Creality PEI Sheet Magnetic Flexible Heated Bed Platform for 3D Printer Ender 3/ Ender 3 Pro/Ender 5 235x235mm

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  Absolutely phenomenal. I am able to print PLA with no bed heat and no glue, hairspray, or anything. On my glass bed or even the Creality stock flexible bed, I still had to use glue sticks. On this bed, even fast, sharp corners do not peel. Not to mention, this is the first actual FLAT build surface I've found. Even the Creality glass bed was warped and I had many first layer issues, even with my BL Touch. This one is able to print on all 4 corners with no issues.SIDE NOTE: I misunderstood and thought I'd have to use the sticky magnet sheet that comes with it, but since the stock Creality bed is already magnetic, this PEI sheet literally just slaps right on the stock bed with nothing else, fits perfectly, and sticks (magnetically) perfectly.I really wish I would've bought this as my first upgrade...I struggled with bed adhesion and leveling for so long, and apparently for no reason!!!If you just got an Ender 3, Ender 3 Pro (like mine), or Ender 3 V2, this is one of the first upgrades you should buy.SIDE NOTE 2: this bed has a smooth texture. Couldn't find it in the description anywhere but people might be wondering.

Disclosure: I received a discount to buy this product in return for a review. That said, I would not have bothered with getting this unless I thought it would be good, and it turned out to be good.I prefer PEI, but I don't like dealing with clips. This is the best of both worlds. There's a very thin PEI sheet permanently attached to the metal sheet. The magnetic sheet sticks to the bed. Size was spot-on for the Ender 3 surface. There were some very minor sharp edges of PEI sticking out past the metal sheet, but I easily trimmed it off. I washed the surface with soap and water before use, and have done several prints at this point. No adhesion problems, and prints pop right off at the end.To sum up: Warmly recommended.

Doesn't look as nice as a glass bed and the prints are not as shiny where it was attached to the bed, but it still works good and prints stick to it. The bottom of prints are still smooth. The bottom of my prints are not meant to be seen anyway. The finish is still better than the standard textured bed.I like having the flexibility to remove the prints off the bed by bending the PEI sheet instead of trying to rip the print off of it. I like using a bit of glue to help prints stick to the bed, but the removable PEI sheet can be washed easily to remove left over glue after every print. I also don't need to level the bed every time I remove the PEI sheet off the bed.Better buy than the glass bed, IMHO, but its only my opinion. Still 5 stars for me.

(SOLVED) So the ability to remove the printing surface quickly is awesome, and it heats up nicely, and the quality seems to be pretty good... But... I have had terrible luck with prints simply not sticking. I have started a print, made sure that the base layer was adhering nicely, and then I left it alone to print... I have made so many giant balls of tangled filament or made nice filament nuggets it isn't even funny. I have had dozens of simple prints start out fine and then suddenly they are loose and I'm printing filament out into thin air. I've heard so many great things about these printer sheets, I'm really disappointed by the difficulties I am having.All in all I believe that I have a defective sheet and would be willing to give them another shot.So update: I was able to solve the adhesion issue with some better tuning but it came out a cost. Today after printing over night and removing the end result this morning the surface of the printing sheet broke apart and stuck to the bottom of my print. Now I need to get a new surface for the sheet. All in all this has just been a hassle. I've had the sheet for about one month in total and I'm already having to replace it. I don't know if I'll buy this sheet again.

Forget blue tape, glass beds, glue, hair spray, or any of those other tricks - this is the best bed I have used! Great adhesion, easy to remove items when done. Just don't print above 240, or you risk melting the print into the bed surfce.

Really liked this build surface.... for two days. It was a joy to print on until the PEI coating came off bonded to a print. Not good! Not good at all. I'd look elsewhere for a PEI steel build surface. This one doesn't seem to be made very well.

Great product!Mine did have minor damage to the surface from shipping but in an area that doesn't get printed on often.

Just put the magnet on your bed and go. Parts come off with no scraping at all. Heats up quickly and consistently.
