Pros & Cons
Pros
Creality k1 pei build plate is an excellent upgrade for any 3d printer. It fits perfectly on an ender-3. I like that it is a creality branded product so i know it will work with my printer.
This is one of the more deeper textured pei plates that i have used and has a more ridged feel to the final print first layer. Using this black pei garners fantastic results. If you're z offset is spot on, no skirt or brim needed.
The creality k1 pei build plate has a magnetic base that makes it easy to install and remove from your 3d printer. It snaps to the magnet nice. If you have a bed that's not totally flat, aluminum foil can be used as shims between the magnet and pei. C... Read More
I get good adhesion with this bed and it's thicker/sturdier than some of the no name pei plates i've gotten. Fairly easy to install, removing the bed magnet was harder, works decently.

Nothing would stick to the bed at all.
Highlights
Quality

Competitiveness
I like that it is a creality branded product so i know it will work with my printer.
This works for ender models as well as several anycubic models with the same bed size.

When the build plate is hot a light dusting barely does anything but after it cools the coating becomes fragile and lets the prints break away

After installing the build plate on my printer i first trammed my printer and then ran a test print on the printer

The pei material is quite nice with one of the most amazing things being how well it can grip the plastic parts during printing while the bed is heated up but then once the bed cools off everything pops off incredibly easily

I was hoping this bed would be the answer to being able to print petg without using a glue stick on the bed but unfortunately thats not the case as out of 4 printed petg parts so far i had one warp pretty badly midprint but i suppose that could be due to the ender 3s bed not having the most uniform heat across the entire heat plate

The textured look that gets left behind on the first later is interesting
