What customers say
Customers consistently praise the D257A Build Plate Kit for its exceptional ease of use, particularly the reliable magnetic adhesion and effortless print removal. Users appreciate how prints stick firmly when heated but pop off cleanly once the plate cools, significantly streamlining the 3D printing workflow. The overall quality and flatness of the plate contribute to consistent first layer success, making this kit a strong value proposition for hobbyists seeking reliable performance without constant adjustments.
Know before you buy
This kit is designed for the Bambu Lab X1C, X1, X1E, P1P, P1S, and A1 models, which all utilize the standard 257x257mm build area.
The Diamond PEO side provides a unique, geometric textured finish to the bottom of your prints, while the Carbon Fiber PET side leaves a sleek, matte-like pattern. Both surfaces are engineered to provide excellent adhesion for different aesthetic results.
Generally, no. The PEO and PET surfaces are designed to provide strong adhesion for common filaments like PLA and PETG without extra adhesives. However, for materials like ABS or TPU, you may still want to use a thin layer of glue stick to assist with release and protect the plate surface.
Simply wipe the surface with a clean cloth and isopropyl alcohol (IPA) between prints to remove oils and dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the specialized textures on the PEO and PET sheets.
Yes, the plate is constructed from high-strength spring steel. Once the plate has cooled, you can gently flex it to pop your prints off the surface without needing a scraper.
Yes, to ensure the best results and longevity of the plate, we recommend 60-65°C for PLA, 70-80°C for PETG, 90-100°C for ABS, and 30-40°C for TPU.
