This is the one i got. It's only one sided smooth, i like it. Just know this one is thicker than the one creality sells and not as flexible and "snaps" really hard into place. Very solid imo. Someone complained about the magnet but im only doing PLA.

My favorite upgrade I've done to my printer is a spring steel PEI Build Plate. At this price, it an absolute bargain. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09BTV3YBC/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_88DWVX07ARQGD960Z6S0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I could argue with myself that I like Octoprint the best, but then I remember all the crazy bed adhesion issues I had, the tape and glue sticks.... it was crazy. To never have to worry about bed adhesion again is a Gawd send.
You want either "377x370" or "376x370" size.

After two months and painful upgrades, this is what I have done to my ender 5 plus, below are all the mods and links.
Must do mods, Quality of Life and minimal intrusion:
Silent Board : Creality (trying a more drop in approach)
PSU Fan: Noctua NF-A4x20 ( No converter needed 12v, check polarity might be reversed)
PEI Bed (3 Piece, don't cheap out ):https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09BTV3YBC/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
Leveling Feet : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4825973 //The bottom is SO low, with this not only helps level, but also clear area for air!
Crossbar Relocator: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4485125 //The crossbar help troubleshot and take pictures, make accessibility so much better.

Was it all Worth it? Are my Printer actually better?
Not really, but now i can print a bit faster and from my computer comfortably with out having machine shop in the background. Also its very cool, neat and smart ( the system now running). Personally i think that the must do should be factory, out of box. Kinda sucks but there should be a 5 plus pro. My biggest thing looking forward to is the need tips that have the 3 way slicer in the middle by Bondtech CHT that give better results than the Volcano which should let me get to 150mm comfortably. Currently i print at 60mm, though creality and cura set it at 80mms. I have tried 150mm but i get under extrusion just a bit, and I think that nozzle will really set me to the top using a .4mm
