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

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

This sheet really should have shipped with the machine. I had pretty bad adhesion problems with the stock textured PEI sheet on the Ender 3 S1 Pro, and upgrading to this was an instant game-changer. In the brief time that I have been using it I can see light marking from prints that dont completely clean off with alcohol, so it makes me wonder about long-term durability. However, Ill take reliable adhesion over looks any day! Easy upgrade and will pay for itself in saved filament.

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

I had the first print adhere to it but nothing has since. I have tried cleaning it with 99% and even used dawn dish soap. I cannot get anything to stick.

This is a great upgrade, almost a must for the standard Ender 3. The PEI build plate releases the part as soon as it’s cooled off. No prying at it with the spatula like on the stock build plate.

I have no pla sticking issues! Petg I use Magigoo as a pei surface buffer to avoid permanent bonding. I do print Petg at 240c and bed 75c and Creality warns against high temperatures but says it’s good for petg? In any case I print petg! One tip, scuff the pei surface with 000 steel wool if filament starts to not stick. I do that occasionally on another one a year now! Solves sticking issues! Before every print I do a wipe with 91% alcohol to remove hand and finger prints made flexing it. Same on my year old Creality pei surface on another printer.

Have had great luck with printing PETG. I use 250C extruder and 85C bed for my settings on an Ender 3 Pro and its been working out really well as long as everything is leveled properly. Popping off the prints is so much easier than using the mat that comes with the Ender 3 because it has metal underneath instead of the flimsy magnet stuff

After a few prints, my PEI coating started to come off. I was unable to remove my prints from the bed even after cooling. Once I was able to remove my prints, the PEI coating came off with it.

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

I like being able to remove my prints easily. I am having a difficult time getting them to stick. Painters tape for now.
