Heatbed issues

Hi,

I have a curious little issue. 2 MK2Ss here and the older of the two I am having an issue with heatbed times. The newer of the two heats up quickly the older, well I've been sat here for 20 minutes and it still hasn't hit 100degrees; the newer is 3% through a print and was started afterwards!

Any ideasa what it might be? PSU or heatbed or something else?

Thanks

Barry.

I would contact Prusa they should be able to tell you what to test to see where the issue is.

Check the thermistor on the bottom of the bed. This happened to me awhile ago, and I found my thermistor was pulled out of the tape and hanging below the bed. There's a circle under the tape where the thermistor should be if you need to retape it.

Re: Heatbed issues

Another thing to check is the output voltage on the PSU. A small voltage difference could affect the bed's ability to get to higher temps like 100C.
