Assembly of the heated bed

September 17, 2010

Just a quick update on the build.

Electric insulation of the bed by covering it up in kapton tape.

After marking the resistors on the kapton tape I removed some tape to make place for the resistors and the magnets.

Then I placed the resistors on the board with a little bit of thermal paste between them and the board. (don’t know if it will make any difference)

Then I placed the magnets, I immediately noticed how strong they are. They attract metal tools and each other like hell. Something that asks some attention.

This is the result. Wiring has also been done and now I’m still waiting for an arduino to connect everything up. I’ll keep you updated.
