HICTOPFlexible Steel Platform with PEI Surface and Magnetic Bottom Sheet with 3M 9448A Adhesive 235x235mm for Ender-3 Pro, Ender-3 V2，Ender-3 3D Printers

Not often I spend money, without knowing what it will be like. But I needed a bed that works . I spent over 50 Quid to get this. So this is what I found. I am lucky I Bought an Hictop D3 IDex Printer, And the print bed was level along with the Glass plate. But I did have to use print stick to get the job to sick.. what a pain. And extra expense.So I bought this the use of 3M sheet to stick the magnetic bed to the printer bed shows you no money Spared on this product.Turn on the printer and pre heat your Bed to 60. While waiting, clean the grubby finger prints of the copper coloured Steel Sheet. When 60 Deg temp remove a part of the 3M protective cover. I start from the back making sure the Magnetic plate is level then lay as you pull of the protective layer making sure no trapped air.Job done now you chose which side of the plate to use. Level your Bed and print away yes that easy well to me it is. Any issues use the FB site and ask questions.I used the rough side as it left a fantastic mark on the Base. Of my Job. No glue to remove from my job and. No extra cost. In buying it, saving already, And as yet no spoilt models. Would I say it's worth the money . Hell Yes I would. You will never need another plate Just fleas the side you use after printing I use nail varnish remover. Why ? The filament has an oily residue so just clean the plate. Just love the bed at the moment Doesn't move really sticks together. I promise you won't be disappointed with this purchase.

I recently bought my first 3D printer, an Ender 3 S1, and whilst there is nothing wrong with the stock bed for adhesion/removal, my only complaint is as it’s black I found it annoying when using black filament as I couldn’t see enough definition on the first layer. This HICTOP PEI replacement just went straight and on after some operator error the filament sticks very nicely and comes off easily once the bed has cooled down some. And I can see the 1st layer of black filament nice and clearly.I’m new to all this 3D printing malarkey so when I did auto bed levelling and then z offset adjustment, as this sheet is a little thinner than the stock Ender one, I got a little confused on the z offset adjustment and had the nozzle far too far away so there was no adhesion whilst printing. Pure operator error which when I took a few mins to try and work out what was wrong, I thought to myself what an idiot as it was so obvious what I was doing wrong. Ah well it’s all good now.I didn’t need this but I’m glad I got it as whilst it doesn’t fit in with the black colour scheme of Creality printers, I am more a function over form kind of person anyway and the contrast looks good to me.5 stars.

For a while I used glass bed as I loved how smooth it was and found it better than stock. This has taken all that excess weight off my printer and the quality specially on direct drive has improved massively. Printing in pla do this no stock aid required plus being metal it allows my feeler gauges to sit magnetised on all four corners for easy bed levelling. So far really impressed. Any questions just ask

This was like night and day. My prints were just sticking haha. Had a lit of issues with the stock glass bed on the ender 3 v2. It had a massive dip in the middle which caused me a right headache. The spring steel sheet is lighter, much better adhesion, prints just come off once cool and if you are in a hurry they can just be popped off by bending the sheet.The magnet sheet was 3m and hasn't budged even when using higher temps for petg (about 70c). Only downside is you need to get it right the first time as you are not getting it off easily haha

The glass bed on my ender 3 v2 was fine, stuff stuck fast to it while printing but when it came to remove the models it was almost impossible!This bed was easy to attach, and an absolute pleasure to use, things stick well when the bed is heated, and when it cools they literally slide right off.it also leaves a really nice almost glittery effect to the bottom of prints due to the texture, which I find adds to the final finish of prints.
