    In this video I talk about different surface material options for the Ender series print bed and we will exchange the Ender 3 v2 glass plate for a magnetic PEI coated spring steel surface, which is super awesome and sticky while parts get off it so easily.

    Hi, first I would like to say that I love your videos and how you make everything look so easy. I had multiple problems having my material stick to my glass bed , but found that the pla I was using was not good. Now I have issues removing pieces off my glass bed .
    Thanks for all your videos so far. Keep them coming!!

    @soggynode Pƙed 3 lety +4

    I use a similar build surface I bought from TH3D last year. It works well and I like the fact I can pick between smooth or textured surfaces depending on the print. The TH3D sheets replaced a Creality PEI spring steel sheet that I thrashed printing PETG. A worn or damaged spring steel sheet makes an excellent mouse pad BTW :)

  • @parad0cks
    @parad0cks Pƙed 3 lety +4

    Great video :D
    This surface has been a game changer for me, perfect adhesion and easy to release the prints, as shown in the video.
    If you're considering it, don't hesitate, just get one, you won't be disappointed.
    Just remember to clean it with the highest concentrate alcohol that you can get hold of as often as possible, especially if you touch the plate.

    Great video as always, Daniel!

    I have been using glass build plates for awhile. They definitely are better than the stock plastic build plates that came with the printers. I like using them (glass plates) and have not had any really issues with them. I would like to try this plate and see if there really is a big difference between them. Great video as well. I love all your vids. They are very informative and you do them from the heart. Thanks for all the great vids.

  • @Francois_L_7933

  • @chasingsomething3735
    @chasingsomething3735 Pƙed 2 lety

    I have found with my ender 3 v2 glass bed, that just allowing the plate to cool to room temp releases the parts with out any struggle at all. I've often returned home or woken to a finished print sitting on the bed as if it had never been stuck to it in the first place.

  • @ferd352
    @ferd352 Pƙed 3 lety +4

    Great video as always, I would add that take the opportunity before you put down the magnetic layer to check the screws holding the four bed mounts because if any are loose it won't be so easy to tighten then as you'll need to cut into the new layer for access. I've stuck with my Creality glass bed for over a year and it's been pretty good, replacing the usual clips with picture-frame clips and the size loss is under a millimetre in height and just a couple in depth, but having had more and more issues with prints sticking far too well to the glass the past few months, I might give one of the flexible sheets a go.

    • @Crosslink3D

  • @KevinGroninga3D
    @KevinGroninga3D Pƙed 3 lety

    I'm brand new to 3D printing and have a new Ender 3 v2 (with the glass build plate). Right off the bat I had problems with that glass plate. Nothing would stick! So I bought the other Ender mat you showed. BTW, my version of that mat is a two-piece. I stuck the sticky side the the aluminum bed plate and then the mat sticks to that magnetically. Well, that build plate is way better than the glass plate, but I've noticed in some cases the nozzle would slightly melt or scratch that soft surface. I've been doing my research on these PEI build plates. Seems this would be the best of both worlds. Magnetic (so no clips), flexible for part removal and more importantly somewhat tougher and having a surface that does a better job of holding that all import first layer. Would really like to try the build plate you featured in this episode.

  • @dleland71

  • @MisterkeTube
    @MisterkeTube Pƙed 3 lety

    I currently print on a mirror on my Ender 3 Pro (except for PETG which bonded to the glass of mirror #1). PLA sticks well to glass simply cleaned with some alcohol and with the bed temp at 60C. And after cooling the parts are released without needing any force. For PETG I still use the original flex-surface of the Ender 3 Pro, but that is starting to show its age, so I could definitely use a new surface. So, the magnetic PEI sheet would be very welcome.

    I'd love to try the spring steel build plate. I currently use the sticky backed sheet and over time, air bubbles develop underneath and cause an uneven print surface. I never thought to use the build tak without sticking it down. I might just try that.

    I was concerned with the flatness of my E3V2 bed, without the glass I don’t know how good it is. I don’t have a BLTouch but recently installed Jyers Marlin which has manual bed levelling for a 3x3 or 5x5 matrix so I think I will try this plate, thanks for recommending it so well. With the glass bed I never needed a bed levelling system, never had any issues and only checked it when I removed the glass bed but Jyers opens up the possibility of a different bed.

    PEI sheet is a must have when printing ABS. I have never imagined that kind of drastic change especially using cheap filament with harder colors. But beware PEI coating could be fragile for PETG and misleveled beds.

    That heavier build plate looks a lot better than the stock magnetic surface on my Ender 3 Pro. The plate underneath mine is slightly warped, I can tune it to print reasonably well on small areas but larger prints don’t work well. I tried using a glass plate covered in painter’s tape but I wasn’t much more successful. A sturdier, firmer plate with the build-tak-like surface might just do the trick!

    on my ender 3 pro i switched from magnetic to glass bed and never looked back.
    i print on the uncoated side, no adhesives necessary at all, just keep the glass very clean.
    cooldown-time might be a factor, using water speeds up the process and lets you easily pop the objects from the bed.
    definitely going to try the metal plate!

    PEI sheets are fine, still using it for years on the prusa but the ender3 max and cr 10 V2 heatbed are not really flat and have a recess in the middle. So this will get transformed to the metal sheet on top. You had to make some makeshift to get it flat.
