EZ-Stik Hot Professional 3D Printer Build Surface from GeckoTek 160x160mm (Pack of 3)

This stuff is great. I have a Prusa Mk3 I3 printer that I purchased with the textured base plate (and waiting several extra months for). Well, my luck was terrible only having about 1 in 10 prints not fail at some point. I tried everything, every fix suggested on the internet and rarely did I get noticeable improvements. Failures were always the same, the print slowly peeled up at the edges until the entire thing let go from the base plate.I purchased this, installed it in a couple minutes and was rewarded by a successful print on the first go. I am now 3 different prints into using this and every one has held perfectly. The last one I even just used Prusa slicer defaults to see how it would turn out and it did great.My only warning is if your print takes up the whole base left to right, this (220x220) does not provide full coverage. I started one large print that fell off both sides a little and I cancelled the print. Now knowing how good this works, I wouldn't hesitate top buy the larger more expensive one and cut it to fit exactly.

Great print adhesion, almost too good. Hard to pry off a large flat print but when it comes off it is nice and smooth.

Make sure you set you Z height correct before you print. Mine was set too low and my hot end engraved it for me, too bad it was a very large print. On the area where it's not damaged, it works great. PLA sticks during printing and comes off easy when done. the bottom has a very glossy surface when done. I have a XYZ davinci 1.0 pro. and stuck it right to the aluminum print surface. No more Tape. No more glue. No more hair spray. Just happy printing.

I ordered the EZ-Stik Hot and got the EZ-Stik Cold by accident it was even smaller by 20 mm each dimension. So Amazon said they would send another. Well I had the Cold already on my machine and the other two machines I ordered would not arrive for a day. So I tried the EZ-Stik Cold and OMG this stuff is amazing. I thought the online stuff was a "magic trick." NOPE, this stuff is amazing. So I have printed about 80 square items at 2 inch by 2 inch and they have all stuck every time. The effort it takes to remove is ridiculous. I can not emphasize this more. It just pops off and has a glass finish on the bottom. I can not wait to see how the EZ-Stik hot works now. I called Amazon back and asked to purchase the stuff that was sent to me by accident. I don't want to return any of it. Thanks for an amazing mix-up Amazon! and a Great product GecoTek!

I know people who swear by it, but I found it hard to apply without air bubbles and impossible to remove them. It looks odd, which would be fine if it worked great, but for me it didn't. Even in the area without bubbles it seemed to exaggerate small variances in my build plate even-ness.

I have done over 100 prints using EZ-Stik Hot. Very rare is there an issue with adhesion. If there is it is all about tuning the settings or cleaning the surface. The GeckoTk sheet looks perfect and I think I am good for another 100 prints. As you can see by the photos I am not talking about little trinkets being printed. These are commercial run items. Very large bases which creates a lot of pull (shrink) as it cools. Also, once cooled the print comes right off. This is just as important. I just ordered more to go on my other printers.FYI: I am only printing PLA on this machine.Ordering one of the 'Cold' versions to try out. If I can get good adhesion without running the heat bed that would be great.

I've been into 3d printing for 2 years now. Bed adhesion is the number 1 issue that causes print failures. I tried just about everything (glue sticks, painters tape, mirrors, expensive glass beds) and they all work to some degree but since I got this wonderful Geckotech I have not had a single print failure due to bed adhesion. Been using for about a month and have had no issues with it stuck to my flex plate on my kossle linear plus its been such a game changer.

I literally can't wait to chisel this junk off of my print bed.I can't believe this costs $32. Auto-leveling did not find the correct Z offset, so no filament would extrude the first 4 times. I manually offset the Z height per the distance they suggest on their website. Did not work. I finally doubled that and got a good print, but guess what? The print won't come of of this plate! Again, referenced their website and nothing they suggested works even remotely. I literally spent 30 minutes scraping it off (hoping to not crack my glass). Figured I'd try another print, but half of the surface was now warped like a bad window tint job. I cut another piece to replace that section and tried another print with same settings. The hot end dug a huge melted grooved right through the center of the EZ-Stik surface. Are you kidding me???I have since been positioning all prints away from the center to avoid this spot. Now the prints just aren't adhering at all and warp within 5 minutes of printing.Did I really spend $32 to get FOUR prints?!?!?!?! All because I hate watering down PVA glue and getting some warping now & then???Horrible.
