The bed is very flat compared to the OEM bed. The BL-touch finds very little variation across the bed when leveling. The bed works great for parts sticking to the bed and releasing easily. the bottom of the prints come out shiny and have a carbon fiber pattern on them. The only thing that disappointed me was a corner was crushed. The packaging was undamaged and the item was properly packed. It had zero effect on the functionality of the bed, but when you spend almost $200 including shipping on a bed, seeing a corner impacted and spitting apart and knowing it was packaged that way to be sold as new is disappointing.

I rarely review things this soon or at all, but I bit the bullet, deciding to buy a CF build plate for my Ender 5 Plus. I print mostly PETG, which is a known glass destroyer. After 3 days printing on this surface with PETG, I've found it has the exact right amount of adhesion when using a glue stick as an interference layer. It heats well, remains flat, and the prints pop off easily without having any adhesion loss or warping at the corners during the print cycle. First layers stay clean and smooth without worry. Plain water and wipe dry, it's staying clean and glossy. It's not cheap by any means, but neither is losing a glass bed and having to get a replacement before you can print your next run.
