FWIW, I added one to my Mars2 Pro and the print success rate dropped down to 0. Removed it again and decided to go with the metal spatula to take off my prints even though it scratches the build plate. A new build plate is about the same price as the magnetic plate mod. Also, my first build plate looks pretty bad visually by now, but not a single problem still with builds falling off. So all in all, I cannot recommend those flexible plates at all.
Now you're probably wondering why the print success rate rate dropped:
* The magnetic plate is much smoother than even the worst scratched Mars 2 build plate so larger prints stick to the FEP and not the magnetic plate
* If, by chance, the print still sticks strong to the magnetic plate, it bends and you're left with a rounded bottom (top - depends on the point of view) surface of your print. The magnet doesn't seem strong enough.
That said, I imagine it might work well for printing many smaller minis, but for larger functional parts this wasn't good at all for me.
