yeah nice tips. Do not help so much when you have bigger bed.
The best thing to do is to get a silicon heater pad operated by mains power and use an SSR to control it. I outfitted my Delta with 220V 800W heater and 110°C is reached under a minute (maybe even 30 seconds but I never timed it).
how big is your bed though ?
I used relay and separate power for the bed & hotend, gets hot fast(bed to 100°c, hotend to 260°c), and less heat on the board
@Hakan_Evirgen Have to be very wary of a control failure with that much power on a bed, though.
@william_foster on my Delta the bed has a diameter of 320mm. Standard bed was taking more than 5 minutes to reach 110°C.
On my Prusa i3 Hephestos 2 the bed is 210 x 297 mm. I am waiting for the new heatbed for it, which will also be operated by 220V.
