Topic: Successful Heatbed Replacement
Hello,
So after my glass bed chipped I decided to look for a replacement. The 214x214mm MK2B heatbeds are widely available on eBay for less than $10. Got myself one and figured out quickly that it is only a few mm too large for the DV print bed. After initially considering shaving a few mm of the circuit board, I instead simply mounted the new heat bed on top of the bed frame and placed the glass on top of that. The metal clips work perfectly for holding everything in place - but I now want to get a 214x214mm glass sheet to cover the entire top area of the heatbed, plus I am considering relocating the thermister to the center. After a quick adjustment of the Z home point to -3 mm and a calibration the printer seems to work just as good as before.
