Topic: What upgraded heatpad for SD2

Hi,

I´m cheking the web for quite 1,5 hours and not finding anything.
Lawsy writes about an silicon heated pad here: http://www.soliforum.com/topic/1819/hea … isonsstls/ but I cannot find it to buy (or to ship to germany)

Does anyone have an idea what to take?

Whatever I try, long prints always lift of on certain spots of the build plattform. I think upgrading the heatpad is the only thing I can do.

What about those headpads:

any expecience with them? It´s a bit to wide but I think i can get it in the SD2
(have an HP PSU as well)

Thanks!

OR... any ideas against the lifting?

Re: What upgraded heatpad for SD2

Have you upgraded your power supply yet?  The stock PSU is not strong enough to get the bed to over 90 C, in my experience.  That would be the first thing I would do.  Instructions: http://www.soliwiki.com/Upgrade_The_Power_Supply

Next is to start using a glue stick on the bed to help it stick.  Consider also adding a glass bed.  Do a search for that, there are many posts, including a recent one from me.

Finally, build an enclosure for your printer if you have not already.  3 sides enclosed will give good results, full enclosure including top will give best results.

All of this is how I completely solved any lifting issues.  I have found that I did not need to upgrade the bed, just the PSU, in order for it to reach the temps I needed.

Done all of that,
HP PSU

and of course glass bed

normaly i use ABS on 90 -92°C on the glass bed. it takes so much time to heat up. even with the new psu that heating up time has not reduced
