RepRap Pro Mendel Does anybody know what temperature the bed should be able to reach. I can only just make 100degrees, which seems barely hot enough to stick ABS. The power is delivered through the thick, probably around 2.5mm cable supplied with the Mendel pro kit with a board terminal block voltage of 11.9v which should be high enough - I will check on the bed terminal end. The ambient temperature is around 23 degrees Is this normal? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,187485,187485#msg-187485 Fri, 13 Mar 2026 23:22:29 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,187485,190058#msg-190058 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,187485,190058#msg-190058 Core Storage Reprappers Wed, 06 Mar 2013 03:28:42 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,187485,190021#msg-190021 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,187485,190021#msg-190021 xclusive585 Reprappers Wed, 06 Mar 2013 00:57:53 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,187485,189902#msg-189902 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,187485,189902#msg-189902 That worked a treat, I couldn't find the self adhesive stuff you spoke of, so I used double sided carpet sticky tape, bubble wrap and silver foil. Now I can get it up to 215 and the abs sticks very well.
I had wanted to get it hotter than 100 because when printing multiple small objects the print head would often clip previously printed items whilst passing across the bed , making some come unstuck.

And the PSU is rated at 12 Amps.
Any suggestions welcome, thanks.]]> Core Storage Reprappers Tue, 26 Feb 2013 20:36:57 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,187485,187619#msg-187619 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,187485,187619#msg-187619 Polygonhell Reprappers Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:08:12 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,187485,187585#msg-187585 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,187485,187585#msg-187585 konwiddak Reprappers Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:34:28 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,187485,187485#msg-187485 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,187485,187485#msg-187485 Does anybody know what temperature the bed should be able to reach.
