I think I will go with a silicone mat, as per this guy's recommendation, which I have found on aliexpress in the right size.

Not sure if your control board can run the 6 x 6" PCB heater directly...it will probably require around 60-75 watts to run with more than that at startup.  If the board can support that current draw, then you can plug in the 6x6" and be good to go.

Now, if it turns out that your board cannot support the current draw, then you should get a SSR (Solid State Relay) DC-DC and control the bed with that; the input side of the SSR being hooked up to your control board, and the output side being used to switch the bed on and off wired directly into the Power Supply.

Also, the Power Supplies supplied by SD were notoriously under spec'd.  An upgraded PSU is recommended.

Nice one.  I hadn't found that.

Do you know whether or not I should get the integrated thermistor / heat bed relay?  I'll be looking for an install guide too

Edit:  Board is $23 and shipping is $22.50 to the UK sad

New part of this post:
I think I will buy a Keenovo 150x150mm silicone heat mat and just stick it to my glass bed, mounting that on the existing aluminium bed using a spacer of some kind.

Any thoughts before I buy?  At 180W i'll be getting an SSR and have an upgraded 30A PSU.  Is that enough?


Old part of this post:
All the PCB heatbeds seem to start at 200x200mm, but I want one for my SD2.

Edit: I'm in the UK and http://3dheatbeds.com/ doesn't ship here.

Edit 2:  Mission shift time.  I want to get the 150x150mm silicone mat and milled planed aluminium sheet described in this guys video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eure74A9HNc

The mat can be had on aliexpress pretty easily, but I'm not so sure
(a) what aluminium sheet to get (I want a flat one, of course)
and
(b) whether ABS/PLA will print directly onto a perfectly heated aluminium sheet
(c) how to stick the mat to the sheet.
