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 found this one to be very thin compared to others I have tried. It is a great surface, but would rather a thicker plate.

I bought 2 of these for my Ender 3s ... the original flexible rubber mats were in bad shape after hundreds of prints. These spring steel plates are super for popping off prints. PEI coating kind of useless. Bed adhesion was a problem, but a few strokes of Elmers purple glue stick and all was good. Since I already had a magnetic bed, I didnt need the included one. Steel plate sticks firmly to bed, heats up nice, prints have a flat smooth bottom.

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

This bed is so much better for my S1 printer than the bed it came with. The prints sticks really well but pops of easily. The only problem I have is you have to lay the bed past the screws at the back of the printer bed or else it wont fit.

Ive had my Ender3 for about 2 years and have printed miles of filament. I had been using a glass print bed but decided to try the PEI bed. The prints would sometimes not stick to the glass or not come off once completed. This works very nicely, great initial adhesion and the flexibility allows the print to pop off without issue. Additionally you dont need the binder clips to hold the build plate down as the PEI is magnetic which gives you a more complete build surface to use. Love it!

A chunk of PEI came off with the print after only a week of light use

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.

I was using glass and had so many problems getting prints to stick. It would take 2 to 3 prints to get a good one. Once I got this, no more problems so now I can focus on other parameters.

From the get go, the sheet was nice, the magnetic sheet was great, the spring steel was flexible and the PEI worked very well. After about a week of printing (Mostly ABS at 90c+) I started to see bubbles beneath the PEI and then the corners began to peel up. I tried making a small incision in the large bubble to try to get the air out but negative. More and more bubbles began showing up. I really liked the PEI so I purchased a new sheet from a different vendor, and easily peeled off the now bubbly PEI sheet that came with it. I basically got my money for the spring steel sheet and the magnetic sticker, sadly.

Getting product off is a breeze.
