After one year, my original heatbed is being changed to the newer MK2B PCB Heat Bed. I am sick of waiting for the bed to heat up!!

That seems like a cheap upgrade. There’s exposed traces on the top, though, right? Mine bolts under my aluminum bed so it would need a strip of Kapton or something to insulate the exposed top side traces, I think. Is the lower edge the only place where there are traces on the “top” of the board?

I hate slowly heating beds!! Drives one mad waiting for temp.

@Understanding_3D_Pri jepp! because you can mount it both ways right?! But it is only exposed where you are mounting your wires, on both sides :slight_smile: Kapton tabe woult probobly work great, but you could also remove the aluminium there, it would make the wires come out smoother also :slight_smile:

@Christopher_Deschamp Sure does! the old took 1 hr to heat up to 30 degrees…
