Creality CMagnet FlexPlate 235x235mm

The Creality CMagnet FlexPlate is an innovative new product from Creality 3D that has been designed to meet the needs  of 3D Makers by offering excellent adhesion capabilities while also offering one of the most convenient print-removal techniques in the 3D Printing industry.

Using a clever magnetic system, the CMagnet is comprised of two parts, of which the first (The Base) is like a sheet of Creality BuildTak but without the mechanical grip treating, while the second (The FlexPlate) is a magnetic flexible plate that has the BuildTak-like mechanical grip treatment on the top side. These two parts work beautifully together, as the Base is stuck with strong 3M 300LSE adhesive backing to the original bed, while the FlexPlate magnetically attaches onto the top of the Base.

This offers the best of both worlds, as you can rest assured that the FlexPlate will stay firm in place while printing, offering excellent BuildTak-like mechanical adhesion, after which it can be detached relatively easily and simply flexed to break that adhesion and remove the prints from the surface.

*Please Note: Because the CMagnet FlexPlate uses magnetism to keep the FlexPlate on the Base, it’s critical that you never exceed 80°C for your bed temperature, as this will demagnetise the composites. Additionally, try to remember the right orientations of these two parts when you receive them, as the magnetic polarisation will offer greater strength if the magnetism is aligned between the two parts. If you are confused with this at all, put the FlexPlate on the Base and turn it 90° at a time to find the strongest magnetic attraction, and this will let you know that both parts are magnetically polarised in the right orientation.

Typical Applications for these Creality CMagnet FlexPlates:

This CMagnet FlexPlate is sized to fit the Creality Ender 3 and new Creality Ender 3 Pro, but can also fit a range of other 3D Printers like the Creality CR-20 and Creality CR-20 Pro too. Additionally, it can also be cut down to size if necessary to accommodate printers with smaller build volumes as well, and the soft composites allow you to simply use a cutting knife or scissors to get your CMagnet FlexPlate to the perfect size you need it to be.

Just remember though, that because of the 80°C temperature rating, the CMagnet FlexPlate is not recommended for ABS Filaments, which typically require a heated bed surface of over 80°C for effective adhesion, and this will likely demagnetise the bed and render it somewhat useless.

Although Creality 3D have been working within the industry since 2014, their addition of the Creality CR-10 series is what really catapulted them to the front line of competition, as it offered substantially better quality compared to other 3D printers – while simultaneously reducing the cost and complexities of the machines.

The quality of Creality’s 3D Printers and accessories shows through in their market history, with the brand selling around 3000 printers in their first year on the market, followed by about 10,000 sales over the next year. Now, Creality easily sells around 30,000 or more 3D printers each year, with sales continuously rising as they bring out more models. These are impressive numbers when considering the fact that they entered the industry as unknown competitors, quickly rising through the ranks and now even competing with Wanhao and similar top brands.

If you are looking for excellent 3D Printers that offer affordability without compromising on quality, Creality 3D is certainly a brand that you should take note of. From the basic Creality Ender 2 all the way up to the large build volume Creality CR-10 S5, there are few other brands who are capable of offering such a refined package while still maintaining some of the most enticing prices in the industry.
