FYSETC 3D Printing Platform 300x300 Build Plate - Double Sided Textured PEI Spring Steel Sheet: Powder Coated Flexiable Texture Build Surface with Magentic Sticker Comaptible with 3D Printer TAZ 6

I love this item! Once the bed is leveled you get extremely precise/repeatable z-axis performance. The parts stay stuck very well until the bed cools, then easily pops off. Practically no maintenance is required. I just spray it with denaturated alcohol and wipe off with a lint-free towel. I say lint-free because the surface is so rough that it can leave bits of paper towel behind.I print exclusively in PETG, which requires an evenly heated bed for good first-layer adhesion. My first several prints would not stick after about the 3rd layer. I spent the better part of a day tweaking settings until I found the magic recipe. Here's what worked for me. 1. Don't use the included round magnets (mine came with 12). They won't transfer heat evenly to this plate. They will result in hot spots where the magnet touches and cooler spots everywhere else. The result is that PETG will not stick to the cool spots.I ended up using 60-mil thick Plain Magnet Sheets and used 3M super 77 spray adhesive to glue them down to my original bed. 30-mil sheets tend to developed ripples over time with heating and cooling. Also, be sure to preheat the bed and the flexible magnet material before you glue it down. The flexible magnet material expands when hot. 2. Level the bed extremely close to the nozzle. So, previously I would use a piece of paper to gauge the distance. But for this plate, I just slide the print head back and forth in the X-axis and listen for scraping on the plate - then back off very slightly. My nozzle is almost touching some of the texture bumps of the plate. 3. Set a negative offset to the Z-axis in your slicer so that the first layer is pressed into the plate. I'm printing 0.300 mm layers (0.400mm nozzle) so I set a Z offset of -0.150. This makes sure that the first layer is pressed into the texture.Again, this is for PETG. ABS is probably similar. PLA should be much less challenging.

So far I've been using this plate for several weeks printing 24/7 and I haven't had a single issue with adhesion, while my prints pop right off with a little bit of flex. These build plates are supposed to be considered consumables, but I have yet to flip this over to start using the other side. A quick wipe down with IPA every few days is enough to keep this plate working great.I am printing about 90% PETG and 10% PLA, both adhere great and both pop right off after cooling. I have a fan mounted to my printer chassis triggered by a relay upon print completion, and some of my prints literally pop right off after about ten minutes.

worked great

This is a great upgrade, I've already done 6 small prints and 4 large. The adhesion is great, haven't had to clean anything yet and the removing of the prints is easy and quick.

I'm new to 3D printing, so when I broke my glass print bed attempting to remove a print, I had to find a better option. The flexible bed makes it super easy to remove my prints when they are done.Alternatively, if you are struggling with failed adhesion, the material and pattern of this plate will resolve that as well.Mine did not come with individual magnets, or tape pads. The magnetic pad had a self adhesive side, which made installation amazingly simple!Only note to those who are new to 3D printing - Do NOT forget to adjust your Z Offset after installing. It hadn't even occurred to me that this would be so much thinner than the glass bed I was replacing, but it required a significant adjustment to my Z Offset.

* This is my first impression since this just arrived and hasn't used for long. Only time will tell how it holds up.Reviews for this were deceptive. One review gave it a 1 star because it didn't fit their printer. The description says it is 300mm x 300mm. This is the size, which fits perfectly on my heat bed that's 300mm x 300mm. Another reviewer gave it 1 star for being misleading, no magnets included. I can't say they're wrong or not. The description says "Package includes 1PC*steel sheet" but the images show 2 clips, 9 magnets, 9 adhesive pads & 9 kapton tape stickers. My order came with 12 magnets and 4 clips. (Magnets come in a plastic case. The bottom row show the cases removed.) Although, it only came with 9 adhesive pads & 9 kapton stickers for the magnets. So, I think the packaging department needs help... or at least needs to hire someone that can count.I've attached a comparison image of my Prusa MK3 textured sheet next to this FYSETC textured sheet. It's not as smooth as the Prusa's sheet but it works just as well, as you can see from the printed part. The FYSETC sheet feels more like a sandpaper whereas the Prusa sheet is softer to the touch. (This printer I just build and I'm still tuning it so the part doesn't look that great but it gives you an idea of the print's texture coming off this sheet.)

ABS,PLA,PETG all stick well to this surface when printing, when the print finishes and cooled down they just pop right off, or you can flex the sheet and they pop off. Only thing I wish is the other side was not textured. Magnet sheet works well and holds the surface tight to the bed at 110c no problems.

I have been using glass with sugar water on it for the past year.thought I had found the holy Grail after discovering it. However maintenance of reapplying the sticky water and dealing with it every print was an optimal. Not to mention several failed prints. I print with PLA and PTG most often. I wanted to see what all this flexible build hubbub was about.All I can say it is well worth it, you might not think that it'll save you $40 in filament but it will definitely save you $40 in frustration. A couple of the pictures I posted had great bed adherence but you can see that only very little of it was actually touching the bed.The instructions say to keep the bed warm while removing petg considering that I have my bed set to 90° Celsius it's a little warm.
