Help with Heated Bed for new build
-
E3D sells a dual voltage 300x200mm PCB bed heater.
-
dc, just been on their site and can't find.
-
See https://forum.e3d-online.com/index.php?threads/bigbox-status.2338/page-6#post-27399. It's a new item and it's gone through a design revision since that prototype, so perhaps they don't have it in production quantities yet. OTOH they may have some spare prototypes. I suggest you ask about availability at the end of that forum thread, or send Greg an email.

Thanks, will give email a try

Hi first post here,
I will be in same position as you but am looking for a 24V bed for a mini-kossel type with 2020 frame. Basically have no idea of what I am doing and learningcurve is steep
I am wondering what is a good established source to order from in europe as I am located in Dublin, Ireland

I'd consider a silicone heater which you really have to buy from China, I can recommend Keenovo. However I've had good performance from Kapton heaters on Kossel Mini-sized beds.

Thanks DjDemonD, I found this link and wonder if it would be suitable for Kossel Mini size, 200mm was smallest diameter I could find for the Keenovo - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Dia-200mm-300W-220V-w-3M-PSA-NTC-100K-Thermistor-Keenovo-Round-Silicone-Heater-Pad-Delta/32575792674.html?spm=2114.search0302.4.84.yuPMrs In addition I would need a SSR to controll it, any suggestions (again for UK/Ireland/Eu type availability?).
If I understand this correctly, the kapton heaters might not be so safe, but for 24V and a small heater, just starting out perhaps it is good enough? In which case should I try to find heater for Anycubic kossel mini perhaps, or what is my best bet?
Again, thank you for help -
200 x 300 are listed there.

Keenovo via aliexpress will make a custom heater for you for barely more than the ready made ones. Just specify the voltage and wattage you need. I got them to make me a 100mm 50w 12v heater for £24 delivered.
-
Thanks number40fan and DjDemonD for help
I will look into it and update with results later. -
If you are in the US, filastuder has the E3D 300x200 beds https://www.filastruder.com/collections/e3d-spare-parts-and-accessories/products/e3d-varipower-heated-bed-pack?variant=13972820548

Thanks All, managed to snag one from E3D.

I finally decided on a 24v silicon 300w heater from ebay > http://www.ebay.ie/itm/3D-Printer-Round-Silicone-Heated-Bed-12v-24v-heat-plates-Dia-180mm-260mm-/192070208772?var=&hash=item728ace1000
My 24 PSU from E3D should hopefully be able to power it with the duet wifi and steppers.
In order to complete it, I will need to find supplier for the aluminium and glass plate before I can hook it up on my 2020 mini kossel type 3d printer.
Do anyone have any tips for setting it up in terms of config files etc. I will be using S3D to generate Gcode, but as you can probably tell I am all new to this

There is a Mini Kossel folder on the Duet SD card that should get you started or very close to.

Not in newer releases. We recommend using the configuration generator:
