Suggested Amazon replacement for heatbed?
Hello,
I am very new to 3D printing and I can sadly say that some unattended calibrations have really ruined my heatbed. Oops.
Well, I need to get another one and there are a few options on Amazon. Does anyone have a recommendation on what the best, easiest-to-use replacement for the MK2 heatbed might be? Can I just pop the original MK2 one off and replace it perfectly with an aftermarket one?
Thanks in advance!
Re: Suggested Amazon replacement for heatbed?
You likely only really need a new PEI sheet which is available in the shop and I received mine in 4 days. Alternatively, you can order a replacement from CS Hyde in the US, but you need to specify glossy side down as the default is up and although up provides a nice bottom finish, my OCD gets the better of me. If you really need a whole heated bed, a non-Mk2 will not allow for XY skew compensation or auto-bed calibration, so your machine will be more like a MK1 than a MK2. You can get a replacement MK2 heatbed from Prusa (although you have to ask support in chat to order one) or from Orballo Printing, but the cost is the same (shipping aside).
