Features:

  • Experience Pro-hesion- Our state of the art carbon and silicone build surface provides the best adhesion in the market. Once the hotbed cools back to room temperature, the carbon-silicone base will release the model which can be easily removed by hand.
  • This new glass plate can be placed on top of any existing hotbed surface and be held in place with simple clips
  • As the hotbed heats to higher temperatures, it provides even more adhesion. Perfect for those ABS prints with difficult warping issues.
  • This size is perfectly suitable for the Ender-3
  • This is the official Creality 3D store. All products have been tested extensively with all Creality brand products to insure increases in quality and no sacrifice in safety or performance.
A fantastic Upgrade!!!

My original Ender 3 stock bed surface was too easy to damage and would make it harder to level because it would sag lower in the middle. This glass bed makes leveling so much easier. Plus with the special surface coating, my prints stick very well and are a breeze to remove if you let it cool down. If you do that, it releases it's grip enough to usually just pop off by hand. FYI, you will want to have some medium size binder clips to hold the glass to the metal bed. If it starts to seem like prints are not sticking as well just clean it with rubbing alcohol and a paper towel. Also, purchasing your Creality printers and upgrades from the official Creality 3D Amazon Shop is the smart thing to do. The service and support is fantastic and they respond to email usually by the next business day. Just remember that there is about 12 hours difference from China to New York. When I first got my Ender 3 built, one of my fans was noisy at startup and would sound normal after a couple of minutes of warmup. I emailed Creality and after sending them a cell phone video of the noise problem, they shipped a new fan out to me!!!!

Worthwhile upgrade.

I got this to deal with the tendency of the original ENDER 3 build surface being warped, inconsistent and difficult to get trammed properly. After fighting with that original surface, I am now having to "Relearn" printing on this printer. The surface is FLAT and if you follow the instructions about allowing the prints to cool before trying to remove, the prints pop right off. This is some of the best money that I have spent. The prints come off the build surface "smooth as glass"! It is true that you must be much more careful as this surface is unforgiving of being rammed by the print head or ravaged by the scraper. It is very important to allow the print time to cool, it comes off the surface without a problem (so far).

Not magic or anything, but works well with some work even for advanced materials.

I see a lot of reviews complaining about inconsistencies in adhesion and over-adhesion causing damage. Most of them don't say a lot about their settings or materials. If you are just printing PLA (but why?) then you are probably fine just laying material right on the surface. For anything else you will need to figure out what temperature works and add something as an intermediate layer. Using Elmer's purple glue stick I have very good success with PLA, ABS, and PETG as well as Nylon and Polycarbonate with considerably heavier glue layers. Obviously an all-metal hot end is a must for those last two. I have been using an E3D V6 and it has worked beautifully. The surface finish and convenient trick where it releases as it cools is not lost using a thinner layer of glue but with the 7-8 layers necessary for Nylon and PC you might have to work a bit to get it loose. Surface finish remains good even then though. Mine arrive neatly packed and is absolutely flat. I did use binder clips for a few prints but after running it at 110 C for a while it seems to have stuck rather securely to the lower half of the magnetic sticker that comes stock on the Ender 3 Pro and I haven't seen any reason to try to pry it off. Also worth noting is that this is soda-lime glass, not borosilicate.

Great upgrade

Works great and holds prints well. I don’t need to use anything to have pla stick to this glass surface. It’s easy to clean with some isopropyl alcohol. One side is perfectly smooth glass and the other has a dot matrix pattern, both work well depending on how you want the bottom surface of your print to turn out.

Better than the floppy magnet

The magnetic bed was one of the major contributing factors to my getting the Ender 3 Pro over the standard Ender 3, however let me assure you the magnet bed isn't all that great. It's somewhat handy for removing the odd stuck print, but a spatula easily solves that problem. I was having to reapply gluestick constantly, leaving my prints with nasty, oily bottoms. The glass will not magically fix all your problems. You're not going to toss this onto your printer and magically see perfect adhesion. What the glass brings to the table is precision. The magnetic bed is floppy, has no fixed attachment point, relies on the faulty beds being perfectly flat, and will squash with pressure, while the glass is rigid, fixed, and regular. So lay it onto your bed, use binder clips or two-way tape to hold it in place, get that bed SUPER level, make sure your first layer goes on SLOW (I do 50% speed) and HOT (I do 215 degrees F [PLA] and parts fan off). I was unable to big, multi-file prints without gobs of gluestick on the magnet. Now I've been printing upwards of 30 copies at a time without warping or peeling up, and with great smooth bottoms. It will not fix all your problems just by tossing it on, but with familairity, effort, and altered settings/slicers, this might be the missing link to getting your intended results.

For a $200 3-D printer, it exceeds expectations.

It takes a hell of a learning curve to use this thing effectively, but if you're willing to take the lumps to get it right, you can do some amazing stuff with a printer that cost a mere $200. Don't buy this if you're not willing to strip it down to the bare bones and rebuild based on various very educational YouTube videos dedicated to making this device work correctly. If you're mechanically adept though, following these videos will give you a very capable 3-D printer that exceeds the performance of machines costing 3 times as much.

All round great product.

Build quality is great, very well packaged upon delivery. Prints stick very well due to the textured surface, the fine dimples if you will hold the prints well while the bed is hot. Once the bed cools the prints are very easy to take off. I’d buy this again if I had another printer.

Great bed upgrade

The glass is nice it is not smooth it has a textured surface on the print side. I couldn't use this on my ender 3 unless I removed the plastic layer(the sticker that covers the whole stock heated bed it has the ender logo) the reason for this is because I had adjusted the bed as far down as it would go and the hot end was hitting the glass once I removed the factory sticker on the hot bed I got the clearance I needed. Yes it does have a better finish with the glass bed,I spray a little rave Hairspray on bed every other print with no issues with bed adhesion.

Doesn't release print as easily the Anycubic Ultrabase

I have no problems with flatness or first layer adhesion, only complaint is that finished prints (large and small) stick far more solidly than on the ulstrabase on my anycubic i3 mega. This print surface is still a whole lot better than the buildtak-like surface that came with my ender3. overall I'm happy with thi=e purchase.

Works great. Fixes warped aluminum bed.

UPDATE: 4/5/2019: I have been unable to fully clean it even with rubbing alcohol so prints still had trouble sticking to it. which is fine for me because I just stick the old plastic bed ontop and it works great. When i first ordered this it arrived warped, but creality contacted me and sent me a new one. The new one is perfectly flat and the coating on it helps the prints to stick. Be sure to wash the bed with rubbing alcohol to clean it off before you use it for the first time or it will not stick.
