I absolutely love this smooth printing plate. Not only do my prints adhere to the bed fabulously, but the bottoms are nice and smooth. Additionally, the bottoms do adopt the pattern of the smooth plate so seeing the circles, almost a holographic type, on the bottom of my 3D print is incredibly fun.This fit seamlessly with my Bambu printer and I am very happy with this plate.

The media could not be loaded.  IdeaFormer Rainbow Circles+Kaleidoscope PEK Textured Sheet for Bambu LabThis is pretty cool. I assume it's textured at a micro-level? The sheet seems glass smooth, but the holographic design imprints into the bottom of the print. For testing, I printed our friendly benchy at 200% (just the first 15 layers). See pics & movie. The holographic design transferred.The sheet has a protective film on both sides and is packaged in a cellophane sleeve which is then wrapped in cardboard. Seems pretty well protected.On Bambu plates, the notch in the back contains a slot. I always thought that was used during print head cleaning. At the beginning of the print, the nozzle always does something back there. This plate does not have that slot - but the printer didn't seem to mind. The plate did get nicked up a bit in that area though, (see pic).My initial print (Silk PLA) had adhesion problems. The test stripe at the front of the plate pulled up and got carried into the print (see pic). I wiped the plate down with isopropyl alcohol, and the 2nd try worked fine.I think this is a fun plate that will add some character to the bottom of certain prints. Glad to have this.

Plate fits well but is maybe a bit lighter than the original. The redeeming factor for this plate is the cool design / pattern it produces on the bottom of the print. I used this to print a lightbox lens and the pattern really set the surface off. Adhesion was great and it flexes easily to assist in taking the print off the plate. Current price is better than 10% less than a OEM from Bambu. Great extra plate to have around.

I really love all of these texture build plates that are coming out for printers right now. It really allows you to have some cool finishes on your prints as the rainbow designs transfer over to the bottom of the print. Works really well and leaves really cool patterns.

The sheets feel very sturdy and give a very fun design on the surface that was on the build plate itself. However, you'll have to turn off the build plate detection on your Bambu or else it won't acknowledge or recognize that there's a plate on the bed.

The IdeaFormer PEK build plate was packaged well with protective film and cardboard padding. Checked and ensured that the build plate was flat. Adhesion is good and the rainbow circles and kaleidoscope effect look awesome on print surfaces that make contact with the build plate.

Perfect adhesion and a really cool design!!
