[Gulfcoast Robotics] 235x235mm Aluminum Build Plate and 24V 250W Silicone Heater 3-Point Heated Bed Upgrade for Creality Ender 3

Installed on an Ender 3 S1 Pro (with Y-carage addapter), after the wires for the origional heat bed cable broke internally (common issue with the ender 3 machines). After 4 prints (2 large/ full bed and 2 small/dice sized). Works really well bed heats evenly and consistently.Installation is a bit involved, but once done successfully it works nicely.Bed stays flat and doesnt exhibit much thermal warping. The modular parts allow for single replacement of future parts at a lower cost if neded.Wish it came with the magnetic mat and better installation instructions but those are my only gripes.

Always good quality from Gulf Coast products. Thicker than the stock bed and less prone to warping.

I sadly damaged my og ender bed at my own fault so why not upgrade it if possible. Aluminum looks nice and flat, heating pad heats up fast for me, no issues getting it setup either. My only complaint is the photo shows the cord in the center, and the one I got is offset to the side like the oem one but isnt all the way over so you can't use the old strain relief.

Parts were extremly High Quality and functionality is amazing vs stock parts and would order again. 5 stars

The bed itself heats well and is better than stock. the main flaw comes from the lip in the back. The piece of metal has no bend and is flat causing the wires in the back to rub against the drive in the back of my ender V2, which caused the wires to run and eventually be cut/damaged. Granted this took around a year but it is something to keep in mind.

If you have an Ender 3, you're probably one of the unfortunate people like myself. Stuck with a poorly crafted heat bed. Creality just stamps sheets of aluminum into squares, drills them and calls it a day. The corners tend to warp, and that only gets worse as you use your printer.After struggling with Creality's support trying to get their hunk of junk replaced under the supposed manufacturer warranty, I gave up and accepted I'd have to buy a new one. Might be tempting to buy the replacement from them for (at the time of this review) 25 dollars, but trust me, Creality doesn't deserve a single gosh darned dime from you.This bed basically saved that printer from a terrible fate with an open second story window, suddenly, I can actually get the print surface level. The tolerances of the plate are very much accurate to the description, you might find the smallest variance if you use a dial to check it, but nowhere near as much as an Ender branded plate. In fact, the difference is so minimal, you could set up a BL Touch on your printer, update the firmware, add a G29 line to your print start so the printer maps out the print bed and compensates for any variations. And don't forget to adjust your Z offset. My printer works best with a -1.4, but your mileage may vary.I've gone from not being able to use anything other than the very center of the print bed to actually being able to print large projects.Works best alongside silicone spacers or upgraded springs, but stock springs should work well enough.

I was one of the people that received an Ender 3 with a warped bed. After a year of experiments and trying different work around s, I came upon this product. It is not only flat, but heats up very quickly. It’s a must for any Ender 3 heaven if they somehow managed to ship you a good bed with the original printer).

Stock ender 3 bed maxed out at 124 and was inconsistent. I installed this bed, it heats faster, and I'm able to max out my 140C max temp. Upgraded this to print Polycarbonate.*Update:After 6 uses, it failed. Seller is not helpful with returns. Had to go to customer service with this seller(Gulf Coast Robotics).
