I'm purchasing a 300mm by 300mm heating pad for my 440mm by 880mm build plate. Sufficient? Need two? How would I wire two? [Megatronics V3]

Has anyone tried unique build plate covers for sticking prints like 2K clear coat/powder coating/etc?

For the heatbed, I custom ordered a silicone heater.. a 230mmx300mm (thats my build platform.. its on the 120Vac rail. they dont cost much.. I think I paid under 100$ for 2 of them.. best of all, you dont need a big power supply becase they are on the 120v.. so, you need about 6A for a single extruder with motors. 10A for a double extruding system.
a simple SSR (solid state relay) will do the trick to turn on and off the heater. and best of all, it come with a built in thermistor (NTC 100k) and 3M sticking pad so you can stick it under the glass.
You can custom size it, ask for the Watts and voltage you need.. mine are 500W/110V so its about 5W/inch² the average PCB heater is arount 2W/inch².
just my 2¢ ;-)
