3D Printer Glass Bed Upgraded, Borosilicate Glass Plate for Creality Ender 3 Pro/Ender 3 V2/Ender 3 V2 Neo/Ender 3 Neo/3 S1/3 S1 Pro/5 Pro 235x235x3mm Build Surface Replacement with 4 Glass Clips

My ender 3 build plate was warped. Since I wanted to experiment with a magnetic build plate and a glass build plate, I elected to go with this lower price option than the official glass build plate - and it works great. I am genuinely surprised on how well the prints are adhering, how easy it is to remove prints after cooling, and the smoothness of the base of the prints. I have not had to use glue or spray, and the only time I have had an adhesion problem was when I hadn't cleaned the surface properly between prints. Works great.

First off, printing on glass has been WAY better then printing on the stock magnetic cover my Ender-3 Pro came with. I should point out that I love my 3d printer and as a product is has performed wonderfully.It was when I started printing in materials other than PLA that I starting losing my mind with the stock bed cover. It worked well with PLA, I mean it was really good but there were issues from time to time with warping. Still it worked.The glass bed cover changed my life. I order this one because I couldn't get the branded one. I read online it shouldn't matter beyond the glass materials used. This one is Borosilicate, which is like the best bed glass materials you can find out there.I read a couple people say things like it chipped and/or other complaint about quality. Honestly, mine came perfectly with nice smooth edges/beveled sides and no cracks. I will say that you can ruin this product if you use it incorrectly. As I said above, I wanted to use different materials to print with, you know shake it up. Well one way you can ruin this product is to use PETG and INCORRECTLY use the glass bed. I read online and did NOT ruin my bed, I mean you have to prepare a glass bed before using some materials! With PETG they recommend either glue stick, hairspray or painters tape. You have to do this. If you don't, the PETG can literally BIND with the glass on small prints and you'll bind to the glass and it could break.

Great upgrade to the Ender 3 Pro if your stock build plate came warped. I've also noticed better adhesion but that could be caused by the fact that my build plate is actually level now lol I don't know how easy it will be to remove prints but it should be no problem. As the plastic cools it contracts so it should just lift off from the glass without any force. Though I will edit this review if that is not the case. I'm still laying down the first layer of a print, but this first layer looks better than it ever did with my other bed. (btw I am new to 3D printing and I've only had my Ender 3 pro for about a week) My warped bed was causing me all sorts of issues but they are all gone now :D

I had adhesion problems and bought this in the hopes of no more moving prints, but it didn't give me that. Yes, it's good quality and appears to be exactly as offered, and the packing was really high quality and it came quickly... no fault at all to the manufacturer/distributor (hense the high review), but what I actually needed was a new skin on my removable build-plate cover.

This glass bed has been a great upgrade over the original ender 3 build surface. So far I have run PETG and PLA and have had no issues with first layer adhesion using nothing but the glass, no glue or hair spray. I make sure to clean the glass with windex or rubbing alcohol after each use and it has been great. Glass is also much more level than then the ender 3 build plate was with the original surface.My only complaint and reason for one star off is that there are some very small chips on one edge of the glass, maybe from when the manufacturer sanded the edges. The chips are small and do not cause leveling or build issues but of course I would still rather them not be there.

This was my first glass bed for my Ender 3 and it was easy to get used to. While I had trouble gauging the bed temps needed to get PLA to stick, the glass heated up beautifully. It retains heat for a while and helps with a unlevel bed, which I have, but thanks to the polished edge I had to slightly move the glass off the bed to have a surface for the test extrusion before each print. The polished edge is nice however, and I feel completely safe handling the glass, perfect for parents that want to get their kid into 3d printing on glass compared to other glass beds. I did find that the clips that came with the bed were too small and I bought some from a dollar store that were perfect for it. Be sure to lower your metal bed before you home since this is noticeably thicker than the stock printing surface that came with the printer.I also find it helpful to heat the bed up and then apply glue stick to the surface to help it stick, or if I am using hairspray to take it away from the printer to ensure a good coat.

I was impressed with the product. Shipping might be hit or miss since the first one was broken when received. The box is marked fragile but it is put in an Amazon box with no additional warnings on that box. But when I got the second one it was great. Got a can of Aqua Net hairspray and sprayed it on to the glass. Wiped the excess off with a paper towel and it was tacky to the touch. Had to adjust the Z stop to account for the additional thickness but once leveled, it worked great. This is my test level print and all of it was flawless on the first try,

The glass was perfectly flat, only 3mm thick, and has polished edges yet only minimally rounded. Some of the offerings for glass in this size has large rounded edges which mean you then need to cut the PEI sheet to match the corners which is difficult to do and make it look perfect. Well, with my skills anyway!The corners on this glass are just rounded enough to make them smooth so once the PEI sheet was attached some light sanding at just the corners was enough to have them match the glass perfectly.The attached clips are just standard office binder clips however it was a nice addition to make sure you have something that works.As well, If you have not tried PEI I suggest doing so. It solved most of my problems.
