Topic: Installing a Heated bed

Hi, I bought myself a flashforge Finder, I thought all printers come standard with a heated bed but I guess I was wrong. I found that printed small models is fine but when I print large models the first layer always bends. I've been looking to get myself a heated bed but all the ones on the net seem to be the ones where you need to wire it yourself. I wonder if it's possible to find a heated bed which comes with a plug.  Helicopter 3D sounds: https://klingeltonemp3.info/helicopter-3d.htm
I'm no electronic expert and YouTube videos just baffle me. If anyone could do me one or help me out I'm willing to pay up. Let me know how much

Cheers
