Summary

A double-sided epoxy-coated spring-steel build plate sold as a spare or replacement surface for the Creality Hi printer, listed at $11.58 in Creality’s US store.

Full research notes and sources

Which model this is

This is the Creality Hi Epoxy Resin Build Plate: a spring-steel plate with a double-sided epoxy resin coating sold for the Creality Hi printer, listed at 280 × 260 mm by 3DJake. It is not Creality’s double-sided black textured PEI plate for the same printer, and it is not the Ender-5 Max epoxy plate. The Creality Hi Combo is listed as compatible in the product specs, but that was not confirmed on the pages read for this exact epoxy variant, so treat it as unverified.

Seller listings and labeling

Retailer pages disagree about what this plate is: 3D Printing Canada and 3D Printing USA describe it as a resin/SLA/MSLA build plate for Creality resin printers, while 3DJake lists it as an FDM spring-steel plate for the Creality Hi. Dimensions also vary by source and variant: 3DJake gives 280 × 260 mm for the Hi epoxy variant, while a Creality Singapore page lists a Creality Hi plate at 280 × 265 mm, but that page is for the double-sided black textured PEI variant rather than the epoxy one. No official spec sheet or manual for this plate was found on the Creality download or wiki pages read. Adhesion, flatness and heat-resistance claims are marketing statements with no measured values in the sources read, and no material-compatibility list was documented for this exact variant.

Creality’s US store lists the plate at $11.58, with quantity discounts of 15% at two units, 20% at four and 30% at six, which works out to about $9.84, $9.26 and $8.11 per plate. 3DJake lists the Hi-size variant at £18.00. 3D Printing USA showed the item out of stock in the US at the time of reading, with a link to Canadian inventory. Ongoing cost is mainly replacement plates and cleaning supplies; no subscription or consumable lock-in was documented. The Creality US store page carries an “Up to 12-Month Warranty” badge, but no separate warranty document was found.

Is it worth it?

At $11.58 from Creality’s US store, this is a low-cost spare or replacement surface for an owner who already has a Creality Hi. Bulk discounts lower the per-unit cost further. Because no measured flatness, adhesion or durability data were found, a quality ranking against the PEI textured Hi plate or third-party plates cannot be supported from the sources read. The main risk is ordering the wrong variant: verify the exact printer and plate size before buying, since listings are inconsistent.
