Comgrow Textured/Smooth Double Sided PEI Sheet 235mmx235mm for Creality Ender 3/Ender 3 Pro/Ender 3 V2/Ender 3 S1/Ender 3 S1 Pro/Ender 3 Neo/Ender 3 V2 Neo/Voxelab Aquila 3D Printer

If you can suffer through the trial and error of getting the right temps and bed leveling the results are great and consistent time after time afterwards. Ive found that having my bed temperature at an intense temperature (relatively speaking) of 80 C it begins to stick, PLA and PETG seem to stick to the bed at this temp. If I hadnt known this fact I would probably thought this was defective because literally nothing would stick before that.

Used on my heavily modified Ender 3 Pro, this is by far the BEST bed Ive ever used. The original magnetic bed I had replaced within the first day of having my printer for a glass bed. However, the glass bed never seemed to get great adhesion with PLA. Id have to constantly use hairspray, and even then, it would still warp off the bed. From day one with this textured PEI sheet its been printing flawlessly. Heats up super quick, flexes prints right off, and perfect adhesion. I cannot recommend this enough, it is AMAZING.

Started out great, but appears to have a hard time releasing smaller and thinner parts. Printed several larger pieces with petg that released nicely, but then printed a smaller, long piece as a replacement part for a project, the thicker part came off, but where it got thin wouldnt release and ended up taking a small chunk out of the coating when it finally released.

Super easy to use. Just clean and stick the magnet on. Havent had a single adhesion issue, even on tiny parts with no glue

Ive seen a lot of hit or miss reviews on these beds but its been great for me so far. PLA seems to stick a lot better than creality glass bed without needing any adhesive or cleaning. I like the finish parts get on the smooth side a lot too. Just be sure to read the instruction booklet if you plan on using other materials like PETG. You can ruin this bed quite easily without the proper care. The only downside so far is that it seems like the PEI isnt cut to match the metal and it can be sharp on the edges. Only a minor issue.

Aside from the ripped up smooth pei edge, this looks a nice build sheet. An obvious defect direct from the factory shows poor QA. So I cant trust that it wont worsen.

Abs will not stick at all. Very disappointed

When I first started FDM printing I was getting SOOO frustrated with bed adhesion issues. It seemed like print after print after print was failing due to it coming unstuck. I tried the hairspray solution, glue sticks, specialized print adhesives and nothing worked great. Then I tried PEI plates and my world changed. Prints are so much easier to get to stick. I mostly use PETG and PLA and both hold well, and just as importantly are easy to get off the plate! Pull the plate off the magnet, let it cool a little, give it a slight bend, and prints pop right off. This plate fits the Ender 3s 235x235 bed perfectly. I only print on the textured side, so I cant say anything about the smooth side. One thing that you do need to be aware of while printing on a textured plate is the side facing down will be a mirror image of the plate texture. You will not be able to read the letters and numbers on the bottom of your Benchy. And you need to be aware when deciding how to slice, as you dont want a side that is supposed to be visible being totally rough. Also, be aware that your actual temperature at the build plate is going to be different than the temp indicated or selected. The heat has to travel through that big magnetic sheet and it cools it down between 5-10 degrees. As long as you are aware, you can adjust the temp up to compensate easily. I cannot recommend this enough!

PLA does not stick to the sheet. I ended up going back to OEM glass.

Perfect adhesion with no glue every time
