The process in called flat lapping.
I have not tried to get into the 3d printing arena because I have a clue how much I don't know. This for example.
Is the PEI magnet surface any "flatter" than stock?
After watching this video ,I am glad I didn't try removing the stock creality magnetic bed plate .
I simply installed the PEI magnet directly over top . this may have improved the factory warpage to some degree
The hours this poor fellow wasted on a less than 40$ item is incredible.

Twice as thick .
And whatever it is called what this fellow did to a cheap bed is a total waste of time imo .
One can purchase a completely flat sheet of aluminum that is not as prone to warpage as these cheapo heatbeds are and construct an new bed in a 10th of the time this fellow wasted .
Though it is interesting to see his clever mapping in software.
Thank you for the encouragement.
I would love to get into boating as well but then I looked up the definition of "boat": A hole in the water that you throw time and money into.
I have too many hobbies that fit that definition already.
Good talk. Now if you will excuse me, I need to go troubleshoot an SS-24, track down a bad connection in a pixel string, rebuild my window frames, ....

I'm with you...I responded in another thread about 3D printers about how my "finance manager" only wants to know exactly *why* I need a 3D printer. Short answer: I don't, but I bet I could find a use for it. Her response was that I've already got enough expensive hobbies and knowing me as well as she does, she knows I would start buying all sorts of little extras on top of just the normal supplies you would need for a 3D printer. Yes, it would be nice for me to see some of the cool little items that others are doing here, and print some out for myself, but the reality is that I don't truly need one at this point.
I bought one last spring. Then I bought another in the fall. Then I bought a whole boat load of upgrades. Then I bought a boat. So, yeah.
