Why haven't I bought this earlier? What a MASSIVE IMPROVEMENT over what I had been doing.OK, so far I've only printed PLA, and that sticks well (but not TOO well). And removing the prints? OH MY. No more scraping and hacking.I bought this as an experiment, actually. I have a Sindoh DP200, whose standard equipment is a removable bed but not a flexible one. So although I could remove the bed to get a better angle for my scraper, and without worrying about messing up the bed levels, removing the prints was a real hassle. PLA stuck too well. So well, in fact, that over time the scraper left hack marks and divots on the bed surface.So, with a seriously marred bed I decided to buy a replacement from Sindoh. Same problems, of course.But then I thought... I have this old bed with a damaged surface but the aluminum subplate is in perfect shape. I wonder if I could put a flexible bed on top of that?So I ordered this CHPOWER Creality Ender 3 Magnetic Flexible Build Surface. And then I scraped off all the surface from that, down to the bare aluminum, and installed the CHPOWER Surface onto it.VOILA! It's like magic.Before I started using it though I did an auto bed level. I then printed a small rectangle to test the z offset, and so I adjusted that to my liking. AND NOW I AM OFF TO THE RACES.What a difference! It's magical (have I mentioned that?)

I've been very happy with the magnetic bed on my Ender 3 Pro. Adhesion is excellent, though with time printed skirts tend to leave ghosts of themselves embedded in the textured finish. Unsightly, but it might actually improve adhesion to a small extend.Creality warns against operating bed temperatures above 80°C to preserve the magnetic properties of the bed material. A couple of youtubers have been running it at 100°C for ABS and claim it has had no effect on magnetic properties of the bed material. I'm going to be working with ABS for a project soon and wanted to have a spare in case they're wrong. Which of course is impossible. If it's on youtube, it must be correct, right?Edit: I said in the heading that this one is exactly like the original. However, I just tried it on my Ender 3 Pro and it's not quite the same. I installed the bed material on the original magnetic surface and it isn't as strongly magnetic. That's not necessarily a bad thing. The original is too strong and difficult to put back when removing it. It always wants to install a few mm too far to the right because of the way the magnets are aligned, I guess. The new one doesn't have this problem as the attraction isn't as strong. It goes where I want it. It's still strong enough to stay in place and lay very flat.I'm still quite happy with the product.

This build surface really is awesome! I recently dusted off my 3d printer (Velleman Vertex K8400) from being in the garage a year or so just to do a couple of long overdue projects and instantly remembered why I hated it sometimes, messing with the tape, gluesticks, etc.. it was always such a hassle. The machine came originally with a buildtak platform and while it did work, it was just as frustrating. This solved ALL of that... printed 6 models in PLA already, and felt I had to immediately share my experience... The models adhered well with no other adhesion methods, and when they were complete, with an easy motion of removing the upper part and slightly bending, the models came off with no muss, no fuss. I really can't say enough good things about it. I even trimmed the upper and lower parts so they fit my build platform perfectly! Magnetism is very strong IMHO, not sure why some other reviewers have had issues, I couldn't imagine with the way it grips on my machine.

The Creality Ender 3 pro Magnetic Bed does what it says it will. Just be sure you are committed to using this bed for a substantial length of time since total removal of this glued on bed from the underlying metal base isn't so easy.. I have two Ender 3's and only one of these is fitted with the magnetic bed. The other remains bare and ready for any surface I choose to clip on. This gives me the flexibility to choose which printer I will use for each job, I hope this helps. By the way, I'm not particularly wealthy. I just got the second Ender 3 on a great deal.

I love these mats because of their ease of getting prints off. I hate these mats because they leave dimple impressions on the bottom of my prints matching the texture of the mat.Honestly I’ve stoped using this one and the stock one that came with my printer because of the texture impressions. I switched to a removable PEI mat.If you have your bed leveled and z-axis tuned right this does do very well with adhesion and not needing to add glue or hairspray.Cleaning, it will never look as clean and nice as when it was brand new. Seems even with IPA and scrubbing there is always left over residue on the mat.Removing prints is easy.

I am one of the few, it seems, that likes the original printing mat for the Ender 5. I was happy to see what looked like an in-kind replacement. It is not.(1) the texture is different - this mat is smoother.(2) you can't just stick the top mat on the way you can the original. The magnet doesn't work! As as result, you have to either clip the top mat to the bed (which kind of defeats the purpose of having something magnetic) or you have to scrape off the original under-mat that sits on top of the bed. Don't know about anyone else, but mine is stuck on there good and hard. After all the trouble I went to to get my base as solid, braced, and level as possible, I'm not about to beat it up trying to scrape something off of it.So back to the old mat (it's beat up, since it's the one I learned to print on, but at least it sticks!) until I figure out a better option - because this ain't it!
