New gen Heated bed with better heat distribution ? Hy guy`s Alot People always struggle at having large prints sticking not very well to the print surface, as maybe some peolple know the actual MK1/2/3 heatbeds always have a uniform heatingzone, but with this the heat is for sure always more at the center than at the outer parts. So i thought, why not make two heating zones. one center with less power per cm² than the second one on the outer corners with more power ? Note: the following drawing is only a sketch of it, as i`m no electronics guy, i don`t know anything of the right layers and stuff. heatedbed2.jpg mod_embed_images_loadimage('23de9f78bd8a082516227c5ff57cbd19', '/forum/thumbcache/679/777/388/9d8/b23/b74/5fd/4ec/e30/9f8/1a_800x400.png', 'http://chrisu02.bplaced.com/mist/heatedbed2.jpg', 'https://reprap.org/forum/addon.php?181,module=embed_images,check_scaling=1,url=http%3A%2F%2Fchrisu02.bplaced.com%2Fmist%2Fheatedbed2.jpg', '', 479074, 800, 400, 'Loading image ...', false); the most outer line ist just the dimension of the bed, not a heating circuit. Maybe someone knows a little bit more if this concept will work.
