Darkmoon LUX Build Plate for Bambu Lab Printers

Fabulous product

Great finish, easy to print on

I printed PETG-CF on the LUX and used some glue stick (maybe PVA? doesn't say on the stick, but water soluble) and the results were pretty good. The sticking was bad of course (PETG-CF is the worst, even on my textured PEI, and I printed a large flat surface), but after soaking it for 5 minutes in hot water and then bending the build plate a bit it got off without marks on the plate or on the part. Overall very happy with the plate! Wish it was double sided though.

Best Build Plate for TPU

One of my first prints with this plate was with TPU and I got a very nice surprise. The TPU sticked firm enough to the plate to remain stable during the entire print, but it then removed very easy from the plate, unlike many other plates that never want to let go of TPU. The surface finish with other filaments is incredible as well. However, I then tried a print with PCTG which I will never repeat on this plate. The PCTG left some residue on the plate and the shape of my print is still visible even after thorough washing the plate with soak and alcohol. There are no feelable artifacts, but it just looks a bit ugly. The PCTG is not mentioned as a filament for this plate, so I consider this problem as my own mistake and still give this plate 5 stars! But again, it's definitely my go-to plate for all TPU prints!
