Excellent replacement for stock Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus pads
Excellent replacement for stock build plate pad on Wanhao/PowerSpec Duplicator i3 Plus printer. Due to the tight margins on this printer, you need to cut 1.5 CM off each corner to prevent the pad from covering the screws. If you don't do this, you will have issues when starting a print job or trying to level the bed because 0,0,0, on the build plate won't be level.I have had very good adhesion, perhaps a bit too good, when using PETG. Have not tried other filaments yet, but with PETG, you need to make sure the build plate doesn't cool off completely or you may have difficulty removing the print job without tearing the pad. Mine would not unstick from a small cylinder and now I have a small hole. But later prints didn't stick since I removed them quickly. I am also lowering my build plate temp 5-10 degrees Celsius to prevent too much adhesion, but your experience may vary. Pro-tip: I use a razor scraper instead of a standard scraper to get under the brim/skirt, and loosen the print job, before I use a regular scraper. I find this is a lot easier on the pad and build plate.I'm not giving 5 stars because of the need to cut corners, and the fact that the adhesion can be overkill when the build plate cools completely, but I'd recommend this to anyone. Also, there is a minor typo in the text, which may explain why these were on sale and are now out of stock.

Love this print surface!
I've had my 3D printer (Monoprice Maker Select Plus) for about 6 months now, and went through both the pre-installed print surface, and the extra sheet that was provided in the kit. Both did...ok. Considering I didn't have to mess with painter's tape, glue sticks, etc., and my adhesion issues were minimal, I was willing to try another surface when I needed replacements. Based on the reviews, and the price, I figured I'd give these a shot. I've gone through a roll and a half of filament on the first sheet now, and I couldn't be happier. I did have to trim the corners before I put the sheet on, but that was simple. The sheet went on perfectly, and is very secure. I'm getting great heat transfer, and have had perfect adhesion with everything I've printed; no peeling up, and no over-stickiness. Large prints lay down well, and pop off easily when cool. Smaller prints stick well enough that they don't get knocked over during printing.The biggest surprise, however, has been how little material has been left behind on the surface after print removal. I used to have to scrape and use acetone to get plastic residue off the stock sheets, forever cleaning the print bed between prints. Prints are coming off this so clean, I've yet to need clean it in 3000+g of printing, and it still looks brand new. As far as I'm concerned, these are now the only print surface I'll ever use for this printer from now on.

Works for PolyMaker PC Filament
Long story short - bought a roll of PolyMaker PC-Max (now called PolyMax PC) polycarbonate filament and it arrived with a BuiltTak sheet which is essential for printing PolyMax PC filament. I installed the BuildTak and forgot to adjust the Z offset of my printer which caused the print to fuse to the surface destroying the BuildTak sheet, This was 100% my mistake. In the short term I built on painters tape but poor adhesion often resulted in warping. I came across the Athorbot sheet on Amazon and bough the the pack of 3. I had to cut the sheet to fit my print bed but that's easy to do. The build surface installed down without any bubbles. I took great care to install from the top edge and slowly move down to the button edge.The surface is perfect. After adjusting the Z-height, I was able to print PolyMax PC filament with no warping at all. Bed adhesion is excellent!! As an added bonus, the prints were easily detached after the build plate had cooled down to room temperature. Removing prints while the build plate is hot will damage the surface so be patient.Overall, this build surface works well for PolyMax PC

Problem solved... No more warping or sliding!
Even with an upgraded carriage, glass bed, and auto leveling on my Anet A8, I was having trouble getting my prints to stick to the bed consistently. Now I have a whole new problem... getting my prints off the bed when they're done!I've done about a dozen prints, including to large ones which had been giving me trouble, and not a single problem. Even the thin brim around the parts stays firmly attached.If treated well, this is a durable, reusable product which could be used hundreds of times. There are three mats in the package, so these will last a long time.The prints are difficult to remove, especially if they're allowed to cool on the mat. I've found that it is easiest to remove them by gently slipping a razor blade under a corner (perhaps 1/2 cm), then working a piece of dental floss under the part. I use Glide, which is made from Teflon, and it's quite easy.

Great print surface
One of the best upgrades I made to my AM8. I tried multiple surfaces before tried this one with mixed success. this one allowed me to use my stock bed sensor because it's thin enough to allow the sensor to sense the aluminium bed which was not possible with glass surface or even PEI sheet. The only problem that I get sometimes is if the first print layer is too wide it is hard to peel it off the surface because of extreme adhesion. I successfully printed flexible filaments on this surface with +0.25 offset on Z axis. EVen with keeping the nozzle higher then normal makes it stick to the surface once it touches it. Will definitely buy more.

Worked as intended
It did it’s job.. may have only lasted a month, but it worked

Probably the best thing I've purchased for use with my Anet A8S ...
Probably the best thing I've purchased for use with my Anet A8S printer. No more problems with the filament not sticking to the blue tape or glass. Works well with both Inland PLA and Inland PETG. Sometimes the PETG adheres too well to the surface, but just warm up the bed and it comes off clean.

Check for spots without adhesive?
I liked the look of the product. It was easy to install. But half way through the first print a bubble developed under a corner of the object. The print was ruined.
