BIQU BIQU CryoGrip Pro Glacier Build Plate - Snapmaker U1
The BIQU CryoGrip Pro Build Plate is engineered specifically for the Snapmaker U1, delivering a double-sided 7-layer composite surface backed by high-magnetic spring steel for exceptional print adhesion. Its cold-release design means your finished prints pop off effortlessly after cooling — no tools, no scraping, no frustration. Whether you're printing PLA, PETG, or similar materials, the CryoGrip Pro simplifies your workflow while saving energy with its low-temperature release process.
- Designed specifically for the Snapmaker U1 3D printer for a perfect fit.
- Double-sided build surface doubles the usable life of the plate.
- 7-layer composite construction delivers consistent adhesion across the entire print surface.
- High-magnetic spring steel base ensures secure, warp-resistant plate seating.
- Cold-release technology — prints lift off cleanly after the plate cools, no tools required.
- Energy-saving low-temperature printing reduces power consumption versus heated-bed alternatives.
BIQU CryoGrip Pro Build Plate for Snapmaker U1
Cold Release
The BIQU CryoGrip Pro build plate for the Snapmaker U1 features a double-sided 7-layer composite with high-magnetic spring steel for strong PLA and PETG adhesion.
Key Features of the BIQU CryoGrip Pro Build Plate:
- Designed specifically for the Snapmaker U1 3D printer for a precise, secure fit.
- High-magnetic spring steel base ensures firm, consistent seating on the printer bed.
- Cold-release technology allows prints to pop off effortlessly as the plate cools; no tools needed!
- Energy-saving cold printing process reduces power consumption compared to heated-release alternatives.
- Durable construction designed for repeated use across hundreds of print cycles!
7-Layers of Surface Superiority
The CryoGrip Pro's advanced 7-layer composite build surface is engineered to grip your prints firmly throughout the entire print process. This multi-layer construction balances flexibility and rigidity, ensuring first layers bond reliably while preserving surface integrity over time.
- Double-sided design doubles the usable lifespan of each plate.
- Even adhesion across the full build surface minimizes warping and lifting.
- Compatible with PLA and PETG for versatile everyday 3D printing.
Secure and Tool-Free Removal
The spring steel base magnetically locks onto the Snapmaker U1 bed with a strong, consistent hold, eliminating unwanted shifting during printing. When your print is complete, simply flex the plate slightly and parts release cleanly—no scrapers, spatulas, or force required.
- Strong magnetic connection prevents plate movement during 3D printing.
- Spring steel flexes easily for instant, damage-free part release.
- Plate snaps back to flat shape for immediate reuse.
Energy Saver
Unlike traditional build surfaces that require sustained high bed temperatures for part release, the CryoGrip Pro leverages cold-release technology. 3D prints release naturally as the plate cools to room temperature. This reduces the energy needed to maintain elevated bed temperatures post-print, saving power and speeding up your overall workflow.
- No need to heat the bed for part removal. Let it cool, and prints pop off.
- Lower energy consumption compared to heat-release build surfaces.
- Faster turnaround between prints with a simplified removal process.
Which Plate is Best for You?
| Model | Frostbite | Glacier |
|---|---|---|
| Surface Finishes | Rough Texture (Better Grip) | Smooth Texture |
| G.S.I.* | PLA/PETG/ABS: 10 | PLA/PETG/ABS: 8 |

|
1–6 Moderate adhesion |
Using a brim is highly recommended. | |
|
7–8 Good adhesion |
A brim is generally not needed. Use one for challenging prints, or add mouse-ear pads if only the corners lift. | |
|
9–10 Excellent adhesion |
Do not use a brim unless the part is extremely small or prone to warping. A single-layer brim may be difficult to remove from the plate. | |
