LOKBUILD 3D PRINT BUILD SURFACE 305MM

I'm new to 3D printing, but I've been using this from the start on my new CR-10s printer. In 40+ hours of printing (50+ printed parts ranging from 1/2 inch square to 8 inches square) I've yet to have a single PLA adhesion failure with LokBuild. Every build has been perfect.I did have a couple of parts that adhered a little too well and didn't want to come loose, but using a twisting action seems to help with the sticky ones.

I've bought this to see if I coul print without messing with my printer with hairspray, gluestick, abs juice and other things.At first it was doing great, until I've started to print ABS. Heating the bed above 100 degrees Celsius made bubbles appear. I've contact the manufacturer, and they told me that was my fault and an application defect, even I've had applyed following the instructions carefully. Now I've decided to remove and discovered that the bubbles weren't between adhesive and bed, but between adhesive and the sheet itself. It's easy to a manufacturer point a finger to someone they don't know, instead of opening a dialog and understand what has happened. If they've told me to remove and take pictures at the time I've first contacted them and said that they would replace if the bubbles were not an application problem, I would be grateful. Let's see now what they do now. What is worse, is that I have another one and I'm worried about spending my money in garbage.

Easy to remove item, no tape, no glue. BUT.... it curls up really bad when bed is not hit overnight.

After a couple months of using this I can say that it just doesn't work on anything but PLA. I can't test ABS since I don't want to fumigate my roommates but it definitely doesn't work with eSun PETG filament. I have tried glue sticks, hairspray, and masking tape and I still haven't managed to get it to work with PET. PLA works but not great. It can also loose adhesion really easily during the first layer which is especially problematic around small holes of the part that are touching the build plate due to the small fast movements. I have even tried printing all the way down to 10mm/s and no improvements are being had in this front. Overall I would not recommend this product and will be switching out to a PEI surface to hopefully be able to print in PETG.Also as a fun side note, I was able to do some tests using paper clipped to my bed as a build surface. The paper was better than this build surface in nearly every way. That's how bad this build surface is.

Using pla adjusted the heighth starting from a higher setting to wear it didn't stick to a lower setting when it finally started to stick per instructions. Stuck very well first print came off what a little persuasion. Second print of the same item couldn't get off without tearing the mat. Matt ruin $35 down the drain

Best build surface EVER! I love this stuff! The days of printing on tape or using adhesives are OVER. Just buy your size, align to your bed and stick! PLA, PETG, TPU, and Carbon fiber + PLA have all stuck! PLA requires no bed heating with LokBuild and greatly simplifies the pre and post processes to 3D printing! Will buy again and again!Pros-Excellent build adhesionWorks with nearly all filamentsEasy to installAllows for easy bed leveling and tolerances are lighter than just glass.Cons-Difficult to remove when needing replacement.Needs to be available in more colors for cosmetic value.

I had read and watched a lot of reviews about this before deciding to take the leap. When I just couldn't take the tape and hairspray regimen anymore, I jumped. And I have NOT been sorry at all. Some reveiwers say it sticks "almost TOO well". My experience is that it sticks EXACTLY the right amount. Zero curls or failed first layers since I installed this beauty on my OEM glass bed (on my CR-10). The trick is to keep your scraper at a low angle, beveled side up, and apply gentle pressure toward the center of the print while rocking the blade from the front to the back of the printer bed -- wiggling the print loose, more than popping or cutting it away from the bed. Also, MUCH easier if you let the bed cool to room temp first (which happens really quickly on my CR-10).

Do not even bother wasting your time with this garbage. I've wasted so much material on failed prints and troubleshooting it's not even funny. After getting glowing reviews from *PAID* Youtube sponsors I thought it would be a great add on to my Creality CR-10S, I was very wrong.I made sure it was put on correctly, and leveled (using various means including a digital level) and had nothing but failed prints using known good STL files. If you want to find a decent print surface, I would recommend a mirror or a really level piece of glass over this abortion of a product.
