BIQU CryoGrip Pro Glacier Build Plate for K1 Max and Ender-3 V3

Our review of the BIQU CryoGrip Pro Glacier build plate finds it best suited to hobbyists and small shops who need reliable first-layer adhesion without constant use of glue or aggressive bed prep. The plate delivers unusually strong adhesion for PLA and PETG at relatively low bed temperatures thanks to a seven-layer polymer design, and it is sized to replace the stock plate on K1 Max and Ender-3 V3 Plus printers. In short, this is a practical upgrade when you want consistent adhesion, easier part removal and a surface that tolerates routine cleaning.

Key Features

• Unmatched adhesion: The Glacier surface provides firm first-layer grip that reduces edge warping and prevents prints from falling off the bed.
• Low temperature performance: Designed to bond well at PLA bed temps of 45-55C and PETG at 60-75C, minimizing heat demand for many prints.
• Wide filament compatibility: Works with PLA, PETG, ABS, PA and other engineering materials with nozzle temperatures under 300C.
• Heat insulation handle: Honeycomb handle design stays cool to the touch even when the bed reaches high temperatures, making print removal faster and safer.
• Easy maintenance: The self-recovering coating cleans with water, soap or alcohol and regains adhesion after a simple wipe.
• Flexible removal: The spring steel sheet allows prints to pop off cleanly when the plate is slightly bent, eliminating scraping.

Who It's For

The Glacier plate is ideal for users of the K1 Max or Ender-3 V3 Plus who want stronger bed adhesion for PLA and PETG without relying on adhesives or tape. It suits modders and makers printing functional parts or larger first layers that historically suffer from warping.

It may be less appropriate for those who demand the absolute best PLA/PETG peel performance achievable from alternate textures, or for users who expect a lifetime of flawless coating without occasional edge wear; some customers report mixed long-term durability of the coating.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent initial adhesion for PLA and PETG, reducing the need for glue or brim additions.
• Compatible with a range of engineering filaments up to 300C nozzle temps, expanding material choices.
• Convenient handle design and spring steel flexibility make part removal quick and safe.
• Easy to clean surface that recovers adhesion after wiping with water or alcohol.

Cons

• Some users report coating durability issues over time, so longevity can vary by usage and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my Ender-3 V3 Plus?
Yes, the Glacier sheet is sized and listed as compatible with Ender-3 V3 Plus and should replace the stock spring steel plate.

What bed temperature should I use for PLA?
For PLA the recommended bed temperature is 45-55C to achieve firm adhesion without overheating the part.

How do I remove prints?
Slightly bend the spring steel sheet to flex parts off cleanly; the honeycomb handle stays cool for quick handling.
