I can't seem to find if anyone tried these heating element for a heated bed. Seems like it would work similar to silicone pads. Have anyone tried this?

I used the 4 PTC heater elements (220 volt with 100 degrees max) fixed to the back of a hexagonal aluminium
plate on my delta printer. Heaters available here: [www.aliexpress.com] . They are selflimiting temperature to 100 degrees - no need for extra electronics to regulate the temperature on the bed.

Xabbax :
I like the PTC heater also.

aduy :
I suppose you can buy more than one and put it together. Since it is just a heating element, running it with 120V just reduces the output. I see no problem with that.
