Hi,
Planning to build a heated bed with 300mm x 200mm. It will be supported with two rods of 16mm, 2 linear bearing of 60mm long, threaded screw 8mm with 1.5 pitch and a big nema17 2.5A.
I know two posible options:
1) using a 300x200 mk3 bed, with a 3mm glass on top. (total cost: 39€)
2) Aluminum plate with 320 x 200 x 6mm, 200x200 silicone heater and a 3mm glass on top. (total cost 50€)
Only have experience with the first solution, it work ok on my 200x200 bed, but not sure if is a good option with a bigger bed. the mk3 bed is very slim (2mm)
About the second option, i only found aluminum plate with 6mm thick, the plate only will have 1kg. Not sure if is not to heavy for the setup.
What will be the best option between the two?
there is other better solution i do not know?
