¶ Bambu Lab Glue
¶ Glue Stick for Build Plate
It provides suitable adhesion between the build plate and the model and is formaldehyde-free, making it suitable for printing filaments such as PC and PA. A regular glue stick can also be applied to the build plate to make it easier to remove models printed with certain high-adhesion filaments.
¶ Liquid Glue for Build Plate
It is an adhesive specially developed for 3D printing, suitable for printing filaments such as PLA, ABS, PETG, ASA, TPU and PET. When using Bambu Lab Liquid Glue, constant adhesion is maintained without worrying about models falling off or warping.

¶ Notes
- It is recommended to wait for the build plate to cool down before removing the printed model, which can reduce the risk of damage to the model and help the model to fall off the build plate more easily.
- If there is a lot of glue residue, it is recommended to clean the build plate before the next print to ensure good adhesion.
¶ FAQs
¶ What filaments does the glue work with?
Bambu Lab glue works with a variety of filaments, including PLA, ABS, and PETG. Before use, be sure to check the compatibility of the glue and choose the appropriate method for use according to the different types of build plates.
-
Bambu Textured PEI Plate: When using this plate, it is generally not necessary to apply glue. However, when printing with filament that has a strong bonding to the plate, like PETG, the model may be difficult to remove. In this case, you can reduce its adhesion by applying the glue; at the same time, avoid damaging the model or causing the bottom to turn white when disassembling the model with force.
-
Bambu Smooth PEI Plate: It is recommended for printing high-temperature filaments. Except for printing PLA, glue must be applied before printing other filaments to increase the success rate and avoid damage to the plate when removing the model. For example, using this plate to print PA6-GF can significantly improve the printing effect and reduce warping.
-
Bambu Cool Plate: This plate is only suitable for printing PLA, and glue should be applied before printing. When printing other filaments (such as PETG, ABS), bulging and sticking may occur.
-
Bambu High Temperature Plate: Compared to the Cool Plate, the High Temperature Plate offers better heat resistance, is less prone to creep, and provides improved compatibility. When printing with filaments other than PLA, it is recommended to use glue to ensure proper adhesion between the filament and the plate, thereby reducing the risk of tearing the spare sheet for high temperature plate.
¶ How to ensure the best adhesion?
- Before applying glue, make sure the surface of the build plate is clean, dry and free of grease.
- Apply glue evenly and apply appropriate pressure.
¶ How long does it take for liquid glue to dry?
Liquid glue applied to the build plate will usually become dry after 30 minutes to an hour, but may take up to 24 hours to become fully cured. The specific time may vary depending on the ambient temperature and humidity.
¶ How to clean Glue Stick?
Glue stick can be cleaned with water and soap. If the glue is dry, let the plate soak in water for about 30 seconds before washing it away.
¶ Storage conditions for glue?
Please store unused glue in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight to extend its shelf life.
