I'm looking at 170mm square heater beds and want to buy from well-known brands due to various safety problems. Keenovo looks interesting but they are very expensive sad smiley

.
İs there any suggestion??

Stop looking for name brands, they are always expensive

Whatever heater you use, I suggest you get it without adhesive and use high temperature silicone to mount it. The pressure sensitive adhesive they supply has a tendency to let go after a couple years of heating and cooling.

And don't mount it on a piece of glass.Use a thick aluminum plate to spread the heat.

Thanks for your answers, I'm in the prototyping process of a 3D printer, and cause of it, I have to use them commercially. Which supplier do you prefer or do you use?

I bought a 230V silicone heater from Shenzen Ali Brother Technology several years ago and it is still working well.

I have always used keenovo after I have had problems with the cheaper heaters. I have had a keenovo on my large machine for over 6 years and its used 6+ hours everyday. It is defiantly worth spending on a higher quality heater
