Other Heating Bed
Hello, unfortunately I have to translate with Google. I have the Prusa MK2 / S with the heating bed MK42. Can I alternatively use other heating beds? Or do I have to use the expensive original. Because there the PET sticks oily objects firmly. Accordingly, my interface looks now.
Re: Other Heating Bed
if your models are not sticking to your pei sheet, you can try cleaning the PEI sheet with dish wash detergent, or pure acetone! ... Information here >>> https://help.prusa3d.com/article/6Gtws6Yqjg-pei-print-surface-preparation
you can change the PEI sheet, if yours is damaged... information here >>> https://help.prusa3d.com/article/wxj1BrUztc-pei-ultem-is-damaged
XYZ calibration on the Mk2, uses special pads in the surface of the mk42 heatbed, to show if the frame is straight or skewed.
you could upgrade to Mk2.5 and this would give you a removeable print surface...
if you change out the heatbed for a non prusa bed, you will lose the xyz calibration facility.
you could add stick on, removeable build plates, but this may upset bed levelling.
stick on magnetic surfaces have low temperature capabilities. which may be a problem
or you could buy someone elses' heatbed and manage whatever problems come with that!
