1. Bambu Cool Plate
Please note that other slicer settings might need to be adjusted based on the printed model and the filament requirements
Material | Heatbed Temperature | Glue Stick Required? | Upper Glass Cover Plate Removed? |
PLA/PLA-CF/PLA-GF | 35~45℃ | Yes | Either |
TPU | 30~35℃ | Yes | Either |
PVA | 35~45℃ | Yes | Either |
Benefits
Works best with low glass transition temperature filaments as it can be used at a low temperature for the heatbed
Works well with the Automatic Calibration for Flow rate and does not interfere with the LIDAR
Smooth texture on the surface of the print
Excellent adhesion and easy print removal
Can be replaced by the user
Downsides
Cannot be used without glue stick as the surface can be easily damaged if glue stick is not used
It is not recommended for high-temperature materials as bubbles can form underneath the print surface and cause damage
Can be more fragile compared to the Engineering Plate or Textured PEI Plate

- Variations in the color and luster of the Engineering Plate appearance and the removal of the exposed metal areas are just minor adjustments to optimize the production process and surface quality. If the coating remains on the nozzle when the nozzle is wiped, it will be heated and melted before printing the model. Such changes do not affect leveling, Lidar, adhesion, or range of use. You can purchase with confidence!
- Before auto-leveling, it is 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 special-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.
- Bambu Lab recommends only using Bambu Lab official glue on the Cool Plate, and can not be held responsible for any damage caused to plates as a result of using third-party glue on build plates.
- Regularly clean the print surface with dish soap and hot water to eliminate any dust or grease residue, which might cause bad adhesion. IPA can also work, but the best solution to clean the plate is washing it, to ensure the best performance.
- 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.
- The Bambu Cool 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.
