Description
The PEI build plate from Creality consists of two parts:
- A powder-coated PEI plate
- A magnetic base plate
When put together, these parts result in a robust, magnetic and heat-resistant flexible plate with very good adhesion.
The powder-coated PEI plate is heat-resistant up to 200 ° C.
When printing, the coating on the plate ensures excellent adhesion, but the magnetic base plate allows the model to be removed simply by bending the plate.

READ THIS FIRST (good product but the product page is missing important information)
Rated with 1 out of 5 stars.
I'm leaving a one star review, in spite of the high quality of the product, to provide important information to people who would check for bad reviews before buying. Also, hopefully, to get the attention of the 3D Jake store, so they also put a notice on the product page. If this happens, I will happily correct this review to reflect my opinion, and my opinion only.
Both one star reviews with a comment mention the absolute lack of adherence of this PEI sheet. Coming from a glass bed, I had the exact same problem.
So I am leaving this review to explain what are the symptoms, why it happens, and how to mitigate or solve it.
When using a glass bed surface, the glass remains exactly flat (minus scratches and such) over time. However, with some low cost printers, such as mine (CR10 v1, which has the exact same dimensions as the v2, so this product fits it), the metal bed, being regularly heated, collapses slightly over time. Not by much, but with fine engineering such as 3D printing, a few fractions of a millimeter are enough for the nozzle to be too high, relatively to the bed, and this can in turn cause problems.
With a glass surface, the glass will not be making contact with the metal bed surface, and the air pocket will therefore drastically limit the heat transfer from the resistance under the metal bed to the glass. This is a symptom of this problem, and can be easily tested: since the glass is see-through, place a very small drop of water in the middle of the metal surface of the bed, and place the glass on top. You can estimate how much distance there is between the bottom metal surface and the top glass cover by observing the deformation of the water droplet as you put the glass in place. Thoroughly clean any water left over from both the metal and the glass to avoid subsequent corrosion.
With an adhesive surface, covered by a magnetically attached PEI sheet, such as this product, the metal surface collapse causes a different problem. In this case, both the adhesive surface and the PEI sheet will follow the metal surface exactly, and the heat transfer will be optimal. But, unlike with a glass surface, since the metal bed is slightly concave, so will the magnetic adhesive, and the PEI sheet be. This height difference between the edges and the center of the bed is enough for the nozzle to be too far (in the Z axis) from the bed in its middle (in both X and Y axis), and for the filament not to stick, even after following the correct bed leveling procedure (using the four knobs at each corner and probing once for every corner).
The mitigation for this problem is to account for the concavity of the surface. When leveling the bed, a fifth probe has to be taken in the middle, after the four corners, and the bed has to be lifted the same amount (important!) at every corner until the center is making proper contact. Then, the slicer has to be configured to account for the concave printing surface.
The solution to this problem is to either replace the metal surface of the bed, or fill the concave depression with a heat resistant and conducting material until the bed is flat again. However, this has to be done BEFORE installing this product, or you will only be able to mitigate the problem.
As for the product, when correctly installed and configured (according to the notes above), it is a five star product, I am extremely happy with it.

Rated with 5 out of 5 stars.
A gold record I can say. With the correct setting of the print and the bed, it adheres very well to PETG, which is what I work with the most, as well as PLA and others. Much depends, as already mentioned above, on the tested print settings.
Due to clumsiness, the bed got too close to the nozzle and the nozzle made a pattern in the plate, which is now visible on almost every print - the plate will have to be replaced, but unfortunately I don't know if it can be obtained separately, without a magnetic base. Maybe someone knows?Was this rating helpful? (0) (0)

Rated with 5 out of 5 stars.
Bought to go on my CR10s PRO V2. Working really well with ABS+ in a makeshift enclosure (printing VORON parts). Have been able to stop using a brim and back off my Z Offset and the parts are printing beautifully. Thus far I would say this is a super upgrade for your Creality.

Rated with 2 out of 5 stars.
Quality control on Creality's part is shockingly bad as always. Mine has some factory worker's fingerprints permanently embedded into the PEI sheet, where they were manually holding the plate. Bed adhesion is fine, but the surface is much grittier than what you would find on a Prusa PEI textured plate. It is also single sided, so don't try printing on the smooth side.

Creality pei build sheet
Rated with 5 out of 5 stars.
This pei sheet is amazing. Everything I've tried sticks to it really really well, until it cools down and then it just releases. I will definitely buy one again if this one wares out.
