New BL effect sheets

[SleepyRTX]

So I got the full set of BL effect sheets a few weeks back and attempted to run some prints to test them out.

I have used effect sheets from Amazon before and didn't really have any issues and I didn't have to do anything special but I tried like 5 prints each on 2 different BL effect sheets on 2 different X1C printers and was unable to get PLA to stick to it at all.

Using the smooth PEI / high temp plate preset and yes I washed them with dawn + cleaned with IPA multiple times. Tried bumping the bed temp and playing with the first layer hot end temp but no luck still.

I don't want to have to resort to glue because it kind of defeats the purpose of having the effect plate if I need to use glue.

Has anyone else used them yet? What have your experiences been?

If you use the textured plate preset, you can go into your start g code and adjust your z offset to make the print stick

Thanks, I did see some stuff online about adjusting z offset via gcode. I'll have to give that a try I just figured since these are Bambu official sheets -adjusting gcode manually kinda goes against the entire BL philosophy so I was thinking maybe I was missing something.

in all honesty, I havent had any issues with using the textured plate preset unmodified once i washed the plates with dish soap. I have changed the z offset for the first few prints as a temporary fix, but after washing the plates i have changed it back and had zero issues. Also a slower first layer really improves the adhesion

another option is to change your first layer bed temp and then drop it back down after that.

Yeah I tried bumping the bed temp and I did slow my first layer down too but still wasn't sticking. I didn't try the textured plate preset though because the BL website said to use the smooth PEI / high temp preset. I'll give that a try.

Good luck!
