BCZAMD Prusa MK4 I3 MK3 MK52 Gold Double Sided Textured PEI Spring Steel Sheet Powder Coated PEI Build Plate for Prusa i3/Ａquila pro/CR6 SE MK2.5S MK3 MK3S, 253.8 x 241MM

Update: Had to buy a new one after four months. Printed PC Blend without using glue stick. Bad idea. Ripped whole pieces of the coating out when removing it. Can't blame the sheet for it. Prusa highlights that PC Blend requires glue stick and even includes one with their filament. It was just me being stupid. Immediately ordered two more of these -- they're fantastic..Update after a month of use: Awesome. It's been in use almost 24 x 7 and it works great. I don't see any signs of degradation. The only downside so far: small lines of PETG (eg the base layer of supports) can stick too well and be hard to remove. I've used a spatula to remove those and the sheet seems to be taking it well. Very happy.I had endless hours of grief with the textured sheet sold by Prusa. I did work it out in the end and was getting excellent prints with PETG but still had the occasional hiccup with PLA. So I decided to give this one a try.I have only had it in production work for a week or so but I'm quite impressed so far. PLA sticks perfectly. PETG, no problem. Haven't tried ABS yet but sure it will be fine too.The surface is much coarser than Prusa's sheets. Maybe that's why it works better. Honestly, I prefer the surface finish produced by the Prusa textured sheet but then again, that's no good if PLA won't stick. So I'm quite happy with this product.

"I've been printing a ton with PETG and suspected the coarse texture of this build plate would improve adhesion—and I was spot on! Both PETG and PLA grip this plate like glue! I increase the bed temperature to 70°C for PLA and 95°C for PETG, which works perfectly for strong adhesion. Prints stick reliably during printing, and I’ve had no issues with warping. For removal, they pop off cleanly once the plate cools. I don’t need extra adhesives or brims.

I don't normally leave reviews, but this worked so well that I had to come and report back. I recently got a MK4 and was printing extensively and (almost) exclusively in PETG. I added glue stick, cleaned the provided PEI sheet, adjusted temperatures, but no matter what I did, adhesion was still too much and was damaging the steel plate. I bought this because I heard that powder coated sheets were supposed to work better with PETG.First print, right out of the box, no adhesives or anything - no issues whatsoever. In fact, after cooldown I put one hand on the print and another on the sheet to lift it off and I picked the print right up, like it was teleported there. It was so clean that I printed again without even using IPA (I don't think that's a good idea), but I got the same experience second time around.Highly recommend for PETG prints.

On my Prusa Mk3 since I forgot to buy the textured plate when I bought the printer. No fancy writing or designs, seems to work great when I started switching to printing with PETG from PLA filament. No issues with the plate so far after a few months use.

Purchased this based on positive reviews, including at least one saying they could print all filament types without glue or other bed adhesion material. I'd say that last is not accurate.This came in 3 days, so much faster than an original Prusa from the Czech Republic. Price is about $10 cheaper - no shipping with Amazon but no tax from overseas - probably a wash, perhaps a bit less expensive. Not shown in the product listing, but reported in reviews, it does fit my Prusa Mk4 correctly. The cut outs for the orientation pins match up perfectly - has more steel than the original, probably because cheaper to manufacture that way without cutting out the material between the pins as Prusa does it. The coating seems even with no defects on either side.I'd printed with Prusa smooth and satin sheets, but not the textured though I have one. So this is my first time on a textured equivalent sheet. I tried a Benchy on a clean sheet wiped with IPA (isopropyl alcohol, how I prep all my sheets) and it failed at about 8%. I did the same exact thing in the same spot but applied glue stick (original Prusa included with the Mk4 kit, but don't know it's any different than any other kindergarten stick glue) and it adhered fine/same as on my Prusa satin sheet.I though the review reporting printing without glue could be correct as PETG is very soft and at a higher temp so thought it'd 'get down in the grooves' and hold, but I think that review is not accurate. I'm at 73 on bed heat and 240 on nozzle temp - filament is Welcomeget standard PETG and recommends only up to 235 on nozzle, but that temp works for me. In the pic, failed Benchy, no glue, on left and competed one still sitting in its glue on the right.Perhaps the extra steel and 'thicker' coating means the bed heat is not as high as the printer thinks it is, just a guess, for why the Benchy failed to stick without glue. I was hoping these folks made a 'smooth' and a 'satin' equivalent sheet as I'd buy extras of those, but I don't see options from them.Overall I think this was a fair, not great, but definitely fair value for the price. I just got it today so have no clue on durability yet - will update this if it fails at some point as some have referenced.

This plate works fine as a bed for small things. But the moment you move onto larger objects or printer, the plate has a tendency to come loose from the print bed because it doesnt have enough magnetic power to hold itself into place. This alone has caused me more than 30 hours of print loss. Do not recommend.

I've got a couple of older Prusa's that were used in production for a while and the bed plates were really beat. This new sheet was just the ticket. So far, I've only used it with PLA, but the adhesion for PLA was much better than the old worn out plates that I had.
