RE: The Cryogrip Pro Glacier plate is an excellent cheaper alternative to the Satin plate with one minor caveat on the Core One
I would love to get the 5 plate set for a Core One.
Collect 'em all! 😊
Besides the collectors' interest, is there any reason for the multiple colors? Aren't they all identical in their properties?

Print a dark color on light plate and vice versa can improve video and photo quality.

But they are all pretty light pastel colors.

I received mine from Amazon, unpacked it, looked at it, and threw it in the C1 printer without even cleaning it! Worked great on PETG 1st time. Have printed 5 other models on it using some low-cost PETG, and they printed fine. And when it cools off, they come right off!
Thanks for the discovery and recommendation!

There are other colors coming from multiple companies.

RE:
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.
I looked up this post to concur with this. I mostly can get PETG to stick, but it's far more challenging than just the normal Satin sheet, even when running on the upper recommended temperature for PETG on the Frostbite plate. Supports in particular have a real hard time sticking to the print sheet.
There is just a 10-15°C difference between the Frostbite and Satin sheet at that point, so it seems like a no brainer to just use the satin sheet for more reliability.
The reason I got the Frostbite in the first place was to be able to print PHA without glue stick, and for that use case the Frostbite has been performing well so far. I'm a bit concerned about wear though, since some marks don't come off the print sheet. For example, I can see a dot pattern on the entire plate where the printer has been homing against the sheet. I don't know if this affects the homing accuracy or not (that the print sheet gets slightly deformed where it's been homing), I guess I'll need more experience with the print sheet to find out.

Which bed temps are you guys running with these 'cool sheets'?
RE: The Cryogrip Pro Glacier plate is an excellent cheaper alternative to the Satin plate with one minor caveat on the Core One
Frankly, I just used the default ones with the Core One profiles and it was fine. On the Bambu H2D I would run the automatic calibration for each filament type and they were always fine as well. (However, I found in the BL case the just selecting the Smooth PEI/High Temp plate profile worked fine without calibration.)
There were two types of Core One Cryogrip plates when I got mine... and one of them was the textured plate, which was generally far more usable and I never needed glue for stuff like PLA and PETG. The newer plates seem to be smooth, and they are different.

I use the temp in the slicer with good success.

Yeah I just use stock temps now they work great.
I tried reducing temps when I first got the plates but that lead to adhesion issues.
RE: The Cryogrip Pro Glacier plate is an excellent cheaper alternative to the Satin plate with one minor caveat on the Core One
PETG @ 70°C bed temperature is working well for me with the Cryogrip Pro Glacier.
I wish there were a more obvious way in PrusaSlicer to leave notes in project files, to remind myself which sheet type a certain print is set up for. (And which specific filament was used, what post-processing if applicable, etc.) I know there is Print Settings > Notes, but you have to go and look for them. I would prefer a Notes field that shows up in the side panel on the right. As a workaround I currently place key information, especially details I need to remember before starting a print, in the file name; but that becomes overloaded.

OrcaSlicer has this. Hopefully it will make it's way into PrusaSlicer 3.0.

For PLA I'm running 40°C. It works for the few times I've tried it, but I haven't done any adhesion-demanding prints.
For PETG I'm running 70°C. It works 90% of the time, but 90% is too low for me so I don't think I'll be using PETG on the coolplate anymore. If I'm running stock temps I might as well use the Prusa Satin Sheet instead which has far higher reliability for me.

I use an external note-taking app for this, but if I were to want to keep it within the project file, I could leave a note in the print settings or filament settings profiles. As long as you don't save the profile, the note should be isolated to your specific project file.

Hi everybody,
Despite reading all the goods about this plate I have no luck with it for ASA... I originally bought it to reliably print this material.
My problem is that i still have warping, even though the chamber is at 55c, the model is not a super large and square thing and i print in structural profile. (no glue applied)
The adhesion is still questionnable. Someone would have some tips ?

Warping is going to happen on any plate with ASA without an adhesive layer. What temperature is the build plate at?
RE: The Cryogrip Pro Glacier plate is an excellent cheaper alternative to the Satin plate with one minor caveat on the Core One
Personally I use infused filaments whenever possible. Really does help with warping.
Obviously you've got to get the basics nailed down first, part geometry, clean plate, etc...then with infused filaments I very rarely even need adhesive.
Cant emphasise part geometry enough, if a part isn't designed to alleviate warping then it can be a tricky problem to solve.
RE: The Cryogrip Pro Glacier plate is an excellent cheaper alternative to the Satin plate with one minor caveat on the Core One
Thats something that start to come in my mind aswell... ASA will still be ASA.
The temperature was set to 115c according to the filament manufacturer (Bambulab ASA)
But for other materials, the plate seams really good ! First layers are incredible on both PLA and PETG
I might as well find a replacement for that damn ASA. I need something somewhat UV resistant.

There are some forumalations of PCTG that are moderately UV resistant. It's as easy to print as PETG.

Would you have a reliable pointer for this (tips to alleviate warping), please?
