Official Creality K1 Max Glossy PEO and Matte PEI Double Side Build Plate Kit, 315 x 310mm Flexible Spring Steel Platform, Removable 3D Printer PEI Sheet Build Surface for K1 Max/Ender 3 V3 Plus

I bought an Ender 3 Pro, and soon the original magnetic build plate started giving me issues. It was never perfectly flat and level. I bought a fancy borosilicate glass bed and applied a PEI sheet on top of that. This gave me a perfectly flat bed with terrific adhesion, but the problem was sometimes the adhesion was too good and it was difficult to remove parts without marring them or the PEI sheet. In addition, the glass was heavy and limited how fast I could print. And I had to deal with binder clips. I finally got tired of it and started investigating spring steel plates like this one. I read a lot of reviews and could not decide which one to buy. I finally decided on this one because I could get it fairly quickly, and I figured if it was terrible I would return it. I am sure glad I picked this one.Wow. I wish this would have been my very first mod for my printer. I have done a LOT of mods to my printer now, but this is probably going to be at the top of my list for the best ones. The print surface is flat and level, and attaches nicely with the magnet. It is very easy to take the plate off and put it back on. And with a little flex of the plate, prints pop right off. I previously removed the stock magnetic surface from my build plate, so I was glad they included a new one with this plate. It was easy to apply and stuck well.Based on all the previous reviews I read, I was not sure what to expect about this protective film I would have to remove. There was a plastic film stuck over the top that to me, was QUITE clear that it needed to be remove and it was a protective piece of plastic. If anyone can't figure this out, what business do they have owning a 3D printer? Ignore all the other reviews making this sound difficult. It's obvious what needs to be peeled off. Peel it off and move on.After removing the protective film, I started to think there was another layer that needed to be peeled off (all those other reviews were in the back of my head still). But after some careful scraping with a knife in a corner, I decided that was not the case and the only thing left was the PEI itself. The reason I thought maybe more needed to peel off was that there was some damage/pitting on the PEI sheet, but it is all pretty close to the edge and shouldn't really affect printing as I rarely go all the way to the edge.I was going to include some pictures with this review, but that option seems to be gone. Anyways, this is a fantastic build plate and you should buy it!

This bed works perfect with my Ender 3 printer! The prints no longer slide off the plate with this texture and I’ve had no problems with failed prints like I Had before.

By far my most reliable plate for the Ender 3SE printer. I get consistent builds that will adhere well to the surface. Prints are easy to remove once the plate cools with little effort. Size fits the bed perfectly and holds well. Great looking product too.

I recently upgraded my Ender 3 Pro with a PEI bed, and the difference is night and day! Moving from the stock bed was a game-changer. One of the biggest improvements is how easily prints release after cooling. No more struggling or risking damage to my prints! I've also noticed significantly better adhesion during printing, which has improved the overall quality and success rate of my projects. If you own an Ender 3 Pro and are looking for a simple but impactful upgrade, I wholeheartedly recommend this PEI bed. It's made a hell of a difference!

Easy install, just make sure you clean the metal bed with isopropyl alcohol or similar before adhering the magnetic sheet.Prints adhere decently and release easily to PEI sheet.There were a few imperfections on the edges of PEI sheet that I received (see photos), but they are outside of print area so not a huge problem. I just wanted to get printing so I didn't exchange.

I use this for all my prints with Creality Hyper PLA. Adhesion is good and it is flexible which helps for removing prints. It's easy to install, just place it on the magnetic bed.I would not use this for PETG since the adhesion might be too high. For PETG I would recommend the B plate with the texture, and not this smooth plate.

This plate works wonders, it's essentially gotten rid of my need for gluesticks, and it also applies to the bed very nicely.

I like this print bed, it’s easy to install and it works great for the price. It fits the Ender 3 perfectly and takes 5 min to install. The magnetic sheet is very strong and the plate is flexible enough to remove prints without losing durability.The one thing I’ve noticed after 3 months of use is that different brands PLA adhere differently to the PEI. The lower quality of PLA seems to fare worse, and will only adhere at temps of 60C or higher on the textured side, absolutely no chance of sticking to the smooth side. Higher qualities of PLA work great on the textured side and ~60% of the time on the smooth side.Overall, I recommend this plate for a cheap and easy upgrade for your Ender 3. My only caveat is the adhesive quality on the smooth side. Keep in mind that my print settings may interfere with this as well.
