D-Bot coreXY heated bed support
April 17, 2016 08:04AM
I'm well on my way to building a D-bot and have got to the stage of fitting a 200 x 300 mm heated bed.
It looks as if the design has it sitting on 4 springs with level adjustment bolts to attach to the bed supports.
The heater is very flimsy and is sagging in the middle of the long sides and with a glass plate on top I would have lost contact with the heat bed at the centres.

I am wondering if another support should be fitted along the centre, or is there another better way of doing things

I was going to use cork as an insulator but that is also flimsy, should I use a piece of plywood?

Thanks for any help

I have another question.
What should I use to glue cork sheet to the underside of the heat bed?

Glue the heater to the bed plate if it's sagging. Use high temperature silicone.

Use 3 point leveling instead of 4 point leveling if you want to actually level the bed and keep it flat.
