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

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.

This bed started out great, printed first 2 prints perfectly. 3rd print had a weird layer shift due to loss of adhesion half way through. 4th print after a few layers the entire bed lost adhesion. Now I cant get anything to stick at all. Hoping to get it dialed in but I had a glass bed that was great for years and this one lasted 2 prints so not high hopes right now.

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

Out of all the magnetic plates I have used. This is my fav.

My printer came with a glass plate and I wish I would have bought this sooner! My first layers always go down perfectly now even on small and intricate parts. Large prints now have zero corner warping. I will be buying this again.

After buying my Ender 3 V2, it was printing fine in the beginning. Then I started to get the adhesion issues, which I initially could solve by washing the glass panel in the dishwasher, then dishwasher with alcohol cleaning. In the end nothing was sticking anymore, and elmers glue was the only option left. Since I had good (initial) experiences with the glass platform, I decided to buy a new one. I went through the same struggles, but then I had a PETG print stick to it with a vengeance. So that one became a write off too, since I damaged the glass. After reading a lot of articles online, I decided to give a PEI sheet a try. So I glued that one to the scratched plate, and it worked fine. However, larger prints were sticking too much.... The PEI was by itself very good though, so the obvious next try was this flexible bed. I can only say that I am very happy with this purchase. I can recommend this upgrade to anyone who just bought their printer. Great adhesion, and very smooth. So your prints will be very smooth too! What I do is clean the platform every single time before use with 99.9% IPA, which I have anyway for my resin printer, and I have yet to run into adhesion issues. Therefore; Buy it, keep it clean with 99.9% IPA, and you will not regret it :-)

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.

I had several issues with adhesion for my prints. This bed fixed all the problems. Don’t forget to adjust your z-offset after installing it.

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.
