Why do you want this product?
This listing is for just the plate. You can get the magnetic base separately or in a bundle with the plates.
With our flex plates you no longer need to use scrapers to remove your parts from the printer bed. Just let it cool after a print (to 40C or less) and then flex the plate and watch the parts pop off! Words don’t do these justice. Check out our video below. You do need the magnetic base to attach these to your printer bed.
Maintenance Tip – Make sure to clean your bed before applying the magnet and occasionally wipe down the plate with IPA to keep the surface free of oils for best adhesion.
Important Information
- Recommend print temps
- PLA – 60C
- HTPLA – 60C
- PETG – 70-80C
- PCTG – 70-80C
- ABS – 100C
- Product Usage Guidelines
- ABS – You will need to use something like VisionMiner Nano Polymer to stick ABS to PEI, or use our EZMat on the other side of the plate. Smaller parts will stick but larger parts may lift without an adhesion promoter on the PEI surface
- PETG/PCTG/TPU – If you are not careful with your 1st layer you can risk bonding the PETG/PCTG/TPU to the PEI surface. This will damage the surface. To prevent damage to the surface apply hairspray or PVA gluestick before printing PETG/PCTG/TPU on the PEI or EZMat surfaces
- Part Removal – Make sure your plate is at close to room temp (under 30C) before removing parts. If you remove when hot it more likely to damage the surface.
- Maintain Proper Z Height – When starting a print make sure your bed is level and your nozzle is not too close to the bed (if using an ABL system check that your Z offset is correct and use the Babystepping to adjust during a print). Running the nozzle too close will damage the surface and/or embed the plastic into the sheet. Damage due to improper Z height is hard to fix and is not covered under warranty.
- Cleaning – Keep the top and bottom of the plate clean as well as the magnet if you get anything on it. IPA is what is recommended to clean the plate and magnetic base. Make sure that no liquids or adhesives are on top of the magnet or bottom of the plate. If liquids are between the magnet and the plate it can damage and degrade the magnet so keep them dry and clean.

- Bed Sizing Notes
- Be sure to check your bed size. TH3D is not responsible for the wrong size ordered and/or errors in the listings. We try do our best to keep descriptions up to date but some manufacturers make changes to machines after release.
- Product Changes
- Smooth plates ordered after 3/1/20 will have the new EZFlex2 branding on them and our new PEI that holds better than the last version. The PEI will have a slightly different appearance than the previous version of the smooth plates and this is normal.
Product QC Information
- All plates and magnets are inspected to ensure full functionality to make sure they meet our standards for them.
- Smooth PEI plates may have a non-uniform appearance under the PEI as that is the adhesive visible through the PEI sheet, this is normal.
- Textured PEI plates may have a non-uniform color appearance as they are sprayed and the PEI is baked onto the plate, this is normal.
- Textured plates will have the texture covering the print area for the machines they fit (example: CR-10 has a 310×310 bed but print area is only 300×300).
- Plates will not be exchanged if they are in these specifications. Only if a plate has a defect that affects it’s functionality will be considered defective.
- Why are there some variances in appearance with the plates?
- They are all sprayed (textured) or applied by hand (smooth). It is impossible (even with a machine) to make every single plate absolutely identical. The information provided above is so you know what to expect from the plates.

I really like this build plate! The stock bed was fine until I used some “Silk” PLA which stuck so solidly that chunks of the bed surface came up with the print (even with the gentlest scraper tap). The silk still sticks solidly to the new Textured PEI bed surface, but a slight flex breaks the bond without damage to either the print or the bed.

PLA, PETG and nylon stick well, if not a little PVA glue helps. The plate flexes well and returns to shape. The tabs really help removing and aligning the plate. I removed my glass bed and installed the magnetic sheet directly to the aluminum plate. When printing PLA without glue the prints get imprinted with the texture which makes them look cool and hides the extrusion lines. I’ve washed mine in warm water a few times and I haven’t seen any rust yet, just be sure to completely dry the plate before reinstalling. Works great with the EZABL.

I got my package in, installed in 5 minutes, redone a bed leveling on my Ender 5 plus, my mesh infos were closer to each other across the board.
I chose the « rough » textured surface and the first were a breeze to print.
A must have …
Highly recommended…👍

I purchased the textured EZFlex, a sheet of EZPEI to place on the other side, and the EZFlex Magnetic Base to place on my Ender 3 Pro’s heated bed (I removed the stock magnetic base when I switched over to a glass bed). Both surfaces have been working great with PETG @ 70°C! After a print is done, I let the bed cool down to about 40-45°C, remove the sheet, give the bed a quick flex, and then use my smooth knife to slide under the print for super easy removal. The smooth knife isn’t necessary, but I generally avoid touching the build surface as much as possible.
PLA also works great on both the textured and smooth surfaces.
I attached a comparison photo of the first layer finish of the textured PEI EZFlex [left] and the Prusa textured steel sheet [right]. The finish of the EZFlex is more “cavernous/valley-like” compared to the Prusa.
I occasionally clean the sheet using some 91% isopropyl alcohol while the bed is cold.
Overall, the EZFlex plate has been a joy to use! I would prefer the bottom textured finish to be a bit smoother to run my finger across, similar to the Prusa, but it’s a minor con.

This is a great product when your glass bed is missing some pieces off the surface, in this case my tevo tornado decided to home into the bed and print with nose of hot end into the surface making almost impossible to remove without breaking glass off surface (I’ve fixed the homing issue first and got lucky there was still glass holding silicone heater). More than for the price it’s an amazing product, prints coming off bed with ease on smooth surface, and no heat. Have no cons except the metal sheet’s small tabs used to remove form magnetic sheet makes contact with tornado’s build plate bolts, so I had to bend the tabs up away with a wrench so there would be no bumps on the outer edges. Had the tabs been moved 12 to 15 mm towards the middle it would have fit perfectly. Overall a must for beds that are just glass and glued heaters attached to them.

I’ve only printed on Creality’s glass plate for quite a while now using both the side with the coating that is designed to hold the print down and the smooth glass side. My printer came with their CMagnet and I wasn’t a fan of it so I never used it. When I would print on the glass and it was a long print I would always use a raft to prevent it from falling off or having corners peel up. This wasn’t ideal because it caused the print to have a horrible surface finish. I ordered both the textured and smooth flex plates and they work great. The prints stick to the plates perfectly and the textured one leaves a great finish on the part that is touching the plate and the smooth one leaves a nice semi-gloss finish. I used the textured one during an 11-hour print with no raft without any problems. When I removed it off of the plate the bottom was perfect and there was no sign of lifting. The smooth one also works great. I printed a thin 2-hour print on that and there was also no sign of lifting. I wish I would have discovered these plates sooner they are a great addition to any 3D printer and they are working great on my CR-20 Pro. I recommend this to anyone that needs a reliable bed solution.

wife got me 3 sets with textured flex mat and i love them they stick to the bed like glue. no more clips or hammering scrapers to get the prints off when done just lift and they pop off. another excellent product

I’ve printed on the default Creality Ender 3 build plate, their magnetic build plate, and a glass build plate (with blue tape, glue stick, and hairspray used for better adhesion). The exflex plate (smooth finish) is far and away the best build surface I’ve used. I just watched the best first layer I’ve ever gotten go down. I have the EZABL installed, as well as TH3D’s dual Z kit and the EZFlex build plate has made a bigger difference to my prints than those two combined! I would recommend both the EZABL and Dual Z to anyone, they both work great and are worth the $$ for sure, but the EXFlex build plate is on a whole different level! You won’t get more bang for your buck than this.
