QuotePippyA silicon heat pad would certainly be the easiest way ! Will see about that when I get the parts and set about to try to make one! Still a few open questions, but I'll make my own thread when I get the parts and start making a mess Looking forward to seeing how this turns out!by bearer - Mechanics
Interesting; currently looking for a custom solution to add thermal fuses as it seems most readily available solutions lack this. I was leaning towards a custom silicone pad, mostly to avoid holes in the heater plate. Are you able to get a thermal image of the top of the bed to see how even the heat is distributed?by bearer - Mechanics
Anyone considered using GT2 belts as encoders? An array of IR sensors could help with the resolution, and the belt directly driving the axis might reduce backlash?by bearer - General
I'm truly impressed with the designs of Lautr3k and iTopie. For me 2020 rails are really hard to find at a reasonable price, unless buying a lot, but then customs fees and taxes can kill the pricing. So I want the speed and quietness of v-slot and wheels, and the low price point of MDF. I think I will set out to build iTopie with 2020 v-slot instead of round shafts and linear bearings.
