I have a heavily modified Ender 3 Pro, and have had good and bad times with the buildtac bed (I’ve replaced many times). I’ve tried some PEI beds and had mixed results, but I got this one 2-3 months ago and over ~20 prints it’s been just fantastic.

Amazon link, but not affiliate. Posting because the previous PEI build plate I got was the worst thing ever.
I’m not knowledgeable about Ender but all the 3rd party sheets I’ve seen, it’s the bed that’s magnetic.
My bed is glass, but the sheet I bought contained a magnetic sticker, that I stuck on to the glass bed and then I can add my PEI sheet on top.
That’s what’s throwing me, a lot of these I see on Amazon come with a magnetic sticker, but my bed already has that, I believe.
Then you just don’t attach the sticker and use the sheet as is.
Right but that’s what I’m trying to figure out. I thought the magnetic side was that baseplate on my printer, but it seems like the removable bed is the part that is magnetic here… which means the spring-steel type PEI sheets may not work here. I guess before I put in an order I’ll have to remove the current bed and see if there’s any magnetic ‘stick’ on the baseplate.
