EZMat² – Printer Bed Adhesion Sheet
$9.99 – $11.99
Polycarbonate Build Sheet w/Genuine 3M Adhesive
Available sizes: 235x235mm & 310x310mm
Mats can be cut down to fit smaller bed sizes
Thick sheet for durability and longevity – Can be installed directly on the bed or glass.
Why do you want this product?
This is a great addon for your 3D printer. It can be placed directly on your printer bed or on a metal flex plate like our EZFlex² System. PEI type sheets are great, but their adhesion strength pales in comparison to the EZMat². The EZMat² just sticks prints down with no adhesives needed (even for ABS, you still need an enclosure for ABS). These mats are the same as our previous EZMat product but have been re-designed and we’re using genuine 3M adhesive that comes off clean when compared to other bed sheets on the market. This means that replacing the sheet is quicker and leaves less residue on the bed when it is time to replace it. This latest version of the EZMat is the same material and quality as our original blue one, just with a cleaner design.
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
- Recommended print temps
- PLA – 0C-60C
- ABS: 90C-100C
- PETG/PCTG: 70C-80C
- TPU/TPE: 0-70C
- PC: 120C
- Since our mat is based on Polycarbonate we recommend using something in-between the mat and the PC to help it release easier. You can use glue stick or hairspray to prevent this from happening.
- Product Usage Guidelines
- ABS – You need an enclosure to print ABS on any printer with any build surface type. ABS warps when printing and having a stable, high ambient temperature will prevent this.
- 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 it when hot its 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.
- Want to increase or decrease adhesion?
- Check out our article here: EZMat/EZPei – Adhesion Tips and Tricks
- Bed Sizing Notes
- Be sure to check your bed side. 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.
- Sheet Thickness
- The surface itself is about 0.6mm thick, total thickness with adhesive is about 0.8mm thick.
Installation Notes/Tips
- Clean the surface with acetone then glass cleaner. If you do not have acetone just glass cleaner will suffice.
- Align the bed mat on the bed or glass that you want to apply to
- Bond strength can also be improved with firm application pressure and moderate heat (50C) causing the adhesive to develop intimate contact with the bonding surface.
- Peel back one corner
- Slowly apply it to the bed pressing firmly as you peel the backing to avoid getting bubbles under the mat

These things are crazy good. I got two of them with the intent to protect my glass bed while printing PETG. Well its now a permanent build surface on my Ender 3, I dont need glue or any thing with PETG and PLA lays down just as easy. No more Glue or blue tape just the EXMAT 🙂

I had tried everything on my CR-10, tape, glue, hairspray, even mirrors from one of the big box stores… that worked better for me than the previous attempts… so when EZMats came out, I thought I’d give those a try… omg it is amazing compared to the other things. I had to remember to use a business card to set the nozzle instead of paper but once I did that… it works so well that I haven’t touched any of the other solutions for months. It works well enough I put it on every printer I own. =]

This mat is great. I only have tried PLA with it and works almost too good. No need to use brim and avoid using skirt because you will have a hard time removing it from the mat. I highly recommend having some sort of flexible bed in order to remove large print with success. I stuck this mat to a steel sheet that i use as my print bed now. Make sure you have a nice sharp scraper ready if you don’t have a flexible print bed because you will need it. Great product.

Had to do a review..im a recovering glass bed glue stick user. Today I received the CR-10 S4 version. I have been having terrible prints ever since I first got my machine (cr-10) till today. The th3d bed mat is a dream, prints stick well, come off easy. no more glue stick. “Happy” simply is not the word, I thought I would have to throw my cr-10 away.. just simply would not stick to my glass plate.. but now I see so many open doors ..in short very happy, and if I need another I will not hesitate to order another

I purchased the EZMat when my CR-10s was still on it’s way. Once I set it up and printed 1 print, I knew the stock glass pane was not going to give me what I wanted.
I stuck the EZMat on and what a difference. I have never needed glue sticks or hair spray or anything. This mat has great adhesion and, when the bed cools down, the printed pieces I’ve printed so far, just pop off. I sray a little alcohol at the end of the print and wipe it off. Good as new! I couldn’t be happier with my first in a series of TH3D upgrades.

I purchased this mat after having repeated adhesion issues on the glass bed of my cr10 mini. This thing works. Like really really holds on to your print. Almost too well. I’ve found if I let it cool they come off with a spatula scraper rather easily. They don’t make them in the size for the cr10 mini, but thankfully it’s really easy to cut down to size. I’m very happy with this.

Difficulty removing the prints…;but I see by the review comments that I should maybe adjust my Z axis 1/10thmm or so, and prints should probably come off easier.
The first thing I’ve used that prints actually stick to the build plate EVERY TIME, I love it for that alone!!

I have had really good luck with both PLA and PETG on this surface. I have not used hair spray or glue stick with PETG, and it comes off nicely. Just mess with your bed temp. to get a nice first layer adhesion, but not much more than that and you should be happy.

Got this in the other day and ripped off the OEM Ender 5 magnetic surface and installed this directly on to the metal bed. I am just blown away how well this surface works. As stated by other reviews it may work a little too well. I am currently going through their tips and tricks doc to see if I can lesson the adhesion level as I felt like I was having a fight with my machine to remove my print.
With all that said would highly recommend.

Perfection.
I’ve tested sooooo many print surfaces. I literally have a pile of common brands that just don’t compare to the EZMAT. It is, by far, my absolute favorite print surface. I have it stuck to glass surfaces that lost their stick and I have it on spring steel sheets.
I have literally paid $80+ for big name print surface ‘systems” and, until I stuck an EZMAT on them, they were just meh.
It will be the surface for all my printers going forward. I am off to order 3 more!

Fantastic is all I can say. I cut the 300×300 down to fit mirror glass for my CR-10mini and I’m glad I made the switch from a mirror/PEI sheet. While I haven’t tried ABS or flexibles yet, PLA and PETG stick to this guy like crazy. Just a little glue stick makes removing the PETG easy. It’s also incredibly flat and easy to install. The EZMat is stiff enough where accidentally creating bubbles isn’t an issue. This will be the last build surface I ever purchase without a doubt.

After reading several reviews about this print surface, I ordered 2 and they came in 2 days later. I have to cut them to fit 300×300 which is my mirror glass to replace my stock magnetic surface. It fixes my adhesion problem but now I have a hard time to get print off. It sticks really really well. I didn’t think far enough when I tried to print a FLAT calibration object and it took me few days scraping residues off, all others which have some thickness you just wait for print to cool off to remove. I’m ordering 2 more to explore other options like clipping it (or with thin magnets to keep it flat) onto glass surface. So far I like it and keep using it.

Purchased this item a few months ago. First one went on the default Creality base plate which I do not feel flexes enough, so I later purchased a second on with the EZFlex plate and have been in love. As recovering glass user, I got so spoiled to the perfect adhesion of this solution (over-adhesion at first before Tim and team pointed me to the guide via Reddit) that when it finally had an adhesion issue, I panicked… Until i realized how much I had printed. I sanded with a sand sponge, washed off with IPA, and went back at it. Only done PLA so far, but just got my first roll of PETG, so plan to spread my wings a bit in coming weeks.
NOTE: You if you print small taller parts, it CAN adhere so well that they break coming off. Account for this in your printing planning. I ran into issues with the tail of the T-Rex model on Thingiverse and had to print a couple times before I got it to come off cleanly. Not a knock, but something to consider as you go.

This is probably one of the best build surfaces I’ve used. I never have to worry about a print coming off when printing. Also love the fact that I can use lower bed temps since the adhesion is so good. I do find that PLA sticks a bit too well when printing on it though but I mainly only use the EZMat when I print PETG

Everyone needs to have this on there printer, I have used almost every print surface out there. The EZMat is like magic. Make sure your first layer is not to squashed, or you will have a hard time removing the print. With the EZMAT, I can also print faster, it is hard to explain, the plastic just sticks. Great Product Tim. Thank You

I ordered the 235×235 size for my Tevo Tarantula Pro. I was used to using hairspray and glass on my CR-10 machines so I was skeptical of how well a flexible mat would be for adhesion. Boy was I wrong! This thing has incredible adhesion! I printed some models that used tree supports from Cura that were tiny, like the size of a finishing nail head. They stuck just as well as the larger pieces. I will definitely be adding one of these print surfaces to all my machines very soon!

I can’t explain it but everything sticks. If you really squish the first layer it can be hard to remove the print. Once I got the fist layer right it works perfect. I won’t use any other print surface.

I Used to print using tape or glass, but I tried this once now I can’t go back! So far we have bought 3 of them for our Alfawise U10… It’s 1st layer adhesion is great even when starting further away from the bed, and it actually looks good on my printer 🙂 Thanks TH3D 🙂

It’s likely you but not intentionally (:P) but settings may need to be adjusted. Check your Z height and make sure you are close enough to the bed. You can also check here as we have a full page on getting more adhesion from our build surfaces: EZMat/EZPei – Adhesion Tips and Tricks

I haven’t had good luck with this surface.
I primarily got it to use with eSunPC, which is a PC blend. It does stick pretty well to the bed, but I still get warping because the EZMat is pulled off of the glass sheet I adhered it to. So now I have a wavy surface that even PLA will warp on as it pulls more of the EZMat from the glass.
I tried to restick it and print some PCABS but have had no luck. The resticking didn’t get rid of the bubbles (surface material is stretched) and the PCABS didn’t stick well at all.

Tim Hoogland –
While the EZMat will stick down ABS and PC you still need an insulated enclosure to print these materials as they warp a lot when in room temperatures.
As for the adhesion of PLA try cleaning the mat with IPA and see our guide here: https://www.th3dstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043591911-EZFlex-EZMat-EZPei-Adhesion-Tips-and-Tricks

i have the smooth exflex pei plate and magnet on my ender 2 pro – works awesome, but sometimes need just a bit extra adhesion on tall skinny prints. Can the ezmat be installed on one side of the pei sheet assuming it’s clean and free of defects? No problems holding the magnet through the ezmat if it’s on the bottom? Would love to just be able to flip the flex plate over to switch back and forth between build surfaces.
thanks!

While you can some people have said that it causes the plate to pull up on larger prints. We don’t officially recommend it but we do have customers using them in that manner. It’s a do so at your own risk type of thing/your mileage may vary. I personally have a few plates like this and haven’t had issues but some people had problems with using it.
