Creality 3D Official Ender 3 Bed Upgraded, PEI Sheet Removable Magnetic Flexible Heated Bed Plate Build Surface Bed Cover for Ender 3 S1/Ender 3 V2/Ender 3 Pro/Ender 5/Ender 5 Pro 3D Printer 235X235mm

Good quality

Literally the first print on a Creality printer, with a Creality bed using surprisingly the Creality PLA. Used 205 degrees Celsius on the hotend and 50 degrees on the bed. Print stuck well but even though leaving on the printer for maybe a half hour past hitting ambient temp of around 24-26, it didnt simply pop off like other say it should, or like it does on the textured PEI bed that I have. The fact that this is just a sticker is what makes it not worth it, from what I can tell most of the smooth beds are just that. Hopefully the pictures do it the injustice it deserves. It wasnt even the hardest print ever to remove, it took a little bit of tugging but, wow. Not only bubbles that were on the very perimeter of the print, but it seems there is a raised lump going all the way around it as if when I pulled it off it raised it enough to delaminate it and cause bubble sporadically to appear but also a line that will more than likely bubble up in the prints to come.

First off, I installed it correctly. I made sure my metal plate was clean from oils with 91% iso. alch. -I made sure the magnet was completely flat and gave it plenty of time to cure. a Full 2 days. I placed the steel sheet on the bed and warmed it to 60c for petg. I start printing and withing 10 mins the sheet has warped away from the magnet but also the magnet has warped around the edges and is not sticking to the metal plate at all. I have to clip the sheet and magnet around the edges to get it to work past 60c. It does work wonders when you can get it to not bend. Prints adhear well. Do i need spray adhesive? I was worried the magnetic mat might not stick. It didnt seem very sticky. Have not yet contacted support. debating if this is something i can diy fix/ user error or a real issue with product. Edit- 3/26/23 Nope does not stick, deforms at 60 degrees.

I have been using this PEI Magnetic bed for a couple weeks now and I have zero complaints. The installation is simple, Clean the print bed with rubbing alcohol and a microfiber cloth, and carefully set the adhesive magnet down. The build plate does not feel flimsy, but has enough give to pop the print off. I love this one so much I bought a second PEI build plate for my other printer. It has great adhesion, but nothing is coming off that glass bed! In short, this is a great product! Buy this thing! Buy Two! It has made removing prints SO easy! :)

Was having adhesion issues with PETG... not anymore! Prints almost stick too well now. Was easy to swap for the ender 3 pro magnetic build plate.

Better than Creality original removable print bed. I personally prefer this over the glass but the glass isn’t bad either. Once the print cools, it pops loose on it’s own. I plan on buying a second one in a couple of weeks.

Its official, PEI is the future. This thing is AMAZING! Everything sticks solidly when heated, and slides off effortlessly when cool. The texture it leaves on the bottom of prints is CRAZY smooth- I would compare it to bare hardwood thats been sanded to 2000-4000 grit sandpaper, its immensely satisfying. Ive only a few complaints: First, its a fingerprint magnet. If you have to handle it, I would recommend getting a cheap pair of white velvet gloves or the like to prevent smudges and fingerprints. It doesnt seem to affect adhesion, but I like to keep it clean so it looks nice. Second, getting small parts, like small support towers (>5mm in size) off the build plate is very difficult (IMPORTANT: with PLA its manageable, but IMPOSSIBLE with PETG. I had to buy an extra because a small support tower just will not come off. Print at your own risk). Lastly, its quite easy to scratch, so I wouldnt recommend using tools to remove prints, and always make sure that your Z-offsets are saved, or else youll end up with deep scratches. In summary, just get it. Its absolutely worth it, just make sure to treat it right, and it will serve you better than anything else youve used. Im honestly shocked this isnt standard on printers nowadays, so go ahead and get it!

I was surprised how well my prints have stuck to this new material. I have been using a textured glass and that still needed hairspray to stick. The PEI has been great so far without anything extra. I love how easy it is to remove the print. Either flex the plate to pop it off or let the bed cool completely and it slides off.

This plate is a huge improvement over the stock Ender 3 plate. The original plate needs to be held on with clips, and this one just has high temp adhesive to hold the magnetic part to the build plate semi-permanently, and then the main build plate attaches magnetically so its easy to remove to take parts off. My prints are much cleaner now, and the plate is way easier to clean too.

Cleaned bed to help with adhesion. After lifting and warping. Bed is still lifting and warping. Never buy this bed.
