Looking for a new manual levelled hotbed and magnetic plate

Hey guys, I've got a homebuilt RepRap Marlin flavoured printer, I'm looking for a new hotbed + magnetic plate that levels manually (i've got the screws and springs already), to change that inductive auto level that's never working.

Any recommandations please ? My actual bed is 220x220mm and 12v for the heating plate. (I can go 240x240 if really needed). Ideally with chamfered screw holes already

thanks !

Get an MK52 clone heated bed from aliexpress. The spring steel plate also works great with an inductive probe

And it's the max size that you can place, around 254*254 I believe.

@ Ohmarinus

Does the Inductive probe not give issues with the magnetic field of the bed?
I believe i destroyed an inductive sensor a while back because of the magnets attached under my bed plate.
It was no longer usable and i had to throw it away and bought an capactive sensor.

Now that i think of it, Prusa does use this combo. Not sure how it does not seem to give issues but did for me.



@golfox2

Another option would be getting an aluminium tool casting plate which is very flat, you would have to drill the holes yourself though.
That combined with a 12v heater pad if you don't want to swap the PSU, a High temp magnetic sheet for on the tooling plate and a Flex spring steel plate with a PEI layer.


Actually, i have the above in 220x220x5 mm laying around from my old printer. If interested and you live in Europe send me a PM.

@govahnator : I just received my hotbed 12v and i'll be assembling it asap, but thanks for the offer, if this one doesn't work, i'll contact you for the laying bed you have

So, for the update, everything works perfectly and it's beautiful !
Thanks for the help
it's a 12V
