Creality Ender 3 Glass Bed Upgraded Build Surface Plate, 235x235x4mm

Note: The Ender 3 V3 SE wasn't listed in the supported models, but I can confirm that this bed is compatible with it. If you plan to use the official clips to mount this glass bed, you *must* remove the magnetic layer on top of the heated bed plate. This step is kind of a pain, and because it's glued on, there's really no going back. Once that is removed, this just sits on top and is held down with clips. If you plan to use regular binder clips to hold the glass bed on, then you might be able to leave the magnetic layer on, though I'm not sure if that is ideal since it's an extra layer that has to be heated.Was having adhesion issues with the stock magnetic bed (not strictly the printer's fault as it's setup in the basement where it's pretty chilly in the winter). Was having to crank up the bed temp as well as increase the line width to 150% to get the initial layer to adhere properly. Even with an enclosure to keep the temp more stable, the initial layers still needed to be larger/hotter to stick properly.Not anymore! I'm now printing at recommended temperatures, and the initial layers go down smoothly and stay down.This bed also seems to be a lot more uniform than the stock magnetic one as confirmed by the auto level results.This adhesion does come with a slight cost: You will definitely need to wait for the bed to completely cool before removing the prints. Once cooled, they pop right off, but while the bed is still warm, your prints might as well be permanently fused.

Buy this now you will be thankful all enders should have a glass bed to make the prints on

This solved my adhesion issues, however it was too good. I was using plastic scrapers to remove my prints even after cooling. But turning it upside down was a game changer. Cleaned throughly, this now works fantastic. At print temperature (60°C) its holds strong. When cooled, my print releases. Added bonus, the bottom is a smooth surface. Try is as designed first, but if they stick too good, flip over, and try it. CLEAN THROUGHLY.

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 printing.Where things are not so great is that I found that the coated side works pretty well for PETG, but not so well for PLA. Flipping the plate over to the uncoated side, PLA stuck fairly well. Adding some glue stick to the print area improved the bed adhesion even more during printing, but only for PLA. PETG really did not like sticking to the bare glass and had subpar adhesion after adding the glue stick. I know there are plenty accounts of PETG fusing with glass build plates and being impossible to remove, but I had the opposite problem (but I also didn't print with the nozzle too close to the bed).Overall, I think this build surface is not the best option for PLA, but is a great option if using PETG. As I expand the materials I try to print with (ASA and ABS coming soon), I will be sure to see how this plate works out! For the time being, I have found that PEI is still the best option for consistent PLA bed adhesion.

I had an issue with builds sticking to board or not sticking. This helped with the temperature of the surface and so forth. It worked for my issue.

Works great for me. Good value.

Seems to be better than the stock glass.
