Thekkiinngg Prusa i3 Mk3 Mk2.5 Double-Sided Pei Textured Powder-Coated buildplate Spring Steel Sheet Heat Bed Platform 3D Printer Printing V2 Version 2

I've only used it for a couple of prints and only with generic PLA but once you dial in the z offset it does a great job of holding onto the print until the print bed cools down and then the print can just be lifted off. Best of all you are specifically NOT supposed to clean the surface. That's an improvement over wiping the PEI sheet down with Windex after every print.

Purchased for my MK2S Prusa, since the PEI sheet began to chip, and I was limited to about 25% of the work area.I originally thought I could clamp the sheet down, but that just introduced about 3mm of flex at the middle. Then, I had the grand idea to add neodymium magnets to the underside of the build plate, and that did the trick. Sticks flat and true.

Excellent performance using this build plate so far for PLA, ColorFabb XT, and Priline PC/CF. Vast improvement for me in terms of bed adhesion and (importantly) durability compared to the stock smooth PEI sheets, which seemed finicky by comparison and which also threatened to delaminate whenever I had a part adhere too well.Haven't tried Nylon yet so I'm not sure whether PVA glue will be required as I found it to be with the smooth PEI. [NYLON ADHESION UPDATE: Adhesion is GREAT with eSun ePA-CF (and no PVA or any other release agent)! I had more trouble with Matterhackers NylonX. I'm hesitant to use PVA glue on this surface so I just used the stock smooth PEI sheet with PVA glue for the latter.]This product ships witha bunch of warnings about how (not) to clean it. They are very stern about not using acetone, so I do plan to steer clear of that. However I've been using isopropyl for light wipe-downs between most prints with no evident effect on the surface other than just cleaning.

I purchased for my Prusa i3 Mk3 which had the smooth PEI coated surface. Why I wanted the textured surface was after printing with NGEN the smooth surface would behave like "ice" after switching back to PLA. It took all kinds of cleaning and heating before I could print with PLA again. I've had good luck with the buidtak like surface on my Ender 3 and when this became available I ordered one. I've been able to go back and forth between PLA, ABS, and NGEN without issues of losing adhesion. The only downside to this build surface is that metal is thinner that the Prusa build plate. Still flexes like spring steel but does feel thin. Otherwise, I've only used a little bit of water to clean this build surface mainly to get rid of dust or fine particles of filament.

I've had this for a few weeks now, it is working great. I don't write very many reviews, but where this is working so well for me I thought I put one in. I changed to this from a PEI sheet on my Prusa Mk3. I was having issues with things sticking to the PEI sheet. One tip that I'll give with this sheet - is keep the first layer very low. Do the calibration down to where it is too low from the picture that comes with the sheet. Then back it off a little bit. That fixed all stickiness issues I had.

Have this mounted onto a Monoprice/Wanho i3 with a 100C magnet sheet off of McMaster-Carr. (so <$60 total for an excellent magnetic print bed) Had to raise my first layer bed and filament temperatures a bit to get prints to stick but after that it works like a champ and I hardly ever have to flex the bed to remove a print unless I'm in a hurry and take it off hot. Touching the bed will create spots that don't stick well, cleaning with Zep removes the oils and restores full adhesion.

Dude... This was a life saver after fight with prusa about when I was going to get my textured plate from them. Took 3 days to get here and worth the wait! It is a touch thinner than stock so you will have to adjust the Z axis, but that is it! ABS, Polycarbonite and PET all work fantastic without warping or coming off the bed! This product is so good that I even replaced the stock plate at work with one of these! Fantastic Product!!!!!

It arrived here quickly from Canada, I was expecting a larger container. I opened it up and installed it. I set my First layer offset and started to print. Polycarbanate carbon fiber strand filament. I just wiped the sheet with some alcohol, and printed. I chose this because the smooth sheets use adhesives to attach the PEI, but this is powder coated. High temp bed setting should have no adverse effect. It works wonderfully.

If you want to print small pieces this is perfect. but if you want something longer than 10 cm.. do not buy. Failed so many prints just because its not even. One side gets super squished and another is barely touching or not at all. But for small parts it's great. so yeah.

Utilisation un peu déroutante au début vu la différence de surface d'avec la feuille de PEI lisse de ma Prusa mais on s'y fait et fonctionne tres bien avec le filament ABS.

Original steel PEI works better. Only sticks with glue stick with a thick first layer, low Z (mine is set minus 150) and at very slow speed. Don't think is an upgrade over the original PEI; no need to buy this..

PLA and PETG stick great. Seems durable and the texture is really nice. Delivered fast. Expensive.
