Petg sticks too good. I didn't think that was possible, but apparently parts of the print adhered better than the coating adhered to the steel plate. My suggestion would be to try and remover the print very slowly and carefully. In some places I was able to restick the coating down for the next print. As you can see in the picture, there's a couple of spots where the coating is gone. This was after about 4 very large prints. Bed temp 70degs C.

This is the perfect replacement for my ender 3 ke. It's works exactly as the OEM plate that came with my 3d printer. Prints stick to the surface without have to use hair spray or glue stick. Prints are also super easy top remove. If left on the printer and cooled print slides off like butter.

This PEI plate works perfectly. I removed the flimsy original bed and put down this spring steel PEI plate. It fit perfectly. I releved the bed because it's a slightly different width than the original. My prints stick wonderfully without any fuss at all. I got back to the printer long after the print was finished so the bed was already cool. The parts on the bed were loose, I didn't even need to bend the sheet, they just slid off as I tried to lift the bed off the magnet.This bed is textured on both sides. I would have preferred a textured on one side and smooth on the other, but I use textured almost exclusively anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

I grabbed this because I ruined the original. I'm sure it was still usable, but in trying to make some adjustments, I made something a little too loose on my z-axis and caused the nozzle to absolutely dig into the original plate permanently affixing a chunk of it with the pink filament I was trying to use. A lot of it flaked off, but what I didn't want in future prints was either the shape that dug into the plate imbedded on the bottom of future projects or the pink to slowly come loose and adhere to future prints. I'm sure that this wouldn't bother others (I've seen some OG Ender 3 build plates, and some of them have been absolutely FILTHY), but I'm not one of those people. As such, I needed a new build plate.This plate is awesome and works great. The primary reason I went with this plate over other listings was because it affords me one more mistake like the one above and I will still have a functional plate on the other side. Reasonably priced and works great...especially now that I've figured out how to print successfully with my latest 3d printer (an Ender 3 V3 KE).

We ordered this to use as a replacement for a build plate on my Creality Ender 3 V3, great printer by the way. This looks and fits just like the original that came with the machine. The only difference I can see is that this plate is textured on both sides, which to me is a plus. It does not come with a magnetic plate, but if your printer already has one installed this is a great replacement or back-up. I leveled it and ran three benchies, all with zero issues. They adhered well to the bed with no additives needed, just like the original. So, my opinion on this build plate is ‘perfect’.

So far I am liking this build plate. The prints stick just fine and flex off when its done. You will need to set your Z offset for the desired amount of squish on your first layer. I set it lower on textured plates to get a real nice texture with minimum to zero layer lines on the bottom.

Got the double-sided Textured PEI plate. I have used a lot of cheap magnetic build plates in my day so I wasn't expecting much from this one. Usually the cheaper textured PEI plates are either not powder coated PEI (they usually use a textured PEI sheet and adhesive which just isn't the same) which is a huge plus in textured plates or the powder coating is very uneven. This is neither. The plate is powder coated and, to be frank, the powder coating job is almost as good as something from Wham Bam which is the defacto leader of the bed plate space and has been since their creation. I have had no issues with adhesion and the coating is super durable since it is powder coated. Honestly this is such a steal, just get one.
