Know before you buy
Yes, this 235x235 mm plate is compatible with several Creality Ender models that share the same build volume. Always verify your printer's specific bed dimensions before installation.
Because the plate is made of flexible spring steel, you can simply remove it from the magnetic base and gently bend it. The print will pop off the textured surface without the need for scrapers or tools.
Generally, no. The frosted PEI powder coating is designed to provide excellent natural adhesion for materials like PLA, PETG, and TPU. If you are printing materials with high warping tendencies, like ABS, you may occasionally need an adhesive aid.
The kit includes a high-temperature magnetic base that adheres to your printer's heat bed. This ensures the spring steel plate stays securely in place during high-speed printing.
Wipe the surface down with 90% or higher isopropyl alcohol between prints to remove oils and dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, which can damage the textured coating.
