Hi Reprappers! I am building a Kossel Mini and purchased the following Kapton heater: [www.ultibots.com] Instead of the normal heat associated with printing in ABS, I would like to maintain my borosilicate glass temperature at 37C (~100F). Where would I start, what would I have to change in Marlin, etc? Thank you! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,373238,373238#msg-373238 Fri, 12 Jun 2026 13:00:06 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,373238,384797#msg-384797 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,373238,384797#msg-384797 your heatbed is a kapton device so you may need some glass or alubed to stabilize mechanically and get some mass.
i understand you want to use 12v on your heatbed to obtain 37C? That would probably be ok but you may have a challenge to obtain a good regulation for accurate temperature.
You need to switch your firmware with PID regulation in configuration.h and make some calibration by using M303 G-commands manually in Repetier Host or similar.

You may set temperature by "M140 S37" command or/and use the above mentioned "M190 S37".
Good luck]]> justcurious General Fri, 18 Jul 2014 07:00:43 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,373238,384483#msg-384483 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,373238,384483#msg-384483 MrDoctorDIV General Thu, 17 Jul 2014 14:33:41 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,373238,384479#msg-384479 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,373238,384479#msg-384479 diytechshop General Thu, 17 Jul 2014 14:28:05 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,373238,373294#msg-373294 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,373238,373294#msg-373294 http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code code of interest are M109 and M190]]> thejollygrimreaper General Sun, 22 Jun 2014 18:37:10 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,373238,373248#msg-373248 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,373238,373248#msg-373248
I am not printing with plastics, I am printing with several materials that will require the slightly elevated temperature. Any ideas on how to achieve this end?

Thanks!]]> Kyle R General Sun, 22 Jun 2014 16:15:06 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,373238,373246#msg-373246 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,373238,373246#msg-373246 Ralph.Hilton General Sun, 22 Jun 2014 16:12:44 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,373238,373243#msg-373243 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,373238,373243#msg-373243 Kyle R General Sun, 22 Jun 2014 16:06:09 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,373238,373238#msg-373238 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,373238,373238#msg-373238
