Amazon Customer: perfect replacement

Adam Peterson: As every new 3d printer learns your print bed is going to take a beating before you figure out how to properly level your bed and set your z-offset. As a result my print bed had several deep scratches and gouges in it. This was an affordable replacement that was identical to the stock bed. I have made several prints now with this bed and it has great adhesion, minimal warping, and is overall a great print bed. Even if your current bed has no issues its great to have a backup on hand.

kelseybobelsey: 10/10 would recommend. I've had this print bed for about a week and have already completed a couple of larger prints and several small pieces using a flexible TPU filament.
I'd been limping along using the original bed surface that came with my Ender3 but that had gotten hopelessly warped over time. The first thing I tried to replace it with was one of the flexible magnetic ones, which while promising in theory, was actually just was a waste of money.
This glass bed though, is excellent. It seems to heat up evenly and is actually perfectly level. My prints have adhered beautifully and come off cleanly.
The only complaint I have is that it didn't come with clips to hold it in place. Because it's thicker than other print surfaces my old clips won't work; I had to scrounge around for ones that would fit and am currently using a variety of mismatched ones.

DoranDoran: Was having adhesion issues with my stock Ender 3 bed, so I decided to upgrade to a glass bed. Right on the first print, this one worked great! The print stuck to the build plate so well my spatula slipped and gouged my finger as the print finally popped off because I was pushing it so hard! (I would not recommend trying to scrape prints off this thing, big surprise I know. I only used the freezer method after that, which works quite well.)

The problem is, getting the plastic residue off the surface is basically impossible. After 10+ large prints, the bed is covered in a pretty thick layer of residue, and now the filament won't stick to it. I wiped it off with alcohol after every print as you're supposed to, tried washing it with soap and water, and even tried soaking and scrubbing it with Goo Gone, and still, the residue remains.

The good news is, I followed another reviewer's advice and tried printing on the non-textured side. Worked like a charm! The prints adhere well, stay in place, and pop right off with an almost concerning level of ease, no finger-gouging or freezing required. They leave behind basically no trace, as well. For that reason, I'd give this bed a...

Frizzy: I had some issues with my original Ender 3 Pro build surface (some sort of polypropylene I believe). While I had plenty of prints that were adhering well (in both PLA and PETG), I had plenty more that had curled corners or came off completely during the print. What I found was that no matter how well I leveled the bed, there were always some areas that prints would not stick well to. It was after I got a CR touch bed leveling probe that I found that the original build surface/magnetic sheet was not very flat and had more than 0.2mm of variance. Additionally, I had one large print that actually lifted the build surface off of the magnetic bed instead of losing adhesion (though the corners were still curled). That is when I decided to purchase this glass build plate.

First off, this plate is very flat. With proper bed leveling and gantry tramming, I could get a bed mesh with a variance of 0.08mm. That alone let me print much larger areas without the worry that part of it would not adhere well. Also, the amount of thermal mass this plate provides means that while it does take a while to heat up, it also stays at a very consistent and even temperature during...

matt: As some of the comments mention you must clean the bed and this is true. I have had no adhesion problems at all. One the bed has cooled the print pops right off. Thanks creality for another amazing product.
