FYSETC3D Printer Flashfoge Creatorr Pro 2 Build Plate 230 x150mm/9.0x5.9 inch PEI Spring Steel Surface Removable Print Bed Hotbed Cover with Base for Replicatr QI X-Pro Creatorr Pro

No more heating/scraping to remove PLA prints. When the plate cools down, I just lift the right or left corner and the print pops off with a smooth finish on the bottom.Note that the thickness of the magnet & plate combination is larger than the OEM build plate and may require shorter leveling springs.I heated the build platform to make it easier to peel off the OEM plate using a plastic putty knife.I used Orange Oil and a plastic putty knife to remove the glue residue. After cleaning the platform with alcohol, I placed a couple of 1-2-3 blocks along one edge of the platform as a stop, placed the magnet against the blocks, centered it and used a car window tint installation squeegee to press the magnet onto the platform while removing the release paper.I leveled the build platform and calibrated the Z-axis for both extruders.Note that for the FF CP 2, it heats the platform first and then the extruders so it wasn't necessary to preheat the build plate due to the magnet layer.

This has made my life in printing in ABS so much better. No more tape and hairspray.I am printing with a FlashForge Creator Pro. Just place Magnetic piece on bare build plate. set PEI metal sheet on magnet (remove the film of course) yellow side up. z-Adjust and relevel buildplate and print tom your hearts content. Using rafts this makes removal no choir at all, simply wait for surface to cool, remove the PEI sheet, flex a little and the builds come right off, no scrapping or nothing.This is extremely handy in a close cased system like the Flashforge.ONLY negative I have is the first time I used it the magnetic pad actually partially stuck to the FEI plate, tearing the magnetic pad slightly in a few places.

I am fairly new to 3D printing, and based on everything I've been reading, adhesion is a major problem for most of us. I added borosilicate glass and tried hairspray, but had only about 20% success, so I tried 6" wide painter's tape on the glass. If adding purple glue stick, I had almost 100% success. Almost too successful; the adhesion was so good that even when allowing the print to completely cool, they stuck so well to the tape that I was gouging the tape to remove my prints. At $22.95 for a roll of tape, that seemed like an extravagant waste to me. I was watching a webinar and saw the instructor pop a print off of a flex plate effortlessly, and I was sold!I have been researching for a few weeks, and finding some pretty expensive flex plates, and nothing specifically sized for my FlashForge Creator Pro. I found the FYSETC lising on Amazon, and at the price of $22.95, thought it was a worthwhile experiment. It arrived 2 days ago, and we installed it right away. There were 4 binder clips included, and had me scratching my head a bit, but I have seen that many people are not installing the magnet sheet, and just clipping the flex plate on. Nice that they are included.A couple of tips on installation; If you have a Buildtak type of sticker on your heated bed, preheat the bed before trying to remove it - just be careful not to burn yourself! We pried up one corner, then carefully pulled it back using pliers. Use alcohol to clean the bed thoroughly of all adhesive to eliminate lumps and bumps under the magnet.Be sure to relevel! After all of the man-handling with removing the sticker, our bed was WAY our of level. After removing the protective film on the flex plate, clean it with alcohol to remove any residue or greasy fingerprints. I used my standard temps that I was using for printing on glass, and the prints are beautiful! The bottom is smooth and glass-like - no need to sand at all. I am finding that the surface is so slick that a very light coat of purple glue stick is helping rather than increasing my bed temps.The only negative I would say is that a flex plate that is about 5mm larger in both directions would be preferable. I would definitely buy this again - even thinking about sending one to my son for his 3D printer!

After a few years, I've grown tired of replacing my 3D printer build plate surface on a regular basis and dealing with the occasional print removal difficulties. While I got quite a lot of use out of some of the materials I've tried (Buildtak, for example), that stuff just keeps on getting more expensive, it still wears out and it doesn't really make print removal easier. I was ready to try a different approach and wanted to give one of these flexible removable plate systems a try. I did some research...read some reviews and finally settled on this product by FYSETC.It has a PEI sheet adhered to one side and is bare metal (with an etched grid pattern) on the opposite side. It is flexible enough to aid with print removal, but it is stiff enough to stand up to a lot of use. It does not look or feel cheap. I attached the plate (PEI side up) to my build plate using a couple of binder clips. I DID NOT use the included sheet of self-adhesive magnetic material.I didn't want to put up a review of this product until after I had the chance to use it. So far, I have printed, maybe, 50 pieces primarily using PLA with this plate and have had zero issues. I didn't do anything in particular to prep the plate for printing with PLA other than wiping it with rubbing alcohol and allowing it to dry every so often (maybe once every 20 prints). The printed parts stuck just fine during printing and came off with minimal effort after the plate cooled. I recently printed a couple pieces on this plate using PETG filament and have had no issues either. Prior to printing with PETG, though, I did apply a light mist of hairspray to the plate to assist with print removal. I applied the hairspray per recommendations I found on 3D printing forums due to the possibility of the PETG over-adhering to the plate. I don't know if the hairspray was really necessary...but I did take that extra step to avoid damaging the plate. Your mileage may vary. Either way, this plate has lived up to the advertising so far and I am very happy with it. I would recommend it.
