Topic: heated bed broken

My heated bed broke a month ago, since then i have contacted Solidoodle but they are not receiving any spare heated bed.
Is there a compatible heated bed i could buy on internet.

Re: heated bed broken

I replaced mine with a 120v heater pad and a solid state relay to run it. Of course, I did also have to update my firmware with the proper PID settings to make the temperature rock steady.

Thanks for sharing (all nine times). This is not a mod for the inexperienced or faint of heart.  I have been running mine for well over two years.  I still would caution anyone considering this mod.  Do your homework and be sure you understand the risks.
