Acrylic non-heated to heated print bed Hello all, I am currently working on my first Prusa. Currently, I am using acrylic as the print bed material. In the case that somewhere down the road I wish to convert to a heated print bed, will I need to replace the acrylic with some other material such as wood? Or can I clamp the heated bed down on the acrylic directly? Does anyone have experience with this? Thank you. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,98794,98794#msg-98794 Sun, 13 Sep 2026 12:49:45 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,98794,98842#msg-98842 Re: Acrylic non-heated to heated print bed https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,98794,98842#msg-98842
If you use an aluminum plate with wirewound power resistors for a heat bed, then it supports itself.]]> brnrd Reprappers Sun, 25 Sep 2011 08:41:49 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,98794,98794#msg-98794 Acrylic non-heated to heated print bed https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,98794,98794#msg-98794
