Creality 3D Original Ender 3 Magnetic Build Plate - 235x235mm Removable Flexible Heated Bed Cover for Ender 3/Ender 3 Pro/Ender 3 V2 3D Printers | Perfect for Smooth Printing & Easy Model Removal

Seems good, maybe a pinch thinner than the one that came with my Ender 3 pro. My base was already magnetic and this is a spare one. The magnetization is sideways for this new mat. I will have to cut it to fit sideways on the bed.This is the identical factory replacement even with the Ender logo on it. This is what I was looking for as a spare. PLA sticks great at 60 and won't come free even if the bed cools. You might want this if you pause your prints over night and want to resume the next day; prints won't slip. You will have to pick this bed cover up off the bed and peel it from your print to get it off. I nice upgrade from this item is the "Official Creality 3D Original PEI Sheet Flexible Magnetic Sticker Heated Bed 235x235mm Removable Spring Steel Plate"The print sticks to the bed great, but it does not stay in place. I have lost multiple prints from the mat shifting during the print. The magnetics are just not strong enough.I'm on my 3rd Creality magnetic build surface. I print with eSun PETG which for me needs a bed temperature of 70 C. As others have noted, with time and higher temperatures the surface will eventually de-magnetize. Also, it will start to form bubbles on the underside which aren't readily apparent from the top, but does create an uneven surface. For me, with printing just about each day (but not 24/7) it takes about 7 months for the print surface to deteriorate to the point that it affects the prints. Check the underside periodically for bubbling, and get a new one on order once that happens. Accordingly, I'm treating this as a consumable item and getting a new one every 6 months.Printing with this surface works great -- I have zero problems with adhesion and getting completed prints off the surface. No scraping or spatulas needed. I just wipe it down with ISO alcohol before every print -- no other coatings or tape required. You do need to be careful when flexing the surface to remove prints. The surface can crease if bent at too sharp of an angle, so treat it gently. I did that to my first surface right off the bat, but still got a lot of use out of it by just moving the print to the un-creased portion of the surface while slicing.I highly recommend this surface for "no fuss" printing. Minus 1 star for limited lifespan.I was super excited to finally get a magnetic print plate for my 3D printer. How disappointing! Can't print anything on it. I had watched reviews so I was aware that I would have to put the adhesive part on cockeyed in order to get the magnetic plate to sit square on the bed. Took my time making sure it would line up correctly and got the adhesive part of the system on with no bubbles....then I put the magnetic part on top and I notice it is wavy, bubbles in the middle and there is no way to get it to sit flat. You cannot make a good quality 3D print with a wavy surface. Absolutely a waist of money. Do not purchase. Just stick with glass.Edit: about a week later. Like I said, I was super excited when I received this product. I had been having a hard time getting my prints to come off of the original print bed and because of this, I had several gouges out of the original bed. It took removing and repositioning the plate several times before I finally got it to lay flat on the bed without hitting either of the side rails, but I finally did it! Then my next issue, during printing, instead of the print itself starting to curl the entire plate started to curl. So I clipped it down and am currently trying a new print on it. Still can't give it 5Stars because of all the issues I have encountered with it, however, print does peel off like nothing when it is done, or stopped because something is messing up. I look forward to working with this plate more.Funciona bienVery good adhesion of the model, super fast shiping.UPDATE: I would like to change my review of this product. I left my original review below so if others have the same issue they can understand what I saw. So ends up the biggest reason I was having issues with adhesion was my switch to the Amazon Basics PLA. This PLA ( I have a few rolls) needs to be used at a much higher temp. I started having cloggin issues using it and saw other suggesting the cloggin and adhesion problems were with temps being to low. People were suggesting 230C for the end, which is way over what the PLA is marked. I started doing so test at high temp and found the PLA worked much better. With this is mind I went back to my Creality build plate and it stuck perfect. I then went back to my hatchbox pla and my usual 205C and it stuck perfect. I raised the review to 3 to see how it works over the next month and if all good I will raise it againPrevious Post: I was so excited when I bought this build plate for my 3d printer. For about 10 or so prints it worked pretty well. Then I started to have issues with adhesion. I have a BLtouch for auto level, but changed the z offset up and down, higher pla temps, heat the bed, don't heat the bed. The thing just stopped working. Cleaned it with rubbing alcohol, nothing. so I am going back to glass and glue. since I have pla adhesion issues went away.Unfortunately, as a new owner of a 3D printer, I am somewhat impatient. So I have scraped, and used all sort of methods to remove my print jobs and residue.Wrong.Let it cool, lift the pad off the bed and flex it off, the magnetic bed cover will release the job and be ready to re-use, without damaging the surface. A pretty smart idea, in my opinion.Rinse and wipe with alcohol and a lint free rag, and you will get a much longer service life out of the covering. This is to remove dust, fingerprints, things that do reduce adhesion.Acetone has removed some of the black surface colour, but it still works. So be careful with your cleaning!View these plates/pads as consumables.I have a new glass plate to try later. Much later if this one continues to work well.The print surface itself is decent, PLA sticks very well to it, but everything else about this is terrible. It is barely magnetic, and it will lift off the bed with basically zero force. This combined with how flexible the print surface is means that prints are very likely to lift at the corners. It's not a bed adhesion issue, the prints don't detach from the build surface when this happens, they just lift the whole build surface up with them. So it's not even fixable with better adhesion (which is usually how I fix warping issues like this). The fact that the prints can lift this build surface off the bed makes it basically useless.I don't think the problem is in the magnetic sticker that comes with this. I've tried another magnetic surface with it and that one sticks down fine, it's just this surface that seems to barely be magnetic.The surface got damaged after one use. In comparison, the "Ender" labeled original mat beside it has seen 100's of prints & is still holding well save for a few small imperfections. On top of that, the magnetic glue piece that it came with had the magnet oriented the wrong way... 90 degree flipped. So now I can't even put the old build mat back the way it was. This is NOT an original... I would be ashamed to sell a product of this quality and make the stated claims in the headline.Once the bed is paralleled properly and wiped down with 99% isopropyl alcohol... the prints are beautiful. I only use Duramic filaments. They are the best out there by farGot this to replace my 3 year old original Creality Magnetic surface. It got scratched and gouged over the years. No issues when I used it for the first time. Just adjusted the bed level.
