Using a dividing wall, he separates low voltage components from high voltage mains and powers off temperature controller at 24V. To print the enclosure on Cetus, Richard puts together in F360. This positions the temperature controller, power supply, and MOSFET board all together. Thermocouple and wires are attached using a capton tape and finally the heated bed is remounted. A simple voltage divider is used to drop 24V down to 12V, the required temperature to turn on the MOSFET board. He then connects the MOSFET board to power supply and operates it using relay output of a temperature controller.

And a bi-metal switch is placed with its input, for the heated bed to stay in safe temperature range even with full power. Resistors are wired up in 4S-2P configurations to ensure current draw from power supply is almost 4.2A for a 100W output.

Thermal adhesive can be used for the purpose too. He starts by attaching the power resistors with the two part epoxy. The switching MOSFET and power supply are more than what is needed for application but are used in the project because they were readily available with him.

He wanted to upgrade his 3D printer, so he took some inspiration from a Youtube video of Marco Reps, and rolled up a powerful heated bed. Richard, the initiator of the project is into Magnetic Materials Engineering, and has a great deal of interest in everything related to CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) . Additionally, the heated bed would provide extra power supply to the printer so that overload can be avoided and would give over-temperature protection beyond the usual monitoring. Temperature plays an important role in the printing process too hot or too cold temperature can lead to a mess. This DIY heated bed is designed to monitor and set up the print bed temperature. It assists in improving the print quality drastically by maintaining ideal conditions for the printer to function. Eg.Heated bed is an added module to 3D printer, that ensures a controlled printing process. clh 5 10 //define layers from height 5mm to 10mm. cl 1 100 //define parameter for layer 1 to layer 100.Ĭlh: define print parameter for an range of layer. The followings are parameters, base on the command the number of parameter to be from 0-20, use space or comma to separate different parameters, mostly are number and could be negative or positive numbers.Ĭl: define print parameter for a specific layer or range layers. P(Placement): place model on the surface of build plate, move will not move along x or y axis.Ĭase sensitive, mostly lower case, format “cmd p0 p1 p2”, When sliced the polygon view will be hidden by default, press M will reload the model to print space without reload from the file. N(next):Important!, sequentially select the next model.

X/Y/Z, press once will select the corresponding axis and switch between move, rotation and static mode. When displaying layer slice result, press once will dispaly all layers, if would like to display a specific layer use the scroll bar on the right. Front/Back/Left/Right/Above/BottomviewsĪ if there are models loaded, press once will select all models, press one more time deselect all models. When rotate and scale, only moving mouse up and down will affect the model, left and right will not have any effects.į/B/L/R/U/D. Right click + shift: scale model, if only a particular axis is selected, then it will only scale along the axis Mouse rigt click and drag:if axis is selected, move model or rotate model.
