I've seen a lot of reviews with issues mentioning the adhesion issues on the carbon fiber texture side specifically. I was able to get it working for PLA, have not tried other filaments. After dialing in settings - playing with higher and lower bed temperatures, different inital layer height, speeds and acceleration - I was able to get perfect adhesion, and have the texture appear perfectly on the prints using the following on the bambu A1 with the 0.2mm standard preset:Build plate: Textured PEI (it doesn't work well with the smooth plate/high temp)Initial layer height: 0.1mmInitial layer speed: 20mm/sInitial layer acceleration: 100 mm/s^2For the bed temp:Initial layer bed temp: 65-70 degrees CPost initial layer: 55 degrees COther than that, the plate quality is great, no issues out of the box and it was packaged securely. Hope this helps anyone who may be struggling!

Quality and functionality are as expected. Since it is a smooth place there could be adhesion issues and they are sensitive to oils but with the corrct settings, filament and thorough cleaning it is magical

裏表別柄になっておりマグネット対応の機種であれば使える。初めてテクスチャ付きの出力物をだしたら思ったより綺麗でびっくり定着が若干悪くなるので温度を上げるなりして対応する必要があります。写真はankerの3Dプリンターでプレート80℃ノズル260℃/petg追記 少し初期レイヤーの高さを減らすと綺麗に出やすいです。きれいに出る所とクラックが入って模様が出ない場合はノズルの頭が、移動時に触れて剥がれてしまっている可能性があるので初期レイヤー付近の移動速度を落としたりベットの温度を上げると改善します

Purchased the double sided textured PEI plate. Bought this specifically to test out with TPU. Worked great! The plate is way more flexible and thin than the standard plate from BL. Good adhesion for TPU but lasts much longer before losing the coating and making small prints stick. I am printing 2”x1” parts and get 20ish on a single spot vs 5 with BL. Texture is smaller than BL but I would say more consistent in size. Bought 3 more for some production runs. Recently tested with PLA, no issue with adhesion or print quality.

If you’ve ever tried to print something and ended up with a messier result than a toddler with a finger painting kit, then this double-sided build plate is your new best friend. The IdeaFormer PET PEY Build Plate for the Bambu Lab P1S is like the superhero of 3D printing accessories—minus the cape, but with all the saving-the-day vibes.First off, the dual-sided magic of this plate is nothing short of miraculous. It’s like having two different flavors of ice cream—except in this case, it’s two sides of perfection for your prints. One side might be feeling extra sticky, and the other side is just chill. It’s versatile and adaptable, like the Swiss Army knife of build plates.Installation? Piece of cake. You don’t need a PhD in rocket science to get this baby up and running. It’s so straightforward that even your cat could probably figure it out (if only it could reach the printer). And the best part? No more wrestling with your prints to get them off. It’s like they just can’t wait to leap off the plate and into your hands.The adhesion is so reliable that it’s practically a commitment. Your prints stay put like a well-behaved puppy—no unexpected detours or slippages. I once tried to print a delicate piece that was more intricate than a spider’s web, and it came out flawless. My printer’s new BFF, for sure!In summary, if you’re tired of the build plate drama and want to experience printing nirvana, grab this build plate. It’s like having a trusted buddy who always shows up, never complains, and makes everything look great. Cheers to fewer headaches and more beautiful prints!

UPDATE: I tried the CF pattern side of the plate and PETG just does not stick to this not matter what is done. I did exactly as described and cleaned it with Iso Alcohol and a microfiber cloth before printing and not even the first line of the print sticks. Very disappointing. Maybe it works with LA. I don't know but PETG is definitely listed on this description as compatible and for me it just is not at all. If I am missing something I would love someone to tell me what I am doing wrong. So far this plate is basically useless.OrigginalI tried 3 times to make a PETG print on the stary side of this plate. First attempt. Brand new straight out of the box. Used the Smooth PEI/High Temp plate setting as recommended in the description. Peeled the protective film that came on the plate from the factory and was very careful not to touch the print surface with my fingers and the first layer failed horribly immediately and scrambled within the first 30 seconds of the print starting. I thought, ok it must need to be cleaned before use. I washed with dish soap and hot water like I do with my real Bambu PEI textured plate. Nope. Same fail. The first layer just pealed and scrambled. So I came on here and read some reviews that recommended cleaning with alcohol. I washed again and then sprayed with 99% iso alcohol and wiped with a new microfiber cloth and I slowed the first layer speeds down to half the standard speed settings in the bambu generic PETG profile. It made it a little farther into the first layer of the print, but it still failed terribly. The was on the side of the plate with the refractive starry pattern. I have not tried the Carbon Fiber pattern side yet. Maybe that will work better, it looks like it has a more agressive texture and maybe the PETG will hold to it better. But I bought this for the refractive pattern so its pretty much a fail for me. I have only tried PETG at this point. The project I had in mind to use this with needs the PETG so it is possible it might work better with PLA or some other materials. I will put this to the side and experiment when I have more time, but on my P1S combined with generic eSun PETG it is useless. I switched back to the stock Bambu textured PEI plate that came with the P1S and instantly printed a perfect part. So I know its not my printer or the filament.Disappointing. I gave it 2 stars because may there is use with other materials or on the other side of the plate. Otherwise for my use it was 1 star.

Plate works well with PETG on a P1S. No glue needed and so far all my prints have popped off very easily. I do have 1 complaint though. My nozzle hits the back tab pretty hard and knocked the paint right off during bed leveling on my 2nd print. I looked at my Bambu lab engineering plate and it hits it pretty hard too but it is noticeably thicker and the coating is better. Other than that it works pretty good.

Bought this to try out as a less expensive extra build plate for my P1S. The adhesion does not seem to be as good as the Bambu made ones, unfortunately - tried PLA and PETG.

Bambu lab A1純正PEIプレートだと底面の食いつきが良すぎて剥離するのが大変なのと造形物底面を毎度ライターで処理するのが手間なためテクスチャードプレートにしようと思い購入。結果から言うとPETGとの相性が悪く絶望的に定着しません、PETGに最適という文言を鵜呑みにしてしまいました。プレート温度100℃、ノズル温度240℃でなんとか着くか？という感じですがその後の積層で糸引きが気になるため仕様を断念。他の材質は使用していないため結果が良ければ再評価します。

I have been using this plate for about 8 months. Both sides have good adhesion. I like the gold textured side for most things and the smooth carbon fiber side gives a nice carbon effect to things that gives it a quality appearance. I'm very happy with it and will buy the same one if this one ever gets worn out.

EDIT May 2024:Seller reached out to me and offered a replacement. I agreed and it came within a few days. The replacement works very well. MUST be kept grease and dust-free, like cleaned every use. Also have to slow the first later right down to like 25. 210 hotend and 55 bed seems to be the sweet spot for me. Using Bambu Lab P1S with AMS.The finish is quite lovely, just remember to keep the surface as clean as can be. Seller's response alone is worth me bumping up the star rating. It's good to have a seller stand by their product. The first one must have been a bad production run or something.Terrific idea, and I wish it worked, but it just doesn't. I've done everything the instructions say but can't get anything to stick - using a Bambu Lab P1S with Bambu Lab PLA. I've been 3D printing for 6 years so I don't think it's newbie error.

Very pleased with this bed plate works very well on my X1.Only slight thing the printer does not recognise the plate but a minor thing for excellent prints.
