I got an old Monoprice Mini Delta printer with a pretty beaten up printing plate, for $12 bucks I was ready to give it a second chance in life.It was pretty easy to remove the old plate surface (using only my fingers to avoid scratching the aluminum pad) and after a cleansing with rubbing alcohol I was able to stick these in place. Since the actual printing mat is magnetically attached is much easier to remove the printed pieces. It fits a little bigger than the original, but I don't see any problem with that, if anything it looks even better to the eye, at least for this printer.This should be stock on these printers.Absolutely recommend!

Magnet doesn't have enough force to hold in place for normal printing. At first, it would slide all over the place until I put a shot of hair spray between the magnets. That stopped the sliding, but then the edges would start to lift about 10 layers into the print. I had to glue it in place until my wham-bam gets here.Save your money

This is working great for me so far. 20+ prints. I see a lot of complaints of the magnet not being strong enough.If you rotate the top plate it will hit a certain point where it will stick very well and will not move.Unfortunately mine did not have any printing on the top to help with that but it is easy enough to to on your own.It still beats the stock plate hands down and saves a lot of time removing the print job from the surface of the printer.

This is a nice bed replacement for the Monoprice Mini Delta. It's slightly flimsy, and the magnet is a little weaker than I'd be happy with for any more money, and the bed material is about 5mm too big to directly replace the bed on the Mini Delta. For the money, however, I don't think it can be beaten.

So i have tested this with a few prints on my monoprice mini delta printer. I have used mono price PLA and eSun PETG. First off, the magnets are strong in certain positions. The magnets will snap on place and you will know when the fit is tight....unfortunately it looks as though when it is tightly in place to the magnets, its off centered and the top magnetic part is off center a bit enough to hang over the build plate bottom. This isnt a HUGE deal but it does look a little odd, its not enough to mess with the build dimensions as of yet.I am using a build plate bed temp of about 60c and it adheres the petg well enough to the plate, perhaps a little too well. When using a brim, i get lots of left over petg stuck to the build plate. It may be an issue with calibration on my end but even on all sides there is lots of residue from the filament.I will say removing a print is satisfying, just pull it off and bend the plate.If they sold extra top pieces (Since the bottom piece is adhered to the plate....i would be interested in purchasing as spares. For the price point its worth trying out.Edit - so after bed leveling and messing with this further.....i gotta say, the filament residue is not fun. Its messing with prints and causing issues.

Well, the original surface on my MonoPrice Mini Delta lasted for about a year but was starting to peel off in bits where I had gouged it with my spatula trying to get prints off. So it was time to look for a replacement.I got a glass bed at first and it worked great. With some wood glue (Elmer's) thinned with water, PLA prints stuck to it like no-one's business. But they stuck almost too well and I was afraid I'd cut my hands trying to get them off.So I tried with this magnetic product. A couple of things -- the top sheet and the bottom sticky sheet only stick together well in one orientation. In other orientations, they will slip and slide and not stick well. So figure out what that orientation is and either make a set of matching marks with a paint-marker, or just remember. Because you have to line them up exactly so for them to stick.Other than from that, the hardest thing about this is getting the old sticky remainders of the old bed off. This product comes with a "3M" sticky back (not quite sure if it's legit 3M product, but it sticks well) and sticks well to the raw aluminium bed of the Monoprice.So far, a happy camper. The monoprice only heats up to around 60~65C so there's no chance of demagnetizing this with heat. Hopefully it'll last long -- since there's no more spatula gouging, I have high(er) hopes!
