Works with huge caveats and issues.
Rated with 2 out of 5 stars.
The print bed first feels quite thick, compared to spring steel ones. Compared to them, this is more like plastic mat, it does not act like spring steel at all. This brings a new problem: If you leave it warp, make sure that it's flat against the magnet side as the magnet sheet isn't strong enough to pull it flat when it has formed itself into an arc. This increased flexibility has benefits and downsides.
For printing: Eh, it's love and hate. Prints bind to it very well. Or they don't. No matter how well you clean the bed, sometimes prints just won't bind. And next time when you print on the same spot, the print binds so tightly that you have to break the model to get it off the cooled bed. So, there's no sweetspot with this sheet: Prints either bind to it like glued or they don't bind at all. This also can occur in different areas of the bed: First print in the same area, half of the area is where filament doesn't bind. Then next time you print, it's vice versa. It's just flipping coin whether you get the first layer properly adhere but not too tightly.
Once you get a model off it, it looks nice and flat without any grain or bumpy surface finish (so, if you like grain texture, this isn't for you). However: dark filaments suddenly get this white haze on them, where you can see what was the shape of first layer of the previously printed models. This occurs even when you have rinsed the bed properly with IPA as manufacturer recommends. And this occur even when you even have printed only black filament. So, if you need a high quality surface finish with even, clean color, DO NOT USE this sheet.
I want to like it but I've started to hate it. Therefore, look elsewhere. Not recommending.Was this rating helpful? (3) (0)
