Hi Folks, I am about to order a 300x300 mm Silicone heatpad for a 340x340x6mm Cast plate. Found this one [www.ebay.com] It is the cheapest i have found, but the picture of more expensive listings is the same.. it seems like 20 accounts offer the same product at different prices, but all from the same store! Now i would much prefer one like keenovo with silicone cables but i guess i can still use some kind of tubing, not sure what though appart from heat shrink tubing. Does anyone have experience with similar products, am i playing with safety and should i pay 3x the price and get a Keenovo? - Cheers https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,835910,835910#msg-835910 Thu, 16 Apr 2026 07:43:30 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,835910,836021#msg-836021 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,835910,836021#msg-836021
I ordered a 300x300 600w 220v one, as it seems indeed 750w is overpowered.]]> Govahnator Reprappers Fri, 12 Oct 2018 08:52:33 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,835910,835982#msg-835982 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,835910,835982#msg-835982 this one from Keenova on my delta for three+ years.

It doesn't pay to get the cheapest when the risk of a fire is fairly high.]]> etfrench Reprappers Thu, 11 Oct 2018 16:21:46 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,835910,835972#msg-835972 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,835910,835972#msg-835972 dc42 Reprappers Thu, 11 Oct 2018 12:39:37 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,835910,835949#msg-835949 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,835910,835949#msg-835949
Ok i will go for a 300x300mm 600w 220v heatpad then ;) The heater is small since the bed is 340x340

I was not worried about the heat resistance of the fiber wires, more the durability compared to silicone wires.]]> Govahnator Reprappers Thu, 11 Oct 2018 06:04:56 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,835910,835933#msg-835933 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,835910,835933#msg-835933
Another supplier of silicone heaters that I have used is Shenzhen Ali Brother Technology, via Ali Express.]]> dc42 Reprappers Thu, 11 Oct 2018 01:44:55 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,835910,835927#msg-835927 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,835910,835927#msg-835927 I'd be more concerned about the huge amount of power. The thermistor will reach target temperature in no time, but you should consider waiting some extra minutes to allow the cast bed to spread the heat evenly.]]> o_lampe Reprappers Thu, 11 Oct 2018 01:04:42 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,835910,835910#msg-835910 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,835910,835910#msg-835910
