Heated bed mounting position
June 10, 2013 04:20AM
Hi.

I am finishing to build my prusa i3.

I have a question: should the heated bed be mounted with the plate wired part on top.

check the picture:



Is this ok? Or should I put the wired part on bottom?

Thanks!

thats fine, but the little glass bead (thermistor) should go through the hole in the middle.

thank you for the reply

so, it should go through the middle hole and put it between the glas and the heated bed?

The glass should lay flat on the heated bed. The thermistor is placed in the center hole. I use polyimide tape on the backside of the heated bed to keep itthe thermistor in position. If the thermistor is on the edge as in your pic it won't give an accurate temp reading for the center of the bed.
