I had a previous review here, but this is better...
I have the carbon fiber and diamond patterns both. The plate thickness is very similar to the Bambu originals. I struggled to get good adhesion to both of these plate designs. I put aside the diamond (which I found marginally worse) and focussed on the carbon fiber design as I had an application need.
First - you do need to disable bed position detection in Bambu studios. Lots of help online on that and really just a box to click so no big deal.
The included instructions suggest adhesion problems can be overcome by moving from the recommended smooth plate selection to a textured plate selection and then if that fails to solve the problem, as a final step, modifying the g-code. I tried all of these (the g-code sounds daunting, but it isn't too bad once you do some online searching); however, none of these sorted my adhesion problems (yes - I did detergent wash the plates too - avoiding even 99% isopropyl alcohol dilutant residue).
So - back to basics.
After some experimentation I did have good success in getting a nice carbon fiber look bottom layer. The trick for me on my Bambu X1 Carbon (latest version @ 15 July 2024) was to make the following changes: 1) increase bottom layer thickness from 0.2 mm to 0.25 mm, 2) decrease the speed for the bottom layer perimeter from 50 to 20 mm/s, and 3) decrease the bottom layer infill speed from 105 mm/s to 20 mm/s.

Product Description
IdeaFormer-3D PEY/PEO/PET/PEI Build Plate For Bambu Labs X1 X1C X1E P1P P1S A1
IF YOUR PRINTER IS FOR X1 SERIES
Our plate is 3rd party build plate, we don't have 2D code. If your printer is X1 series, for the problem of the ArUco / QR code not being recognized, it's the issue for Bambu Lab, you can just ignore the build plate warning or turn off the “enable detection of build plate”.
YOU NEED TO KNOW
1. There is a film in PEO/PET/PEY/Smooth PEI side, please remove it before using the build plate.
2. Every plate will be tested before sending, but if you find some light scratch on the PET/PEO sheet surface, please let us know, and we will solve this problem as fast as we can.
Nice plate with good transfer!
Really like the colourful transfer onto my prints. Makes for a great effect in lighting and especially in pieces that move and hit the light differently. Plate adhesion is great with both PLA and PETG and gets great print quality. Was surprised by the very smooth first layer. Quite reflective finish that is extremely smooth. Good value for my use.

This build plate is way better than the original Bambu Labs one.This build plate is awesome! The adhesion is great and it's easy to remove prints when they've cooled down. I love the pattern and the textured side is so much better than the original one.

Update: after leaving this review, their support team reached out and sent a replacement. Hopefully this one would work better, but J updated the review to 5 stars because of their support.
Original: This happened on the second print on the smooth side. Waste of money.

The product arrived same day and packaged nicely for safe transport.
I absolutely love PEI beds and love this bed for the unique diffraction pattern it produces on the first layer of my prints. Previously I used diffraction grated film taped onto my beds, or 3m vinyl wraps like carbon fiber or forged carbon fiber, however the longevity of usage is not so great with film or vinyl.
When I use these beds with the diffraction pattern side up (it has dual sides, normal PEI textured or the diffraction grating side (triangles) ) I mostly stick with PLA and TPU. Ideaformer states that you should only use PLA, TPU, PETG, or ABS, however I have limited success with PETG and ABS due to poor bed adhesion. The maximum rated temp for these beds is a solid 180c and I don't know many people that ever set their bed past 100c, most printer beds are not even capable of going over 110c. I have no issues with PLA and TPU adhering to the bed. I set bed temp to 65c for both PLA and TPU.
I use this bed on both my Bambu Labs X1 and my Ankermake M5. On the Ankermake M5 it is a little larger than the bed itself but this hasn't been an issue at all. I have completed several hundred prints on the Ankermake M5 using these beds with zero issue. Some people cut the bed to perfect size but I find that unnecessary, plus I can swap the bed from my Bambu to Anker printer without issue. Ideaformer makes these beds with 3 different patterns, small triangles (this one), carbon fiber look, and "starry night". I own all 3 and love them!
To ensure the best results... hopefully your first layer game is on point!
I would definitely recommend this to others!

This is PURE 3D Printer MAGIC!!!
Colour Name: Smooth Pey+textured PeiSize: 257x257Verified Purchase
I had played with the patterned build plates before. They will imprint a bunch of lines in different directions and make the surface look faceted. It is a cool affect, but it is pretty easy to see how it is working. THIS, on the other hand, is pure magic!!! The plate is very colorful with rainbow dots and stars. If you shine an intense light from a flashlight, the effect is even stronger. But who knew it could actually be transferred to the bottom surface of the 3D print!!! This works great! At first I thought that it did not do it, but then under the right angle, the part sparkled with rainbow dots and stars. I tried clear at first-- it was ok-- but a bit hard to see. I then tried black and the pattern was even easier to see. My first print was not that smooth, so I adjusted my build plate a little closer to get a better smear on the build plate and the next one came out looking EXACTLY like the build plate!!! I was amazed! I handed it to several of my coworkers and they were amazed as well. We put it under a microscope and could not see any clues as to how it was working. The stars and dots just appear to float on the surface of the plastic. One thing we heard was that if oil from your hands gets on the surface, the pattern can go away. But, a soft cloth with Isopropyl alcohol takes the oil away and the surface was to completely covered in rainbow dots again. Now I think that I need to find a bunch of cool things to print where the bottom surface is the display surface! So cool! Maybe a communicator shirt pin….This is PURE 3D Printer MAGIC!!!Funovation

1st picture is a clear print, 2nd picture is with black and the 3rd was a close-up. It is really hard to take a picture of just how really cool this looks.
Hope this helps.
