BIQU CryoGrip Pro Glacier Build Plate for Voron 300 - Firm Adhesion

In this review the BIQU CryoGrip Pro Glacier build plate is judged primarily on adhesion and everyday usability for hobbyists and small workshop users. The plate's biggest selling point is its consistently strong first-layer grip with PLA and PETG at lower bed temperatures, which reduces the need for glue and prevents edge warping. For anyone printing parts that must not lift during long jobs, this spring steel sheet promises reliable adhesion and an easy removal workflow that shortens post-print handling time.

Key Features

• Unmatched adhesion: The Glacier surface produces excellent first-layer hold with PLA and PETG, helping avoid glue, warping and failed prints.
• Lower temperature printing: The seven-layer construction and polymer surface allow firm adhesion at 45-55C for PLA and 60-75C for PETG, reducing thermal stress on parts.
• Wide filament compatibility: Works with PLA, PETG, ABS, PA and other engineering materials with nozzle temps below 300C, enabling more material experimentation.
• Heat insulated handle: The honeycomb handle stays cool even with a 100C bed so prints can be removed immediately without burning fingers.
• Easy maintenance: The self-recovering coating wipes clean with water, soap or alcohol and restores adhesion without special cleaners.

Who It's For

The CryoGrip Pro Glacier is aimed at enthusiasts and small-scale makers using Voron 300 or Qidi Plus 4 style 300 x 300mm beds who want dependable adhesion for PLA and PETG without constant tinkering. It is especially useful for people printing larger or thin-walled parts where edge lifting is a recurring problem, and for those who prefer to keep an auxiliary fan on during prints.

Users who need extreme long-term abrasion resistance or who primarily print at very high nozzle temperatures above 300C should consider other specialty plates. Also, those seeking the absolute strongest PLA-specific grip reported for other CryoGrip variants might compare options before committing.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent first-layer adhesion for PLA and PETG, reducing use of adhesives and preventing warping.
• Cool-touch honeycomb handle allows safe, immediate print removal and faster workflow.
• Compatible with a broad range of engineering filaments below 300C, expanding material options.
• Easy to clean surface that can recover adhesion with a simple wipe, saving maintenance time.

Cons

• Some users report mixed durability with occasional coating peeling after extended use, so longevity may vary by printing habits.
• Not the absolute best for PLA/PETG compared with other CryoGrip variants focused solely on those filaments.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The BIQU CryoGrip Pro Glacier build plate is a practical upgrade for Voron 300 and Qidi Plus 4 owners who want stronger first-layer adhesion and easier print removal without raising bed temperatures. It represents good value for makers who print PLA, PETG and many engineering filaments, though those prioritizing absolute long-term coating durability or specialty PLA-only performance should compare alternatives first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this plate work with PLA and PETG?
Yes, it excels with PLA and PETG and recommends 45-55C for PLA and 60-75C for PETG.

How do you remove prints from the plate?
Prints release cleanly by slightly bending the spring steel sheet or removing when cool; no scraping is normally required.

Is the surface hard to clean?
No, it cleans with water and soap or alcohol and the coating is self-recovering to restore adhesion.
