Official Creality PEI Sheet 235x235mm Flexible Removable Spring Steel Plate Magnetic Sticker Heated Bed Kit Replacement Accessory for Ender 3 S1/Ender 3/Ender 3 V2/Ender 3 Pro/Ender 5 Hot Bed Surface

I bought this to replace the regular one that came with my Ender 3 Pro and this is a much superior product. Its basically a spring steel sheet with the PEI coating over it. It also comes with a magnetic layer with 3M adhesive backing. I did not have to use that magnetic layer because the Ender 3 Pro already had a magnetic layer stuck on the bed. With my prints, the first layer in contact with this new sheet is super smooth and I have not have problems with adhesion. When the print is done the removal process is super easy as well. I can remove the skirt with my finger nails and it comes right off and the print itself is basically lifting up the sheet a little and flexing it a little. The print pops right off. Ive printed just 3 prints so far. Lets see how long this last bust so far I am very happy with the purchase.

This is the second (one for my other printer) of these that I purchased. My preferred print surface. Makes removing prints easy.

Buying this product is paying a huge markup for the Creality logo on a PEI sheet. Go buy a PEI sheet from literally anyone else, and dont give Creality your money. Far as the product goes its alright. I mean, its a magnet with sticky stuff, and a sheet of metal. Even Creality was hard pressed to screw that up. My biggest beef with the product is the enormous, thick magnet that you have to stick to your bed, which the sheet lays on (using adhesive). I dont like how it blocks access to the screws on the bed (god forbid you ever wanted to change the screws or springs - youll have to peel off the whole thing). It sucks that the only way to access the screws is by basically ruining the product. The sheet is of acceptable thickness. Not too thick or thin. However, only 1 side has the PEI coating. The other side is bare stainless. Ive seen lots of sheets that were either double sided and the same, or double sided with a smooth/rougher texture. Just a small missed opportunity by Creality because they never bother to polish their products. Somebody at Creality looked at this and said Meh, I guess thats enough and now here we are (This is coincidentally a common thread with Creality). So to sum it up, the Pros: It actually is a PEI sheet, and it actually worked on my printer (unlike some Creality products) Cons: Poorly designed Overpriced You basically have 1 shot to get the magnet sticker on correct Its a Creality product Its a Creality product Its a Creality product

Ok, if you have the original plastic bed that came with your printer I feel sorry for you. If your tired of dealing with stuck prints and just horrid performance with the bed then look no further. This plate is the best thing I ever bought. Sticks good, but releases instantly, no fighting or cleanup issues. Comes clean the first time and every time.

UPDATE: The seller was very quick to remedy this issue, and the bed really is phenomenal. Don’t heat the bed when you clean it with alcohol! Use only a small amount of ~91% IPA (they recommend 95% but I can’t find this concentration) and it should evaporate quickly without the need for heat. —————————————— First off, I’d like to say that out of the box this print surface is phenomenal. However, I’m not 100% sure why, but the PEI coating formed these little bubbles after only a couple days of use and maintenance. It’s kinda hard to make out in the included photo because they’re extremely small, but they’re there. I can only imagine these will get worse over time… One possibility is that I used IPA to clean the surface while the bed was slightly heated. This allows for quick evaporation with a clean surface left behind. I try to do this after every few prints and have been doing so for a long time. I’ve never seen this problem before, and the item description does say IPA is safe to use on the surface. Prints still lay down mostly fine, but as I said, I imagine it will get worse, and I’m sure it isn’t exactly helping with adhesion…

100% happy with this purchase. Great adhesion and flexibility makes it a breeze to remove PLA. Highly recommend

This drastically improved first layer adhesion on my Ender 3 V2 compared to the stock glass bed. I had tried adding a CR-Touch, replacing the springs, fiddling with temperatures and slicer settings, and using both sides of the stock glass bed, but I could rarely get reliable prints especially for small details on the first layer of many prints. With the PEI plate the filament perfectly forms on the bed from the extruder and doesnt curl or get elephants foot when I use standard 200C extruder and 50C bed temperatures with Overture PLA. Well see how long the adhesive lasts, but so far this is easily the best upgrade Ive made to my printer short of the CR-Touch. Plus you get the added bonus of no longer needing to use the scraper to get (most) things off the bed!

This works perfect and is what I was looking for. PLA sticks great at 60 on the Ender 3 Pro using the factory magnet that was already on the bed. Once the bed cools, the prints release usually without too much force, else pickup the metal sheet and flex it to release your print. Im using IPA to clean the bed, while cool, between prints and working perfect. Dont try to pull off a print while the bed is still hot since this could rip your PEI layer.

Ran into some leveling issues after a few days of printing, and after hours of bed leveling I decided to switch back to my older glass bed. The magnetic pad left a thick layer of residue on the bed which required a few hours of rubbing and ALOT of acetone.

Prints just stick to this thing. I was using a glass bed before and while yes the glass was flatter, I was having issues getting prints to stick reliably, even when using a glue stick. This PEI sheet saved me from pulling out my hair.
