heating pad 220 volt
-
Hi there
I have mounted the heating pad under the aluminium bed (620x620x4mm). It's a 1200 watt, 220 volt pad, powered by a relay (with a 24 volt coil) driven by the "heated bed" contacts on the Duet2 wifi board.
I tuned it to a temperature of 45°C as I currently have a normal glass plate that may not hold up to 60°C.
It seems to work... but I can hear the relay being activated/deactivated all the time and would like to avoid damage.
Is there any way I can operate it in a less 'wobbly' way?
I attach the config.g file:

Don't use a mechanical relay, use a zero crossing DC-AC SSR. This will also allow you to use PID control for the bed heater.
A normal glass plate will handle high temperatures as long as there is a heat spreader (e.g. aluminium sheet) between the heater and the glass. Bonding the heater directly to the glass is not advisable, but if you do then use borosilicate glass.

Ok for relay.
This is my bed

@bernardomattiucci, that looks good. I think your glass will be OK up to at least 100C, as long as you don't spill cold water on it while it it hot. I've had my 4mm glass bed on top of 5mm aluminum up to 120C.

@dc42 then,
I fitted the "zero crossing DC-AC SSR" instead of the relay and it seems to work.The glass I'm using is very normal window glass... and I've been advised against exceeding 50°C. As soon as I have a chance I would like to put a borosilicate glass or tempered glass top... I don't know which of the 2 is better in terms of material adhesion (mostly PLA). Any advice?
Which command should I give to do autotuning (I can't remember which one I used....
) -
@bernardomattiucci I use for PLA both, borosilicate glass and normal "mirror glass". I have no problems with adhesion...
-
Regular float glass is fine as long as you don't shock it. I use 100C all the time without issues.
