Optional accounts are live on buildplates.fyi! Sign in with Bluesky or another AT Protocol account to keep track of your print queue and submissions across devices. Browsing and submitting anonymously still work. buildplates.fyi/account

We don't store anything in your PDS. This is just so you don't need to have one more account for something niche. If you have a print queue, this is nicer than having to find your magic link for it or results you've already submitted.

New on buildplates.fyi / willitstick.fyi: a large-object warp test (beta) The standard test tells you whether a filament grips a plate. It can't tell you whether a part as long as your bed stays flat. The new test does.

Also new: the submit form asks which printer you used (optional). About 50 current printers, nicknames work ("X1C"), and you can add yours or a modded bed size. Every printer has its own results page, and you can filter a pairing's results by printer.

willitstick.fyiHow we test bed adhesion — Will It StickThe standard Will It Stick adhesion test: one model, three checks (first-layer adhesion, warping, and ease of removal), so results stay comparable. Plus an optional large-object warp test.

⚠️ It's a beta. We may still change the part, its settings or how lift is measured, and results from before a change may get deleted or marked invalid.

Results show up in the matrix as a small bar glyph: flat green when every run held, a raised amber end when something lifted. Each pairing gets its own large-object section too, and print queues get a large-object list next to the standard one.

Pick your printer at buildplates.fyi/submit?test=large-object-v1 and the form tells you how long to print the bar, where it goes, and which file to start from.

Bambu Studio: one for the H series, one for the 256mm Bambu printers OrcaSlicer: one for everything else PrusaSlicer: one for Prusa printers Other slicers: the STL plus How to Test's settings table All four 3MFs are on Printables. MakerWorld has the Bambu Studio profiles and the OrcaSlicer file.

Print a plain bar, 30 × 20 mm, stretched to 90% of your printer's X and placed along the front of the plate. Then record whether the part lifted, the plate lifted, or neither. It even warps in PLA, so you don't have to print with the expensive warp-prone stuff.

Many new printed object comparisons are live at buildplates.fyi/plates/compare now! If you were bummed about @bambulabglobal.bsky.social discontinuing the Smooth PEI plate for H2/A2L printers, we’ve got info on some other options! #3dprinting

buildplates.fyiCompare build plates — Will It StickPut two 3D printer build plates side by side: which materials stick to each, which need prep, which to keep off, and a texture wipe when both have a chip scan.

This sticker may come to a con or reprap fest near you soon!

What are some things you wish you could compare or know more about #3dprinting build plates? I’ve got some free time this week to add features to the website!

willitstick.fyi is the place to go for all sorts of build plate information! - what materials stick to which plates - comparisons of printed object texture - what plate should I buy if I want to print these materials? All of this backed by community-submitted standard tests! #3dprinting
