			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I Love my set up but it isn&#039;t for someone without a strong electrical background.&nbsp; It is basically a Silicone heat pad that looks similar to the one you have.&nbsp; The difference is mine is a 500 watt AC unit that plugs into the wall basically and is controlled via a Solid State Relay (SSR).&nbsp; So unless you truly understand that stuff you should stick with the DC units that run off the board.&nbsp; I have heard great things about the I think they are called qu-bd.&nbsp; There are a lot of posts that cover bed heaters.&nbsp; Did your fail or are you having a power supply issue?&nbsp; That is pretty common.</p>]]></content>

If the switches do not stop the print head when tripping them manually then check the connections on the main board for the limits and if you have a multimeter test the actual switches by unpluging thm at the main board and checking for continuity at the plug while tripping the switch.</p><p>There are a few aftermarket beds out there, some of them will usually require a bigger power supply to work well...</p><p><a href="http://www.soliforum.com/topic/1819/heated-bed-upgrade-guide-with-picscomparisonsstls/">http://www.soliforum.com/topic/1819/hea … isonsstls/</a></p><p><a href="http://www.soliforum.com/topic/2544/my-ceramic-tile-heated-bed/">http://www.soliforum.com/topic/2544/my- … eated-bed/</a></p>]]></content>
