Buildplate BIQU Panda CryoGrip Pro Glacier — double-sided magnetic print surface for Bambu Lab X1, P1 and A1 (257×257 mm)

BIQU Panda CryoGrip Pro Glacier is a double-sided magnetic buildplate engineered for Bambu Lab X1, P1 and A1 printers with a 257×257 mm active area. The reversible design delivers two distinct print surfaces on a single plate to balance secure first-layer adhesion and simplified part removal. The buildplate integrates with magnetic mounting systems for fast swaps and supports repeated use across multiple prints without extensive preparation.

Advantages

The CryoGrip Pro Glacier offers a reversible workflow: one side optimized for stronger adhesion during the first layers, the other side tuned for easier removal once the part cools. Its magnetic backing enables quick installation and removal from Bambu Lab machines, reducing downtime between prints. The plate is designed for dimensional stability across typical desktop printing temperatures and provides a consistent surface texture that helps improve bed leveling repeatability and first-layer quality.

Suitable for

• Desktop 3D printing with Bambu Lab X1, P1 and A1 series printers
• Prints requiring reliable first-layer adhesion for PLA, PETG and similar materials
• Users who need quick buildplate changes during multi-material or multi-job workflows
• Situations where one side is preferred for strong adhesion and the other for easy part removal

When it may not be suitable

This buildplate is sized specifically for a 257×257 mm active area and is intended for printers that accept magnetic buildplates; it is not compatible with non-magnetic or larger/smaller beds. Very high-temperature materials that require heated beds above typical desktop ranges or specialized surfaces (for example, certain nylon or polycarbonate grades) may need dedicated build surfaces or adhesives beyond what this reversible plate provides.

Key specifications

• Active surface dimensions: 257 × 257 mm
• Double-sided reversible print surface — two texture/adhesion options
• Magnetic backing compatible with magnetic mounting systems
• Suitable for repeated installation and removal during print workflows
• Designed for standard desktop FFF/FDM printing temperature ranges

How to use

Align the magnetic buildplate with the printer’s magnetic mounting surface and allow it to attach securely. Prepare the selected side according to filament requirements: clean the surface of dust or residue with isopropyl alcohol if needed, set your bed temperature and initial layer settings per filament manufacturer guidance, and run a first-layer test to confirm adhesion. After printing and cooling, remove the part using recommended removal methods for that side (flexing the plate slightly if permitted, or using a scraper where safe). Flip the plate to switch between adhesion and removal surfaces as workflow demands.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your printer model supports a 257×257 mm magnetic buildplate and magnetic mounting
• Check the filaments you plan to print and whether their recommended bed temperatures fall within typical desktop ranges
• Consider whether you need a specialty surface for very high-temperature or chemical-resistant materials
• Ensure replacement or alternate plates match the magnetic system and plate thickness required by your machine

Usage recommendations

For best results, clean the active surface regularly with isopropyl alcohol, adjust first-layer height and extrusion to achieve consistent adhesion, and allow the print to cool before attempting removal. Use the stronger-adhesion side for small or detailed parts and the easier-release side for larger flat parts to reduce post-processing effort.
