(Asked by: username_0 on 2022-09-07)

The Anycubic Kobra Max comes with a glass plate.

I need to use a textured PEI plate for my Kobra Max.

As I [understand it](https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/a/19871), the PEI plate needs to be used on a magnetic bed plate.

Currently, there is no hotbed with a spring steel magnetic plate available for it yet.

I am still a complete newbie at plates.

Could I use an other magnetic plate for this, or do they have to specific to a certain printer (apart from the size of course)?

Usually the build surface is not the magnetic part, it is just a flexible steel PEI coated plate, so yes you could use a magnetic build platform sourced somewhere else.

Actually there are solutions, note that complete build plate and surface systems are sold for the size of your printer, e.g. look into manufacturer [BuildTak](https://buildtak.eu/collections/removal-solutions/products/complete-buildtak-flexplate-system).
