Toaiot 3D Printing Buildplate Steel Spring Steel Plate 230 x150mm/9.0x5.9 inch with PEI+Magnetic Sticker B Surface Printing Hotbed Parts for Makerbot Replicator QIDI X-Pro Creator Pro

As this was a gift I am unable to give a complete review but it was received with thanks so I presume all is ok!

Firstly I don’t do reviews normally but in this case oh yes ………No messing about with a aerosol, no blue tape, no glass to clean and re-fit, no more lack of adhesion, no more warping, just a joy of printing, have tried countless ways of printing on and never seemed to get it just right always with the niggling issues, and in the this case problem sorted, Question :——- why can’t manufacturers fit this printing method as standard. Answer :———— to make even more more from extras needed to print………. Buy it now you won’t regret it ………… highly recommended 😁😁😁😁😁

Much easier to use than the blue sheets

Decided to take the plunge and change to a flexible build surface for my Flashforge Creator Pro 2. I was having problem removing prints off of the standard build surface. This was so easy to fit, spent some time levelling the bed before printing. I have printed several items without any issue and they just lifted of the bed without any issues. I am so please with this that I have ordered one for my other printer.

I used it for flashforge creator 2, it works perfectly.

This metal plate is even better then I expected. Very strong magnet and a perfect surface to 3d print on. Quality seems better then I was expecting for the price! This is hands down the single most best upgrade I’ve made so far.

The Flashforge Creator Pro is a great workhorse of a 3D printer - but the fixed build platform can result in attempting to wield scrapers and similar tools from various angles *inside* the printer, which is difficult. Also there's only a single build surface.Enter the spring steel plate with PEI - peel off the old surface and remove the glue, stick down the magnet , peel off the film, drop the plate on the magnet, level the bed and away you go.The first layer sticks perfectly, the model just sits there looking pristine as it prints when done pop the plate off, let it cool and the print just pops off the surface. BUTDon't try this with TPU - in fact research every new filament for suitability with PEI because PEI is *soft* and easily torn by an aggressively sticky filament like TPU.So now I have two of these - one has PEI on it and the one I wrecked with TPU has one of the spare FlashForge branded buildtak sheets. I have a choice of build surfaces *brilliant*.Oh yes - getting the PEI off. Freeze at -20C for an hour, yank the PEI off in one smooth fast pull, dump the spring steel plate in hot water and work the glue off with your thumbs - it doesn't stick when wet!

This has transformed my printing experience to one of joy. The steel plate sticks to the magnetic surface very well. I turned up the temp on the first layer a little bit and can now use my entire plate surface to print large items. Once it's done let it cool and then remove the plate and the print pops off easily with a slight bend in the plate. Put it back down and you're ready to go for your next print. Note that I bought this for a Flashforge Creator Pro and the plate is smaller than the build plate though slightly bigger than the printable volume so works great!
