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.

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.
