and PETG. I noticed that now they have a series of orange plates which I've been meaning to look into. I think they might be the same, just not teal.
RE: The Cryogrip Pro Glacier plate is an excellent cheaper alternative to the Satin plate with one minor caveat on the Core One
They now come in yellow and other colors.

I would love to get the 5 plate set for a Core One.
