Does someone have a tip as to how I can mount a MK2 heater pcb to the underside of my MIC6 bed? I have the physical mounting done as I am mounting to match the drill holes on the pcb, but am concerned about shorting the bed as it has exposed solder pads on both sides. what is the best way to insulate those from shorting on the aluminum while still being able to heat the bed to ABS temps?
I think an mk2 through a mic6 plate will likely never reach and temps. I might think about adding a silicone or kapton heating pad to the mic6 plate instead.
That being said you could insulate between the two with Kapton, and adhear it via 3m 468mp high temp adhesive if you desire to use the MK2 bed.
Specific to the contacts shorting point, kapton tape on the side going to the metal will insulate.
Been running a 150mm bed recently and am getting heat up times I’m fine with for this printer. (About 10 min to 100C). It’s going to be my backup backup very soon and really just need it to get through these next couple weeks printing primarily PLA and PETG. Never thought of Kapton for some reason… I definitely have some of that and will give it a try.
But to sum up, yes I agree a MK2 isn’t a proper implementation, but silicone isn’t something I can wait for from china nor justify spending the money on from the US.
