MK42 Heatbed slow heating

Is my bed is faulty or this is default for everyone? My heatbed MK42 is heating quite fast up to 55-60 degrees, but takes more than 5minutes to get it to 100degrees.

Hi, Murathan,

the Heatbed has a limited heating capacity, so higher temperatures will take longer to achieve. Some folk insulate the underside of the heatbed with a cork tile, this speeds the heating, but also delays the cooling,

It will help you achieve the printing temperature, but delay model removal.
