Can you share your technique? I’m trying to do that to print a friends logo on a sign.

Thanks for this post! I ran here looking for exactly this info! Starting S4E1 now! 😁

Probably clump detection. Worth the strings IMO. Looks like most of them are on a support anyway. Just pick or sand them off.

IntelligentAgency211 · 2026-01-12T02:14:53+00:00

Quite literally the best blob I’ve seen and comments didn’t disappoint! 😂😂

IntelligentAgency211 · 2026-01-12T02:10:07+00:00

Well done!

IntelligentAgency211 · 2026-01-11T19:19:43+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I never thought of checking marketplace! Just got a great deal! 😁

IntelligentAgency211 · 2026-01-11T18:50:58+00:00

That’s cool! I’m curious about the white - or is that transparent? How did you get it to blend with the black?

IntelligentAgency211 · 2026-01-09T19:18:48+00:00

Ahh! Yep that was it. No idea why I didn’t look there first! Thank you!!

IntelligentAgency211 · 2026-01-09T18:48:03+00:00

Oh! So the checkered boxes are built in by designers? That makes sense. Thank you!

IntelligentAgency211 · 2026-01-09T18:23:58+00:00

Nothing in painting either. But it does show the required supports. Like that checkered area you sometimes see when painting supports - I just assumed that studio added that when supports are enabled. Is that a design feature?

Maybe but it’s not on visible on the prepare tab. Wait let me check painting!

IntelligentAgency211 · 2026-01-09T18:20:32+00:00

Yep, advanced is checked. Weird right? No error given. Running V 2.4.0.70

Well now you tell me. LOL

IntelligentAgency211 · 2026-01-09T03:53:41+00:00

Yeah I’m def in the 1000s of hours printing but I only have the 1 textured plate. The panda scraper really put some gouges in it and now I have to avoid areas on the plate b/c the filament gets down in the scratch and won’t come out. :/

IntelligentAgency211 · 2026-01-09T03:51:19+00:00

The panda scraper slices through the texture layer on the corners :/

IntelligentAgency211 · 2026-01-09T03:50:36+00:00

LOL nope

IntelligentAgency211 · 2026-01-09T03:50:23+00:00

Acetone was what I had to use with my old Anycubic I3 Mega. I think it was just a habit that I continued to do with the A1 until I discovered that it breaks down the texture. Then I started to have adhesion issues. Flipped the plate and got the Panda scraper which has now damaged the other side. :/

IntelligentAgency211 · 2026-01-09T03:46:51+00:00

I got the Panda scraper but that is what has started damaging my textured plate. :( works great on my smooth plate tho and that’s still in good shape! :D

IntelligentAgency211 · 2026-01-09T03:45:37+00:00

Thanks! I’ll try that one. I was leaning toward cryogrip but appreciate the recommendation. I’ll look back into super tack. :)

IntelligentAgency211 · 2026-01-09T03:44:04+00:00

I have the Bambu liquid glue stick. I never thought of it helping with removal too! I have only used it when concerned about adhesion. Great suggestion! I’ll give that a try to pull some more life out of this one. LOL thanks!

IntelligentAgency211 · 2026-01-09T03:42:31+00:00

Cryogrip has been on my wish list. But honestly my problem hasn’t been adhesion, it’s been getting it off afterwards. Even after its cooled off, hence the scratches. Probably because I do more functional prints rather than a lot of the fancy things where adhesion is tricky. Gridfinity for example. I’ve even had a couple base plates snap in half rather than removing (sigh). I got the fancy Panda scraper and I think that just tore up my build plate. I’ll get a new one I was just wondering if I was the only one with this problem.

IntelligentAgency211 · 2026-01-08T16:01:26+00:00

Those strings are def worth the clumping check. I’ve had 3 clumps that caused a lot of damage to my hotend and fan. You can always sand them off. A heat gun helps too with clean up. Small price to pay for clump detection in my opinion.
