Below is a table listing suppliers of filament.<br />
<br />
* There are no prices, because these change quickly and suppliers often don't care to update them.<br />
* Always check before ordering, and if you can, update this page. <br />
* If there are any missing fields in the table, please feel free to update.<br />
* Sellers: please keep your advertisements on your shop page. We already know each of you is the best and the greatest.<br />
<br />
* But most of all '''review your supplier!'''<br />
<br />
== Thermoplastic Filament ==<br />

Below is a table listing suppliers of filament.<br />
<br />
* There are no prices, because these change quickly and suppliers often don't care to update them.<br />
* Always check before ordering, and if you can, update this page. <br />
* If there are any missing fields in the table, please feel free to update.<br />
* Sellers: please keep your advertisements on your shop page. We already know each of you is the best and the greatest.<br />
<br />
* But most of all '''review your supplier!'''<br />

Below is a table listing suppliers of filament.<br />
<br />
* There are no prices, because these change quickly and suppliers often don't care to update them.<br />
* Always check before ordering, and if you can, update this page. <br />
* If there are any missing fields in the table, please feel free to update.<br />
* Sellers: please keep your advertisements on your shop page. We already know each of you is the best and the greatest.<br />
<br />
* But most of all '''review your supplier!'''<br />
<br />
== Thermoplastic Filament ==<br />
<br />
This is ''the'' filament everybody uses. [[ABS]], [[PLA]] and a bunch of specials.<br />
<br />
''If you're looking for a shop in your country, sort by location (click on this little box behind "Shipping location") and you'll find all of them grouped together.''<br />

==WARNING==<br />
<span style="color:red;>"'''WARNING!!!'''<br />
Be aware from where you buying the PCB heatbeds!!<br />
There is one critical thing, the heatbed must be etched directly from 35um copper clad! ASK YOUR SELLER!!!<br />
If the board is plated, as it's normally done, no manufacturer can guarantee the final thickness of copper or even how even the copper is around the board.<br />
Which means that the final power wont be evenly distributed around the board or the board wont have high enough output generally. <br />
<br />
'''Main warning sign are plated holes! Plating of holes requires copper plating.'''<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<br />
==About==<br />
<br />
PCB Heatbed MK1 is developed by Josef Průša<br />
<br />
* 200 mm x 200 mm active heated area<br />
* 209 mm center-to-center mounting holes (outside the active area).<br />
* 214 mm x 214 mm total PCB size<br />
<br />
I was working on this idea for nearly six months, inspired by [http://neufeld.newton.ks.us/electronics/?p=864 neufeld.newton.ks.us/electronics/?p=864 ].<br />

==Printing==<br />
<br />
<br />
Cover the bed with kapton tape. Degrease it and print.<br />
<br />
ABS temp: 110°C<br />
PLA temp: 50-60°C<br />
<br />
MAKE SURE YOUR PSU HAS 10 MORE AMPS SPARE!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
==Mounting==<br />
<br />
<br />
Known working solution, I (prusajr) use is Glass sheet (3mm) with glued on cork standoffs and on top of that is glued the heatbed.<br />
http://www.flickr.com/photos/prusajr/5410919911/<br />
http://www.flickr.com/photos/prusajr/5410919707/<br />
<br />
<br />
When mounted only using the four corners, the inherent warp of the pcb can be a problem, hence it is better to use the cork mounting system above (as the piece of cork in the centre helps to keep the pcb flat).<br />
Magnets can be used in replace of the cork, this makes the bed removable. However, I (mooneyj) have only tried this on a darwin type printer (where the build platform only moves in z). During fast printing, the darwin vibrates and it seems the heatbed magnets slide over each other slightly. The acceleration of the y axis on a mendel may cause the magnets to slide also. Perhaps a hybrid of magnet and bolt mounting would work well?.<br />
<br />
<br />
The current standard, however, is to simply place the glass on top of the heatbed, and affix it on the four sides with bulldog clips. The clips will not melt under pressure, and sufficiently hold the glass to the bed. This makes removal more easily for cleaning as well.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': According to the Eagle file posted on Thingiverse, the M3 holes are spaced 209 mm<br />
<br />
Mechanical drawings are here: [[http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:21271]]<br />
<br />
==Sides==<br />
<br />
PCB Bed has two sides, one with the traces (bottom side) and one with silkscreen (top).<br />
<br />
Printing on top side is safer, works great.<br />
<br />
Printing on bottom is more effective and heats up quicker. (Though the LED, resistor and wire connections are liable to collision with the print head. Also the tracks could be damaged if the print head collides. Make sure your z-bed-springs are not too strong to prevent damage during a collision).<br />
<br />
[[File:PCB_HEATBED.jpg]]<br />
<br />
==Connection==<br />
<br />
<br />
===Optional LEDs===<br />
<br />
The LEDs are optional, but if you choose to use the LEDs you MUST install the resistor.<br />
<br />
''''Parts''''<br />
<br />
2 x Surface Mount LEDs<br />
<br />
1 x 1K ohm Surface Mount Resistor<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Mount the LEDs in different directions (polarity) so that one of the LEDs will light up regardless of the board's polarity. You can use a single LED if you are certain of the polarity.<br />
<br />
[[File:PCB_HEATBED_DIAGRAM.jpg]]<br />
<br />
===Electronics===<br />
''RAMPS''<br />
<br />
See [[RAMPS1.4]], [[RAMPS1.3]], or [[RAMPS1.2]] depending on your version.<br />
<br />
''Sanguinolou''<br />
The MK2 PCB heatbed heats up to 110C when powered through the heated bed connection on Sanguinolou, your power supply should be 300W and ensure your wires from your power supply to the Sanguinololu should be capable of handling the total draw of 20A+. Using a 300W ATX power supply with the 4wire ATX dual 12V connector is working well for me.<br />
<br />
N.B. It is recommended that you use a heatsink on your heated bed mosfet, it will get hot!<br />
<br />
N.B. It is recommended that you measure the resistance of your board. I (evilB) didn't and blew up my Ramps 1.2 MOSFET because of a too high current. My measured resistance was 0.8 Ohm.<br />
<br />
==Testing==<br />
<br />
Its now in working state, Printed load of kits on it, working great.<br />
<br />
<br />
Main Idea is to use resistance of pcb traces as heating element.<br />
<br />
The following video shows a PCB heatbed MK2 being heated to 60 degrees as seen by an infrared camera:<br />
<videoflash>QE90bDUaAno</videoflash><br />
<br />
==Thermal insulation==<br />
<br />
It's a good idea to insulate the underside of the heatbed in order to get a faster heat up time and a overall better thermal performance.<br />
<br />
[[File:Thermal_Isolation.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
The [http://reprap.me/MK2ThermalInsulator MK2 / MK3 Thermal Insulator] is a great way to do exactly that.<br />
<br />
Mount the gasket firmly under the heatbed for the best thermal isolation.<br />
<br />
It fits the standard heatbed size of the 214mm x 214mm (200mm x 200mm) MK2 and MK3.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Material: Cork<br />
<br />
Thickness: 2mm<br />

=== MK2, MK2a ===<br />
<br />
It's not successor of MK1 even with it's name. It's concurrent design. - Josef Prusa<br />
<br />
MK2a Heatbed with minor changes by Tony Lock<br />
<br />
==== About the MK2a ====<br />
<br />
I liked Josef's original design but wanted to be able to use through hole components, have the thermistor poke through the middle and for it to look good on the 'back' with the silkscreen that Josef designed on that side as well.<br />
<br />
The MK2a has a few further changes:<br />
<br />
* A mounting hole in the middle of one edge to allow for easier bed leveling thanks to [http://hydraraptor.blogspot.com/2012/05/bed-levelling.html Nophead] for this suggestion.<br />
* Larger LED and Resistor pads to allow for 1206 size surface mount components.<br />
* Much larger area to solder the current carrying wire, easily connect ribbon cable (such as with the Mendel90 headbed connection). Also the through holes increased in size.<br />
* The redundant pads on the non-heating element side of the board removed to prevent confusion. These are not electrically connected if the board is not plated (plated boards are bad for the reasons outlined by Josef Prusa above).<br />

<br />
==== Printing ====<br />
'''MK2'''<br />
<br />
Although you can print directly to the bed covered in polyimide tape, no PCB is perfectly flat. It is recommended that you follow the directions in mounting, below, for better results.<br />
<br />
==== Mounting ====<br />
'''MK2'''<br />
<br />
The MK2 board can be mounted either side up and is designed to be mounted as Josef describes:<br />
<br />
http://josefprusa.cz/pcb-heatbed-final-mounting-and-wiring-solutio<br />
<br />
The holes in the 4 corners to attach the heated bed MK2 to the top print plate are not suitable for M3 bolts though! Use M2.5 instead.<br />
<br />
The glass protects the tracks from a head crash and is easily swapped out.<br />
<br />
The board dimensions are identical to the MK1 design.<br />
<br />
Insulation between the board and the thick plate should improve heat-up times and reduce energy consumption. An example is here:<br />
<br />
http://reprap.org/wiki/Mendel_heated_bed#Thermal_Insulation<br />
<br />
''Caution, I have not tried this with the temperatures that the PCB bed can reach!''<br />
<br />
'''MK2a'''<br />
<br />
The MK2a has a central mounting hole on the front side to allow for three point mounting. This is much easier for bed leveling in comparison to 4 point mounting. First level the side with two holes and fix in place, then level the side with one hole. A glass plate is highly recommended to provide a truly flat surface and rigidity.<br />
<br />
[[File:Mk2a_Central_Mount_Point.jpg |200 px]]<br />
<br />
====Sides====<br />
'''MK2'''<br />
<br />
The PCB still has a side with the traces on and a side without but now the silkscreen is on both the top and bottom, this makes it look good even when 'upside down' under a layer of glass. The LED, resistor and power wires can be mounted on either side of the board, with either surface mount or through hole components. If you are using through hole be careful when soldering not to interfere with the glass and introduce a gap between the glass and the PCB. If the MK2 board is made properly without copper plating then be sure to only solder the LED and resistor to the same side and the tracks. This problem is solved in the MK2a by removing the pads on the non connected side.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
MK2b Dual Power<br />
[[File:RRD-Mk2b-dual-power.jpg| 400px]]<br />
<br />
There is a central hole in the board (similar to this one http://wiki.makerbot.com/cchb1).<br />
It is sized so a small thermistor<br />
(for example the EPCOS one: http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?CMP=i-ddd7-00001003&sku=3878697 ) will fit though it allowing contact directly with the glass.<br />
''todo: test efficacy of using heat sink compound to better thermally couple the thermistor to the glass''<br />
<br />
[[File:PCB_Heatbed_MK2_therm_hole.jpg| 200px]]<br />
<br />
====Connection====<br />
Polarity doesn't affect the PCB, however the LEDs have a polarity.<br />
<br />
'''MK2'''<br />
<br />
There are pads and un-plated through holes for connecting the power wires. Ensure that the wire you use is thick enough for 10A, and solder it to the pads on the track side of the PCB. It is a good idea to think about strain relief so your moving build platform does not flex the joint, this can lead to failure of the joint over time. I recommend routing the wire from the heated bed to strain relief on the thick sheet before routing it to your controller/power supply. ''todo: get pictures of strain relief''<br />
<br />
'''MK2a'''<br />
<br />
The pads to solder onto have been greatly increased as shown in the picture below. The picture shows the wires prepared for soldering routed through the holes for extra security. This does not remove the need to use proper strain relief.<br />
<br />
[[File:Mk2a_Through_Hole.jpg|400 px]]<br />
<br />
'''MK2b Dual Power'''<br />
<br />
As you can see in the pictures below depending on the voltage you want to use you have to use different solder pads, but it's written on the PCB which pads have to be used for which voltage.<br />
<br />
[[File:RRD-Mk2b-dual-power-table.jpg|400px]] [[File:RRD-Mk2b-dual-power-connector.jpg|400px]]<br />
<br />
=====Optional LEDs=====<br />
'''MK2'''<br />
<br />
The LEDs are optional, but if you choose to use the LEDs you MUST install the resistor. Solder the components to the pads on the track side of the PCB. With the MK2, conventional wired parts can be substituted for the surface mount parts. If your MK2 board is made properly without copper plating then be sure to only solder the LED and resistor to the same side and the tracks. This problem is solved in the MK2a by removing the pads on the non connected side.<br />
<br />
<br />
''''Parts''''<br />
<br />
2 x surface mount (0805 size on the MK1 and MK2, 1206 size on the MK2a for easier soldering) or conventional through-hole LEDs. Install with opposite polarity so one or the other will light up regardless of the polarity of the power supply to the board.<br />
<br />
1 x 1K ohm surface mount or through-hole resistor<br />
<br />

== MK2 A4 ==<br />
<br />
This is [[Clone_Wars:_Othon | my build]]. I always wanted a big bed, in order to be able to plot (yes, actually plot, with artistic purpouses) at least DIN A4 in size. So I built my prusa mendel big enough to be able to host such a HBP PCB. I'm no good with any PCB editor, so I made my files in a CAD program, and exported the result file into a dxf file. The file has several layers the names of which should make the information self understandable. Anyway I'll tell: the layers with number names represent the routing of the traces the width of which is the layer's name in mm. The design was basically copied from MK2a. The engineering was made with an evolutive algorithm developed by [[Clone_Wars:_Othon | Damrod]] in [http://www.grasshopper3d.com/ grasshopper]. The manufacturing was a bit faulty, but it works flawlessly.<br />
<br />
* Dimensions 215mmx 315mm<br />

<br />
<br />
[[file:200X300.jpg|600 px]]<br />
[[file:200X300-TOP.jpg|600 px]]<br />
<br />
The 200X300 Heatbed MK3 has a 100mm bigger built area then the regular MK2 heatbed and the overall outline is 214X314mm.<br />
<br />
It has dual power mode optimized for 12 or 24V but you can also use everything in between (16V, 19V what have you)<br />
(Your printer controller will regulate the power to the heatbed in order to get your preset temperature.)<br />
<br />
The core is regular 1.6mm FR4 PCB and the print surface is the same as regular heatbeds but with a metric ruler grid. <br />
<br />
The connections to the heatbed is the same as the connections on the MK3 Alu. heatbed belov.<br />
<br />
The 200X300 Heatbed MK3 will be available in the [http://reprap.me/ RepRap.me] webshop soon. <br />
<br />
* Dimensions 214mm x 314mm<br />
* 1 layer 35μm (1oz base) copper<br />
* Resistance between 1 and 1.3 ohm for the 12V<br />
* Resistance between 4.5 and 5 ohm for the 24V<br />
* 110 degrees Celsius possible for both 12V and 24V<br />
* Running 24V on the 12V terminals will heatup the heatbed to 100 degree in only 2 minutes<br />

<br />
== MK3 ALU-Heatbed Dual Power ==<br />
<br />
The [http://reprap.me/Alu-Heatbed-MK3 Alu-Heatbed MK3] have features similar to MK2 and you can also operate this board with 12V or 24V.<br><br />
<br />
- Heatbed with 3.2mm Aluminum Core. Print directly on the heatbed, no need for glass plate. It's a much lighter solution than PCB heatbed + glass, which makes it better for faster prints.<br><br />
- Dual power supply. Operate at 12V or 24V. You can use thinner wires when operating at 24V.<br><br />
- A central mounting hole on the front side to allow for three point mounting. This is much easier for bed leveling in comparison to 4 point mounting. First level the side with two holes and fix in place, then level the side with one hole.<br><br />
- Large solder pads for multiple wires (ribbon cable) or a SMD pinhead connector can be mounted.<br><br />
- Pads for SMD thermistor 1206<br><br />
<br />
* Dimensions 214mm x 214mm<br />
* 1 layer 35μm (1oz base) copper<br />
* Resistance between 1.4 and 1.6 ohm for the 12V<br />
* Resistance between 5.0 and 5.4 ohm for the 24V<br />
* 110 degrees Celsius possible for both 12V and 24V<br />
* Running 24V on the 12V terminals will heatup the heatbed to 100 degree in only 2 minutes (Your printer controller will regulate the power to the heatbed in order to get your preset temperature.)<br />

There's an SVG-version (Inkscape) of the MK2a-layout.<br />
<br />
For the toner transfer method and people that only have a printer for letter/DIN A4 there's a version with two separated parts.<br />
Because the parts only have few electrical contacts between them, they easily can be ironed next to each other, fixing the needed bridges with etch resistant paint before etching.<br />

==WARNING==<br />
<span style="color:red;>"'''WARNING!!!'''<br />
Be aware from where you buying the PCB heatbeds!!<br />
There is one critical thing, the heatbed must be etched directly from 35um copper clad! ASK YOUR SELLER!!!<br />
If the board is plated, as it's normally done, no manufacturer can guarantee the final thickness of copper or even how even the copper is around the board.<br />
Which means that the final power wont be evenly distributed around the board or the board wont have high enough output generally. <br />
<br />
'''Main warning sign are plated holes! Plating of holes requires copper plating.'''<br />
<br />
</span><br />

==Printing==<br />
<br />
<br />
Cover the bed with kapton tape. Degrease it and print.<br />
<br />
ABS temp: 110°C<br />
PLA temp: 50-60°C<br />
<br />
MAKE SURE YOUR PSU HAS 10 MORE AMPS SPARE!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
==Mounting==<br />
<br />
<br />
Known working solution, I (prusajr) use is Glass sheet (3mm) with glued on cork standoffs and on top of that is glued the heatbed.<br />
http://www.flickr.com/photos/prusajr/5410919911/<br />
http://www.flickr.com/photos/prusajr/5410919707/<br />
<br />
<br />
When mounted only using the four corners, the inherent warp of the pcb can be a problem, hence it is better to use the cork mounting system above (as the piece of cork in the centre helps to keep the pcb flat).<br />
Magnets can be used in replace of the cork, this makes the bed removable. However, I (mooneyj) have only tried this on a darwin type printer (where the build platform only moves in z). During fast printing, the darwin vibrates and it seems the heatbed magnets slide over each other slightly. The acceleration of the y axis on a mendel may cause the magnets to slide also. Perhaps a hybrid of magnet and bolt mounting would work well?.<br />
<br />
<br />
The current standard, however, is to simply place the glass on top of the heatbed, and affix it on the four sides with bulldog clips. The clips will not melt under pressure, and sufficiently hold the glass to the bed. This makes removal more easily for cleaning as well.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': According to the Eagle file posted on Thingiverse, the M3 holes are spaced 209 mm<br />
<br />
Mechanical drawings are here: [[http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:21271]]<br />
<br />
==Sides==<br />
<br />
PCB Bed has two sides, one with the traces (bottom side) and one with silkscreen (top).<br />
<br />
Printing on top side is safer, works great.<br />
<br />
Printing on bottom is more effective and heats up quicker. (Though the LED, resistor and wire connections are liable to collision with the print head. Also the tracks could be damaged if the print head collides. Make sure your z-bed-springs are not too strong to prevent damage during a collision).<br />
<br />
[[File:PCB_HEATBED.jpg]]<br />
<br />
==Connection==<br />
<br />
<br />
===Optional LEDs===<br />
<br />
The LEDs are optional, but if you choose to use the LEDs you MUST install the resistor.<br />
<br />
''''Parts''''<br />
<br />
2 x Surface Mount LEDs<br />
<br />
1 x 1K ohm Surface Mount Resistor<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Mount the LEDs in different directions (polarity) so that one of the LEDs will light up regardless of the board's polarity. You can use a single LED if you are certain of the polarity.<br />
<br />

''RAMPS''<br />
<br />
See [[RAMPS1.4]], [[RAMPS1.3]], or [[RAMPS1.2]] depending on your version.<br />
<br />
''Sanguinolou''<br />
The MK2 PCB heatbed heats up to 110C when powered through the heated bed connection on Sanguinolou, your power supply should be 300W and ensure your wires from your power supply to the Sanguinololu should be capable of handling the total draw of 20A+. Using a 300W ATX power supply with the 4wire ATX dual 12V connector is working well for me.<br />
<br />
N.B. It is recommended that you use a heatsink on your heated bed mosfet, it will get hot!<br />
<br />
N.B. It is recommended that you measure the resistance of your board. I (evilB) didn't and blew up my Ramps 1.2 MOSFET because of a too high current. My measured resistance was 0.8 Ohm.<br />
<br />
==Testing==<br />
<br />
Its now in working state, Printed load of kits on it, working great.<br />
<br />
<br />
Main Idea is to use resistance of pcb traces as heating element.<br />
<br />
The following video shows a PCB heatbed MK2 being heated to 60 degrees as seen by an infrared camera:<br />
<videoflash>QE90bDUaAno</videoflash><br />
<br />
==Thermal insulation==<br />
<br />
It's a good idea to insulate the underside of the heatbed in order to get a faster heat up time and a overall better thermal performance.<br />
<br />
[[File:Thermal_Isolation.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
The [http://reprap.me/MK2ThermalInsulator MK2 / MK3 Thermal Insulator] is a great way to do exactly that.<br />
<br />
Mount the gasket firmly under the heatbed for the best thermal isolation.<br />
<br />
It fits the standard heatbed size of the 214mm x 214mm (200mm x 200mm) MK2 and MK3.<br />

It's not successor of MK1 even with it's name. It's concurrent design. - Josef Prusa<br />
<br />
MK2a Heatbed with minor changes by Tony Lock<br />
<br />
==== About the MK2a ====<br />
<br />
I liked Josef's original design but wanted to be able to use through hole components, have the thermistor poke through the middle and for it to look good on the 'back' with the silkscreen that Josef designed on that side as well.<br />
<br />
The MK2a has a few further changes:<br />
<br />
* A mounting hole in the middle of one edge to allow for easier bed leveling thanks to [http://hydraraptor.blogspot.com/2012/05/bed-levelling.html Nophead] for this suggestion.<br />
* Larger LED and Resistor pads to allow for 1206 size surface mount components.<br />
* Much larger area to solder the current carrying wire, easily connect ribbon cable (such as with the Mendel90 headbed connection). Also the through holes increased in size.<br />
* The redundant pads on the non-heating element side of the board removed to prevent confusion. These are not electrically connected if the board is not plated (plated boards are bad for the reasons outlined by Josef Prusa above).<br />

Although you can print directly to the bed covered in polyimide tape, no PCB is perfectly flat. It is recommended that you follow the directions in mounting, below, for better results.<br />
<br />
==== Mounting ====<br />
'''MK2'''<br />
<br />
The MK2 board can be mounted either side up and is designed to be mounted as Josef describes:<br />
<br />
http://josefprusa.cz/pcb-heatbed-final-mounting-and-wiring-solutio<br />
<br />
The holes in the 4 corners to attach the heated bed MK2 to the top print plate are not suitable for M3 bolts though! Use M2.5 instead.<br />
<br />
The glass protects the tracks from a head crash and is easily swapped out.<br />
<br />
The board dimensions are identical to the MK1 design.<br />
<br />
Insulation between the board and the thick plate should improve heat-up times and reduce energy consumption. An example is here:<br />
<br />
http://reprap.org/wiki/Mendel_heated_bed#Thermal_Insulation<br />
<br />
''Caution, I have not tried this with the temperatures that the PCB bed can reach!''<br />
<br />
'''MK2a'''<br />
<br />
The MK2a has a central mounting hole on the front side to allow for three point mounting. This is much easier for bed leveling in comparison to 4 point mounting. First level the side with two holes and fix in place, then level the side with one hole. A glass plate is highly recommended to provide a truly flat surface and rigidity.<br />
<br />
[[File:Mk2a_Central_Mount_Point.jpg |200 px]]<br />
<br />
====Sides====<br />
'''MK2'''<br />
<br />
The PCB still has a side with the traces on and a side without but now the silkscreen is on both the top and bottom, this makes it look good even when 'upside down' under a layer of glass. The LED, resistor and power wires can be mounted on either side of the board, with either surface mount or through hole components. If you are using through hole be careful when soldering not to interfere with the glass and introduce a gap between the glass and the PCB. If the MK2 board is made properly without copper plating then be sure to only solder the LED and resistor to the same side and the tracks. This problem is solved in the MK2a by removing the pads on the non connected side.<br />

<br />
<br />
MK2b Dual Power<br />
[[File:RRD-Mk2b-dual-power.jpg| 400px]]<br />
<br />
There is a central hole in the board (similar to this one http://wiki.makerbot.com/cchb1).<br />
It is sized so a small thermistor<br />
(for example the EPCOS one: http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?CMP=i-ddd7-00001003&sku=3878697 ) will fit though it allowing contact directly with the glass.<br />
''todo: test efficacy of using heat sink compound to better thermally couple the thermistor to the glass''<br />
<br />
[[File:PCB_Heatbed_MK2_therm_hole.jpg| 200px]]<br />
<br />
====Connection====<br />
Polarity doesn't affect the PCB, however the LEDs have a polarity.<br />
<br />
'''MK2'''<br />
<br />
There are pads and un-plated through holes for connecting the power wires. Ensure that the wire you use is thick enough for 10A, and solder it to the pads on the track side of the PCB. It is a good idea to think about strain relief so your moving build platform does not flex the joint, this can lead to failure of the joint over time. I recommend routing the wire from the heated bed to strain relief on the thick sheet before routing it to your controller/power supply. ''todo: get pictures of strain relief''<br />
<br />
'''MK2a'''<br />
<br />
The pads to solder onto have been greatly increased as shown in the picture below. The picture shows the wires prepared for soldering routed through the holes for extra security. This does not remove the need to use proper strain relief.<br />
<br />
[[File:Mk2a_Through_Hole.jpg|400 px]]<br />
<br />
'''MK2b Dual Power'''<br />
<br />
As you can see in the pictures below depending on the voltage you want to use you have to use different solder pads, but it's written on the PCB which pads have to be used for which voltage.<br />
<br />
[[File:RRD-Mk2b-dual-power-table.jpg|400px]] [[File:RRD-Mk2b-dual-power-connector.jpg|400px]]<br />
<br />
=====Optional LEDs=====<br />
'''MK2'''<br />
<br />
The LEDs are optional, but if you choose to use the LEDs you MUST install the resistor. Solder the components to the pads on the track side of the PCB. With the MK2, conventional wired parts can be substituted for the surface mount parts. If your MK2 board is made properly without copper plating then be sure to only solder the LED and resistor to the same side and the tracks. This problem is solved in the MK2a by removing the pads on the non connected side.<br />
<br />
<br />
''''Parts''''<br />
<br />
2 x surface mount (0805 size on the MK1 and MK2, 1206 size on the MK2a for easier soldering) or conventional through-hole LEDs. Install with opposite polarity so one or the other will light up regardless of the polarity of the power supply to the board.<br />
<br />
1 x 1K ohm surface mount or through-hole resistor<br />
<br />

== MK2 A4 ==<br />
<br />
This is [[Clone_Wars:_Othon | my build]]. I always wanted a big bed, in order to be able to plot (yes, actually plot, with artistic purpouses) at least DIN A4 in size. So I built my prusa mendel big enough to be able to host such a HBP PCB. I'm no good with any PCB editor, so I made my files in a CAD program, and exported the result file into a dxf file. The file has several layers the names of which should make the information self understandable. Anyway I'll tell: the layers with number names represent the routing of the traces the width of which is the layer's name in mm. The design was basically copied from MK2a. The engineering was made with an evolutive algorithm developed by [[Clone_Wars:_Othon | Damrod]] in [http://www.grasshopper3d.com/ grasshopper]. The manufacturing was a bit faulty, but it works flawlessly.<br />
<br />
* Dimensions 215mmx 315mm<br />
* 1 layer 35μm copper<br />
* resistance between 1.0 and 1.2 ohm<br />

[[file:200X300-TOP.jpg|600 px]]<br />
<br />
The 200X300 Heatbed MK3 has a 100mm bigger built area then the regular MK2 heatbed and the overall outline is 214X314mm.<br />
<br />
It has dual power mode optimized for 12 or 24V but you can also use everything in between (16V, 19V what have you)<br />
(Your printer controller will regulate the power to the heatbed in order to get your preset temperature.)<br />
<br />
The core is regular 1.6mm FR4 PCB and the print surface is the same as regular heatbeds but with a metric ruler grid. <br />
<br />
The connections to the heatbed is the same as the connections on the MK3 Alu. heatbed belov.<br />
<br />
The 200X300 Heatbed MK3 will be available in the [http://reprap.me/ RepRap.me] webshop soon. <br />
<br />

== MK3 ALU-Heatbed Dual Power ==<br />
<br />
The [http://reprap.me/Alu-Heatbed-MK3 Alu-Heatbed MK3] have features similar to MK2 and you can also operate this board with 12V or 24V.<br><br />
<br />
- Heatbed with 3.2mm Aluminum Core. Print directly on the heatbed, no need for glass plate. It's a much lighter solution than PCB heatbed + glass, which makes it better for faster prints.<br><br />
- Dual power supply. Operate at 12V or 24V. You can use thinner wires when operating at 24V.<br><br />
- A central mounting hole on the front side to allow for three point mounting. This is much easier for bed leveling in comparison to 4 point mounting. First level the side with two holes and fix in place, then level the side with one hole.<br><br />
- Large solder pads for multiple wires (ribbon cable) or a SMD pinhead connector can be mounted.<br><br />
- Pads for SMD thermistor 1206<br><br />
<br />
* Dimensions 214mm x 214mm<br />
* 1 layer 35μm (1oz base) copper<br />
* Resistance between 1.4 and 1.6 ohm for the 12V<br />
* Resistance between 5.0 and 5.4 ohm for the 24V<br />
* 110 degrees Celsius possible for both 12V and 24V<br />
* Running 24V on the 12V terminals will heatup the heatbed to 100 degree in only 2 minutes (Your printer controller will regulate the power to the heatbed in order to get your preset temperature.)<br />

There's an SVG-version (Inkscape) of the MK2a-layout.<br />
<br />
For the toner transfer method and people that only have a printer for letter/DIN A4 there's a version with two separated parts.<br />
Because the parts only have few electrical contacts between them, they easily can be ironed next to each other, fixing the needed bridges with etch resistant paint before etching.<br />

==WARNING==<br />
<span style="color:red;>"'''WARNING!!!'''<br />
Be aware from where you buying the PCB heatbeds!!<br />
There is one critical thing, the heatbed must be etched directly from 35um copper clad! ASK YOUR SELLER!!!<br />
If the board is plated, as it's normally done, no manufacturer can guarantee the final thickness of copper or even how even the copper is around the board.<br />
Which means that the final power wont be evenly distributed around the board or the board wont have high enough output generally. <br />
<br />
'''Main warning sign are plated holes! Plating of holes requires copper plating.'''<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<br />
==About==<br />

==Printing==<br />
<br />
<br />
Cover the bed with kapton tape. Degrease it and print.<br />
<br />
ABS temp: 110°C<br />
PLA temp: 50-60°C<br />
<br />
MAKE SURE YOUR PSU HAS 10 MORE AMPS SPARE!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
==Mounting==<br />
<br />
<br />
Known working solution, I (prusajr) use is Glass sheet (3mm) with glued on cork standoffs and on top of that is glued the heatbed.<br />
http://www.flickr.com/photos/prusajr/5410919911/<br />
http://www.flickr.com/photos/prusajr/5410919707/<br />
<br />
<br />
When mounted only using the four corners, the inherent warp of the pcb can be a problem, hence it is better to use the cork mounting system above (as the piece of cork in the centre helps to keep the pcb flat).<br />
Magnets can be used in replace of the cork, this makes the bed removable. However, I (mooneyj) have only tried this on a darwin type printer (where the build platform only moves in z). During fast printing, the darwin vibrates and it seems the heatbed magnets slide over each other slightly. The acceleration of the y axis on a mendel may cause the magnets to slide also. Perhaps a hybrid of magnet and bolt mounting would work well?.<br />
<br />
<br />
The current standard, however, is to simply place the glass on top of the heatbed, and affix it on the four sides with bulldog clips. The clips will not melt under pressure, and sufficiently hold the glass to the bed. This makes removal more easily for cleaning as well.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': According to the Eagle file posted on Thingiverse, the M3 holes are spaced 209 mm<br />
<br />
Mechanical drawings are here: [[http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:21271]]<br />
<br />
==Sides==<br />
<br />
PCB Bed has two sides, one with the traces (bottom side) and one with silkscreen (top).<br />
<br />
Printing on top side is safer, works great.<br />
<br />
Printing on bottom is more effective and heats up quicker. (Though the LED, resistor and wire connections are liable to collision with the print head. Also the tracks could be damaged if the print head collides. Make sure your z-bed-springs are not too strong to prevent damage during a collision).<br />
<br />
[[File:PCB_HEATBED.jpg]]<br />
<br />
==Connection==<br />
<br />
<br />
===Optional LEDs===<br />
<br />
The LEDs are optional, but if you choose to use the LEDs you MUST install the resistor.<br />
<br />
''''Parts''''<br />
<br />
2 x Surface Mount LEDs<br />
<br />
1 x 1K ohm Surface Mount Resistor<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Mount the LEDs in different directions (polarity) so that one of the LEDs will light up regardless of the board's polarity. You can use a single LED if you are certain of the polarity.<br />
<br />

<br />
See [[RAMPS1.4]], [[RAMPS1.3]], or [[RAMPS1.2]] depending on your version.<br />
<br />
''Sanguinolou''<br />
The MK2 PCB heatbed heats up to 110C when powered through the heated bed connection on Sanguinolou, your power supply should be 300W and ensure your wires from your power supply to the Sanguinololu should be capable of handling the total draw of 20A+. Using a 300W ATX power supply with the 4wire ATX dual 12V connector is working well for me.<br />
<br />
N.B. It is recommended that you use a heatsink on your heated bed mosfet, it will get hot!<br />
<br />
N.B. It is recommended that you measure the resistance of your board. I (evilB) didn't and blew up my Ramps 1.2 MOSFET because of a too high current. My measured resistance was 0.8 Ohm.<br />
<br />
==Testing==<br />
<br />
Its now in working state, Printed load of kits on it, working great.<br />
<br />
<br />
Main Idea is to use resistance of pcb traces as heating element.<br />
<br />
The following video shows a PCB heatbed MK2 being heated to 60 degrees as seen by an infrared camera:<br />
<videoflash>QE90bDUaAno</videoflash><br />
<br />
==Thermal insulation==<br />
<br />
It's a good idea to insulate the underside of the heatbed in order to get a faster heat up time and a overall better thermal performance.<br />
<br />
[[File:Thermal_Isolation.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
The [http://reprap.me/MK2ThermalInsulator MK2 / MK3 Thermal Insulator] is a great way to do exactly that.<br />
<br />
Mount the gasket firmly under the heatbed for the best thermal isolation.<br />
<br />
It fits the standard heatbed size of the 214mm x 214mm (200mm x 200mm) MK2 and MK3.<br />

MK2a Heatbed with minor changes by Tony Lock<br />
<br />
==== About the MK2a ====<br />
<br />
I liked Josef's original design but wanted to be able to use through hole components, have the thermistor poke through the middle and for it to look good on the 'back' with the silkscreen that Josef designed on that side as well.<br />
<br />
The MK2a has a few further changes:<br />
<br />
* A mounting hole in the middle of one edge to allow for easier bed leveling thanks to [http://hydraraptor.blogspot.com/2012/05/bed-levelling.html Nophead] for this suggestion.<br />
* Larger LED and Resistor pads to allow for 1206 size surface mount components.<br />
* Much larger area to solder the current carrying wire, easily connect ribbon cable (such as with the Mendel90 headbed connection). Also the through holes increased in size.<br />
* The redundant pads on the non-heating element side of the board removed to prevent confusion. These are not electrically connected if the board is not plated (plated boards are bad for the reasons outlined by Josef Prusa above).<br />

'''MK2'''<br />
<br />
The PCB still has a side with the traces on and a side without but now the silkscreen is on both the top and bottom, this makes it look good even when 'upside down' under a layer of glass. The LED, resistor and power wires can be mounted on either side of the board, with either surface mount or through hole components. If you are using through hole be careful when soldering not to interfere with the glass and introduce a gap between the glass and the PCB. If the MK2 board is made properly without copper plating then be sure to only solder the LED and resistor to the same side and the tracks. This problem is solved in the MK2a by removing the pads on the non connected side.<br />

MK2b Dual Power<br />
[[File:RRD-Mk2b-dual-power.jpg| 400px]]<br />
<br />
There is a central hole in the board (similar to this one http://wiki.makerbot.com/cchb1).<br />
It is sized so a small thermistor<br />
(for example the EPCOS one: http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?CMP=i-ddd7-00001003&sku=3878697 ) will fit though it allowing contact directly with the glass.<br />
''todo: test efficacy of using heat sink compound to better thermally couple the thermistor to the glass''<br />
<br />
[[File:PCB_Heatbed_MK2_therm_hole.jpg| 200px]]<br />
<br />
====Connection====<br />
Polarity doesn't affect the PCB, however the LEDs have a polarity.<br />
<br />
'''MK2'''<br />
<br />
There are pads and un-plated through holes for connecting the power wires. Ensure that the wire you use is thick enough for 10A, and solder it to the pads on the track side of the PCB. It is a good idea to think about strain relief so your moving build platform does not flex the joint, this can lead to failure of the joint over time. I recommend routing the wire from the heated bed to strain relief on the thick sheet before routing it to your controller/power supply. ''todo: get pictures of strain relief''<br />
<br />
'''MK2a'''<br />
<br />
The pads to solder onto have been greatly increased as shown in the picture below. The picture shows the wires prepared for soldering routed through the holes for extra security. This does not remove the need to use proper strain relief.<br />
<br />
[[File:Mk2a_Through_Hole.jpg|400 px]]<br />
<br />
'''MK2b Dual Power'''<br />
<br />
As you can see in the pictures below depending on the voltage you want to use you have to use different solder pads, but it's written on the PCB which pads have to be used for which voltage.<br />
<br />
[[File:RRD-Mk2b-dual-power-table.jpg|400px]] [[File:RRD-Mk2b-dual-power-connector.jpg|400px]]<br />
<br />
=====Optional LEDs=====<br />
'''MK2'''<br />
<br />
The LEDs are optional, but if you choose to use the LEDs you MUST install the resistor. Solder the components to the pads on the track side of the PCB. With the MK2, conventional wired parts can be substituted for the surface mount parts. If your MK2 board is made properly without copper plating then be sure to only solder the LED and resistor to the same side and the tracks. This problem is solved in the MK2a by removing the pads on the non connected side.<br />
<br />
<br />
''''Parts''''<br />
<br />
2 x surface mount (0805 size on the MK1 and MK2, 1206 size on the MK2a for easier soldering) or conventional through-hole LEDs. Install with opposite polarity so one or the other will light up regardless of the polarity of the power supply to the board.<br />
<br />
1 x 1K ohm surface mount or through-hole resistor<br />
<br />

== MK2 A4 ==<br />
<br />
This is [[Clone_Wars:_Othon | my build]]. I always wanted a big bed, in order to be able to plot (yes, actually plot, with artistic purpouses) at least DIN A4 in size. So I built my prusa mendel big enough to be able to host such a HBP PCB. I'm no good with any PCB editor, so I made my files in a CAD program, and exported the result file into a dxf file. The file has several layers the names of which should make the information self understandable. Anyway I'll tell: the layers with number names represent the routing of the traces the width of which is the layer's name in mm. The design was basically copied from MK2a. The engineering was made with an evolutive algorithm developed by [[Clone_Wars:_Othon | Damrod]] in [http://www.grasshopper3d.com/ grasshopper]. The manufacturing was a bit faulty, but it works flawlessly.<br />
<br />
* Dimensions 215mmx 315mm<br />

[[file:200X300-TOP.jpg|600 px]]<br />
<br />
The 200X300 Heatbed MK3 has a 100mm bigger built area then the regular MK2 heatbed and the overall outline is 214X314mm.<br />
<br />
It has dual power mode optimized for 12 or 24V but you can also use everything in between (16V, 19V what have you)<br />
(Your printer controller will regulate the power to the heatbed in order to get your preset temperature.)<br />
<br />
The core is regular 1.6mm FR4 PCB and the print surface is the same as regular heatbeds but with a metric ruler grid. <br />
<br />
The connections to the heatbed is the same as the connections on the MK3 Alu. heatbed belov.<br />
<br />
The 200X300 Heatbed MK3 will be available in the [http://reprap.me/ RepRap.me] webshop soon. <br />
<br />
* Dimensions 214mm x 314mm<br />
* 1 layer 35μm (1oz base) copper<br />
* Resistance between 1 and 1.3 ohm for the 12V<br />
* Resistance between 4.5 and 5 ohm for the 24V<br />
* 110 degrees Celsius possible for both 12V and 24V<br />
* Running 24V on the 12V terminals will heatup the heatbed to 100 degree in only 2 minutes<br />

== MK3 ALU-Heatbed Dual Power ==<br />
<br />
The [http://reprap.me/Alu-Heatbed-MK3 Alu-Heatbed MK3] have features similar to MK2 and you can also operate this board with 12V or 24V.<br><br />
<br />
- Heatbed with 3.2mm Aluminum Core. Print directly on the heatbed, no need for glass plate. It's a much lighter solution than PCB heatbed + glass, which makes it better for faster prints.<br><br />
- Dual power supply. Operate at 12V or 24V. You can use thinner wires when operating at 24V.<br><br />
- A central mounting hole on the front side to allow for three point mounting. This is much easier for bed leveling in comparison to 4 point mounting. First level the side with two holes and fix in place, then level the side with one hole.<br><br />
- Large solder pads for multiple wires (ribbon cable) or a SMD pinhead connector can be mounted.<br><br />
- Pads for SMD thermistor 1206<br><br />
<br />
* Dimensions 214mm x 214mm<br />
* 1 layer 35μm (1oz base) copper<br />
* Resistance between 1.4 and 1.6 ohm for the 12V<br />
* Resistance between 5.0 and 5.4 ohm for the 24V<br />
* 110 degrees Celsius possible for both 12V and 24V<br />
* Running 24V on the 12V terminals will heatup the heatbed to 100 degree in only 2 minutes (Your printer controller will regulate the power to the heatbed in order to get your preset temperature.)<br />

There's an SVG-version (Inkscape) of the MK2a-layout.<br />
<br />
For the toner transfer method and people that only have a printer for letter/DIN A4 there's a version with two separated parts.<br />
Because the parts only have few electrical contacts between them, they easily can be ironed next to each other, fixing the needed bridges with etch resistant paint before etching.<br />

<br />
This is a list of common terms and abbreviations used in the RepRap community.<br />
__NOTOC__<br />
<br />
===[[ABS]]=== <br />
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, a [[thermoplastic]] used as a 3D printer material.<br />
<br />
Often ABS is used as a short form, actually referring to filament made of ABS: ''Do you use ABS in your Mendel?''<br />
<br />
Yes,I do<br />
<br />
===Bed===<br />
The build plate of the 3D printer on which parts are actually made.<br />
<br />
===[[Belt]]===<br />
Toothed gear belt. Usually fiber-reinforced to prevent stretching. Used to transfer movement from the motors to other parts of a machine.<br />
<br />
===[[BOM]]===<br />
Bill of materials. A list of parts. There are BOMs for the whole Mendel and for individual components.<br />
<br />
===[[Mendel_X-axis|Carriage]]===<br />
The moving middle assembly on the x-axis of [[Mendel]] which holds the extruder. Often referred to as: ''x-carriage''.<br />
<br />
===Catalyst===<br />
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed itself in the reaction. A substance that alters (usually increases) the rate at which a reaction occurs.<br />
<br />
===Copolymers===<br />
Copolymers are additives that are included in the polymer blends with the intention to add certain properties to the main polymer.<br />
<br />
All polymers have principal properties that are desired, but bring others that are not. A good example is Styrene, which is clear, has great accuracy when molded into a shape but is very brittle and ages bad under sunlight. In certain commercial varnishes Butadyene can be added to give it some flexibility and UV protectors to make it more durable. The difference between copolymers and fillers is that the first ones participate in the chemical chain reaction and are bonded to the main monomer.<br />
<br />
===Curing===<br />
See: [[#Hardening|Hardening]].<br />
<br />
===EVA===<br />
Ethylene Vinyl Acetate. Several early RepRap research experiments used off-the-shelf EVA glue sticks in hot-glue guns. Those glue sticks are mostly EVA which melts around 85&deg;C.<br />
<br />
===Extrude===<br />
The act of placing the build material on the build platform, normally by heating [[thermoplastic]] to a liquid state and pushing it through a small nozzle.<br />
<br />
===Filler===<br />
Fillers are solid materials that are added to polymers (or cements) and that do not interact chemically with it. They remain inert but do add special desired mechanical features to the compound. These can range from density alteration (make the compound heavier or lighter) additional strength (fibers...), resistance to abrasion and improved thermal properties (sands...) or simply thinning the compound so as to make it cheaper in average.<br />
<br />
===[[Geared_Nema17_Extruder_Driver|Extruder]]===<br />
A group of parts which handles feeding and extruding of the build material. Consists of two assemblies: a cold end to pull and feed the thermoplastic from the spool, and a hot end that melts and extrudes the thermoplastic.<br />
<br />
===[[FDM]]=== <br />
Fused Deposition Modeling; same as [[#FFF|FFF]].<br />
<br />
===[[FFF]]=== <br />
Fused Filament Fabrication. Where a droplet of one material (plastic, wax, metal, etc.) is deposited on top of or alongside the same material making a joint (by heat or adhesion).<br />
<br />
===[[Filament]]===<br />
Two uses:<br />
* Plastic material made into (often 3 mm) string to be used as raw material in 3D printers.<br />
* Extruded plastic (often < 1 mm).<br />
<br />
===Frog===<br />
Also known as the ''squashed frog'', this is a part that the printing plate connects to. The frog connects directly to the linear bearings on the Y axis. The name comes from the original [[Sells Mendel]] part that looked like a "squashed frog".<br />
<br />
===[[G-code]]===<br />
The information sent over the wire from a PC to most computer numerical control (CNC) machines -- including most RepRaps -- is in G-code.<br />
While in principle a human could directly type G-code commands to a RepRap, most people prefer to use one of the many [[CAM Toolchains]] that reads a [[#STL|STL]] file and sends lines of G-code over the wire to the machine.<br />
<br />
Some researchers are developing [[Firmware/Alternative|alternatives to G-code]].<br />
<br />
=== Hardening ===<br />
The process by which the model hardens to its final form.<br />
<br />
===[[Heated Bed]]===<br />
A build surface that is warmed in order to keep the base of an extruded part from cooling (and shrinking) too quickly. Such shrinking leads to warping internal stresses in RP parts. The most common result is corners of parts lifting off the build surface. Heated beds usually yield higher quality finished builds.<br />
<br />
===[[Hot End]]===<br />
The parts of the extruder that get hot enough to melt plastic, or potentially other materials. Hot end parts use materials that can stand up to ~240 °C heat (for current thermoplastic extrusion). The hot end usually refers to the tip of the extruder as it should be hottest there.<br />
<br />
===[[Kapton Tape]]===<br />
Heat-resistant polyimide adhesive tape. Used to secure the heating element to the extruder barrel. It can also be used on the surface of a heated bed. <br />
<br />
===Monomer===<br />
A molecule that, under the correct conditions, can link together with others to form larger molecules called polymers. A monomer must be capable of forming two or more bonds to other monomers.<br />
<br />
===[[NEMA Motor|NEMA]]===<br />
Usually meant to refer to a specific size of stepper motor.<br />
* [[NEMA 14 Stepper motor|NEMA 14]] - A smaller [[Stepper motor|stepper motor]] used in [[Huxley]] and others.<br />
* [[NEMA 17 Stepper motor|NEMA 17]] - A larger, more powerful [[Stepper motor|stepper motor]] used in [[Mendel]] and many others.<br />
* [[NEMA 23 Stepper motor|NEMA 23]] - An even larger, very powerful [[Stepper motor|stepper motor]].<br />
<br />
===[[Nichrome]]===<br />
An alloy of nickel and chromium. Nichrome wire is used as a heating element in many extruder barrels and some heated bed designs. Simpler and less messy enamel resistors are often used for the same purpose.<br />
<br />
===Oligomer===<br />
Oligomers are big molecules composed of monomer bricks, joined together in more or less branched fashion, so as to provide polymerization seeds for the final polymer. A free analogy would be that monomers are to oligomers what a water molecule is to a snowflake. In commercial resins, oligomers are mixed with their monomer components so as to achieve a polymer of desired properties, due to their ability to spatially organize the polymerization process.<br />
<br />
===[[Parametric]]===<br />
(Adjective) Adjustable in all dimensions. A parametric model is one that can be resized and or distorted to suit the user's needs. In CAD software, If a widget has a 1 cm hole in it, you can select that hole and make it a 5 mm hole with a few clicks, as opposed to a triangular mesh (see [[#STL]]), which is more difficult to adjust.<br />
<br />
The native format of several [[Useful Software Packages|useful software packages]] can store parametric models.<br />
<br />
===[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PEEK PEEK]===<br />
Polyether Ether Ketone. A high temperature thermoplastic used as a thermal barrier in the extruder.<br />
<br />
===[[PLA]]=== <br />
Polylactic Acid. A biodegradable [[thermoplastic]] polymer used as a 3D printer material.<br />
<br />
Often PLA is used as a short form, actually referring to filament made of PLA: ''I use PLA in my [[Mendel]].''<br />
<br />
<br />
===PVA===<br />
Polyvinyl Alcohol, A watersoluble filament used as 3D printing material.<br />
Often PVA is used as support material.<br />
<br />
===[[PTFE]]===<br />
Polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon). A slippery thermoplastic often used as a barrel in the extruder to minimize friction with the filament.<br />
<br />
===Raft===<br />
A technique used to prevent warping. Parts are built on top of a 'raft' of disposable material instead of directly on the build surface. The raft is larger than the part and so has more adhesion. Rarely used with heated build surfaces. <br />
<br />
===[[Arduino_Mega_Pololu_Shield|RAMPS]]===<br />
RepRap Arduino Mega Pololu Shield - one of the more popular flavors of the [["Official" Electronics|"Official"]] electronics.<br />
<br />
===[[RepRap]]===<br />
A RepRap machine is a rapid prototyping machine that can manufacture a significant fraction of its own parts. The RepRap project is a quest to make a desktop-sized RepRap machine.<br />
<br />
;To reprap: v. To make something in a RepRap machine.<br />
;Reprappable: adj. Capable of being made in a RepRap machine.<br />
<br />
See also: [[RepRapWiki:About]]<br />
<br />
===[[RepStrap]]===<br />
A 3D printing machine which can be used to make a RepRap, but is not a RepRap itself, as it wasn't made by something like itself. These are becoming less common as Mendel printed plastic parts become more available, but are still very popular. They're often sold in kit form or custom-made from scrounged parts.<br />
<br />
See also: [[What Tooling Do You Have]]<br />
<br />
===RP===<br />
Rapid prototyping. Creating an object in a matter of hours on a "3D printer" as opposed to sending out a job to a modeling shop that can take days or weeks.<br />
<br />
===Setting===<br />
See: [[#Hardening|Hardening]].<br />
<br />
===[[Stepper motor]]===<br />
Motors which operate only in discrete increments of rotation. This is the type of motor most commonly used in [[Mendel]], the earlier [[Darwin]], and [[:Category:RepStrap|Repstraps]].<br />
<br />
===[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.STL STL]=== <br />
Short for Stereo Lithographic, which is a [[Recommended File Formats|recommended file format]] used to describe 3D objects. A design program (e.g. [[AoI]]) can produce an STL file which can then be fed toa 3D printer or 3D rendering graphics package.<br />
<br />
Possible alternatives to STL are discussed at [[a community specification for an improvement to STL files]].<br />
<br />
===Squashed frog===<br />
See: [[#Frog|Frog]].<br />
<br />
===[[Mendel_materials_procurement#Thick_Sheet|Thick Sheet]]===<br />
A firm flat sheet of material 4-6 mm thick used as a printing surface. A variety of materials have been used, but the most important property is that it must be flat.<br />
<br />
=== Viscosity ===<br />
Viscosity is a property of fluids determining it's resistance to flow. The higher the viscosity, the more difficult a material will be to extrude or dispense (more energy/pressure will be needed). Also, the higher the viscosity, the less the deposited thread of material will sag or change shape until hardening.<br />
<br />
For a detailed definition see [[Wikipedia:Viscosity|Viscosity]] on Wikipedia.<br />
<br />
===[[Vitamin]]===<br />
A non-replicated part.<br />
<br />
In RepRap jargon, a "vitamin" is anything that you need to build a RepRap which cannot be printed on a RepRap. For example, bolts.<br />
<br />
===[[Geared_Nema17_Extruder|Wade's Extruder]]===<br />

An alloy of nickel and chromium. Nichrome wire is used as a heating element in many extruder barrels and some heated bed designs. Simpler and less messy enamel resistors are often used for the same purpose.<br />
<br />
===Oligomer===<br />
Oligomers are big molecules composed of monomer bricks, joined together in more or less branched fashion, so as to provide polymerization seeds for the final polymer. A free analogy would be that monomers are to oligomers what a water molecule is to a snowflake. In commercial resins, oligomers are mixed with their monomer components so as to achieve a polymer of desired properties, due to their ability to spatially organize the polymerization process.<br />
<br />
===[[Parametric]]===<br />
(Adjective) Adjustable in all dimensions. A parametric model is one that can be resized and or distorted to suit the user's needs. In CAD software, If a widget has a 1 cm hole in it, you can select that hole and make it a 5 mm hole with a few clicks, as opposed to a triangular mesh (see [[#STL]]), which is more difficult to adjust.<br />
<br />
The native format of several [[Useful Software Packages|useful software packages]] can store parametric models.<br />
<br />
===[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PEEK PEEK]===<br />
Polyether Ether Ketone. A high temperature thermoplastic used as a thermal barrier in the extruder.<br />
<br />
===[[PLA]]=== <br />
Polylactic Acid. A biodegradable [[thermoplastic]] polymer used as a 3D printer material.<br />
<br />
Often PLA is used as a short form, actually referring to filament made of PLA: ''I use PLA in my [[Mendel]].''<br />
<br />
===[[PTFE]]===<br />
Polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon). A slippery thermoplastic often used as a barrel in the extruder to minimize friction with the filament.<br />
<br />
===Raft===<br />
A technique used to prevent warping. Parts are built on top of a 'raft' of disposable material instead of directly on the build surface. The raft is larger than the part and so has more adhesion. Rarely used with heated build surfaces. <br />
<br />
===[[Arduino_Mega_Pololu_Shield|RAMPS]]===<br />
RepRap Arduino Mega Pololu Shield - one of the more popular flavors of the [["Official" Electronics|"Official"]] electronics.<br />
<br />
===[[RepRap]]===<br />
A RepRap machine is a rapid prototyping machine that can manufacture a significant fraction of its own parts. The RepRap project is a quest to make a desktop-sized RepRap machine.<br />
<br />
;To reprap: v. To make something in a RepRap machine.<br />
;Reprappable: adj. Capable of being made in a RepRap machine.<br />
<br />
See also: [[RepRapWiki:About]]<br />
<br />
===[[RepStrap]]===<br />
A 3D printing machine which can be used to make a RepRap, but is not a RepRap itself, as it wasn't made by something like itself. These are becoming less common as Mendel printed plastic parts become more available, but are still very popular. They're often sold in kit form or custom-made from scrounged parts.<br />
<br />

<br />
===RP===<br />
Rapid prototyping. Creating an object in a matter of hours on a "3D printer" as opposed to sending out a job to a modeling shop that can take days or weeks.<br />
<br />
===Setting===<br />
See: [[#Hardening|Hardening]].<br />
<br />
===[[Stepper motor]]===<br />
Motors which operate only in discrete increments of rotation. This is the type of motor most commonly used in [[Mendel]], the earlier [[Darwin]], and [[:Category:RepStrap|Repstraps]].<br />
<br />
===[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.STL STL]=== <br />
Short for Stereo Lithographic, which is a [[Recommended File Formats|recommended file format]] used to describe 3D objects. A design program (e.g. [[AoI]]) can produce an STL file which can then be fed toa 3D printer or 3D rendering graphics package.<br />
<br />
Possible alternatives to STL are discussed at [[a community specification for an improvement to STL files]].<br />
<br />
===Squashed frog===<br />
See: [[#Frog|Frog]].<br />
<br />
===[[Mendel_materials_procurement#Thick_Sheet|Thick Sheet]]===<br />
A firm flat sheet of material 4-6 mm thick used as a printing surface. A variety of materials have been used, but the most important property is that it must be flat.<br />
<br />
=== Viscosity ===<br />
Viscosity is a property of fluids determining it's resistance to flow. The higher the viscosity, the more difficult a material will be to extrude or dispense (more energy/pressure will be needed). Also, the higher the viscosity, the less the deposited thread of material will sag or change shape until hardening.<br />
<br />
For a detailed definition see [[Wikipedia:Viscosity|Viscosity]] on Wikipedia.<br />
<br />
===[[Vitamin]]===<br />
A non-replicated part.<br />
<br />
In RepRap jargon, a "vitamin" is anything that you need to build a RepRap which cannot be printed on a RepRap. For example, bolts.<br />
<br />
===[[Geared_Nema17_Extruder|Wade's Extruder]]===<br />

==WARNING==<br />
<span style="color:red;>"'''WARNING!!!'''<br />
Be aware from where you buying the PCB heatbeds!!<br />
There is one critical thing, the heatbed must be etched directly from 35um copper clad! ASK YOUR SELLER!!!<br />
If the board is plated, as it's normally done, no manufacturer can guarantee the final thickness of copper or even how even the copper is around the board.<br />
Which means that the final power wont be evenly distributed around the board or the board wont have high enough output generally. <br />
<br />
'''Main warning sign are plated holes! Plating of holes requires copper plating.'''<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<br />
==About==<br />
<br />
PCB Heatbed MK1 is developed by Josef Průša<br />
<br />
* 200 mm x 200 mm active heated area<br />
* 209 mm center-to-center mounting holes (outside the active area).<br />
* 214 mm x 214 mm total PCB size<br />
<br />
I was working on this idea for nearly six months, inspired by [http://neufeld.newton.ks.us/electronics/?p=864 neufeld.newton.ks.us/electronics/?p=864 ].<br />

==Printing==<br />
<br />
<br />
Cover the bed with kapton tape. Degrease it and print.<br />
<br />
ABS temp: 110°C<br />
PLA temp: 50-60°C<br />
<br />
MAKE SURE YOUR PSU HAS 10 MORE AMPS SPARE!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
==Mounting==<br />
<br />
<br />
Known working solution, I (prusajr) use is Glass sheet (3mm) with glued on cork standoffs and on top of that is glued the heatbed.<br />
http://www.flickr.com/photos/prusajr/5410919911/<br />
http://www.flickr.com/photos/prusajr/5410919707/<br />
<br />
<br />
When mounted only using the four corners, the inherent warp of the pcb can be a problem, hence it is better to use the cork mounting system above (as the piece of cork in the centre helps to keep the pcb flat).<br />
Magnets can be used in replace of the cork, this makes the bed removable. However, I (mooneyj) have only tried this on a darwin type printer (where the build platform only moves in z). During fast printing, the darwin vibrates and it seems the heatbed magnets slide over each other slightly. The acceleration of the y axis on a mendel may cause the magnets to slide also. Perhaps a hybrid of magnet and bolt mounting would work well?.<br />
<br />
<br />
The current standard, however, is to simply place the glass on top of the heatbed, and affix it on the four sides with bulldog clips. The clips will not melt under pressure, and sufficiently hold the glass to the bed. This makes removal more easily for cleaning as well.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': According to the Eagle file posted on Thingiverse, the M3 holes are spaced 209 mm<br />
<br />
Mechanical drawings are here: [[http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:21271]]<br />
<br />
==Sides==<br />
<br />
PCB Bed has two sides, one with the traces (bottom side) and one with silkscreen (top).<br />
<br />
Printing on top side is safer, works great.<br />
<br />
Printing on bottom is more effective and heats up quicker. (Though the LED, resistor and wire connections are liable to collision with the print head. Also the tracks could be damaged if the print head collides. Make sure your z-bed-springs are not too strong to prevent damage during a collision).<br />
<br />
[[File:PCB_HEATBED.jpg]]<br />
<br />
==Connection==<br />
<br />
<br />
===Optional LEDs===<br />
<br />
The LEDs are optional, but if you choose to use the LEDs you MUST install the resistor.<br />
<br />
''''Parts''''<br />
<br />
2 x Surface Mount LEDs<br />
<br />
1 x 1K ohm Surface Mount Resistor<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Mount the LEDs in different directions (polarity) so that one of the LEDs will light up regardless of the board's polarity. You can use a single LED if you are certain of the polarity.<br />
<br />

===Electronics===<br />
''RAMPS''<br />
<br />
See [[RAMPS1.4]], [[RAMPS1.3]], or [[RAMPS1.2]] depending on your version.<br />
<br />
''Sanguinolou''<br />
The MK2 PCB heatbed heats up to 110C when powered through the heated bed connection on Sanguinolou, your power supply should be 300W and ensure your wires from your power supply to the Sanguinololu should be capable of handling the total draw of 20A+. Using a 300W ATX power supply with the 4wire ATX dual 12V connector is working well for me.<br />
<br />
N.B. It is recommended that you use a heatsink on your heated bed mosfet, it will get hot!<br />
<br />
N.B. It is recommended that you measure the resistance of your board. I (evilB) didn't and blew up my Ramps 1.2 MOSFET because of a too high current. My measured resistance was 0.8 Ohm.<br />
<br />
==Testing==<br />
<br />
Its now in working state, Printed load of kits on it, working great.<br />
<br />
<br />
Main Idea is to use resistance of pcb traces as heating element.<br />
<br />
The following video shows a PCB heatbed MK2 being heated to 60 degrees as seen by an infrared camera:<br />
<videoflash>QE90bDUaAno</videoflash><br />
<br />
==Thermal insulation==<br />
<br />
It's a good idea to insulate the underside of the heatbed in order to get a faster heat up time and a overall better thermal performance.<br />
<br />
[[File:Thermal_Isolation.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
The [http://reprap.me/MK2ThermalInsulator MK2 / MK3 Thermal Insulator] is a great way to do exactly that.<br />
<br />
Mount the gasket firmly under the heatbed for the best thermal isolation.<br />
<br />
It fits the standard heatbed size of the 214mm x 214mm (200mm x 200mm) MK2 and MK3.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Material: Cork<br />

=== MK2, MK2a ===<br />
<br />
It's not successor of MK1 even with it's name. It's concurrent design. - Josef Prusa<br />
<br />
MK2a Heatbed with minor changes by Tony Lock<br />
<br />
==== About the MK2a ====<br />
<br />
I liked Josef's original design but wanted to be able to use through hole components, have the thermistor poke through the middle and for it to look good on the 'back' with the silkscreen that Josef designed on that side as well.<br />
<br />
The MK2a has a few further changes:<br />
<br />
* A mounting hole in the middle of one edge to allow for easier bed leveling thanks to [http://hydraraptor.blogspot.com/2012/05/bed-levelling.html Nophead] for this suggestion.<br />
* Larger LED and Resistor pads to allow for 1206 size surface mount components.<br />
* Much larger area to solder the current carrying wire, easily connect ribbon cable (such as with the Mendel90 headbed connection). Also the through holes increased in size.<br />
* The redundant pads on the non-heating element side of the board removed to prevent confusion. These are not electrically connected if the board is not plated (plated boards are bad for the reasons outlined by Josef Prusa above).<br />

<br />
==== Printing ====<br />
'''MK2'''<br />
<br />
Although you can print directly to the bed covered in polyimide tape, no PCB is perfectly flat. It is recommended that you follow the directions in mounting, below, for better results.<br />
<br />
==== Mounting ====<br />
'''MK2'''<br />
<br />
The MK2 board can be mounted either side up and is designed to be mounted as Josef describes:<br />
<br />
http://josefprusa.cz/pcb-heatbed-final-mounting-and-wiring-solutio<br />
<br />
The holes in the 4 corners to attach the heated bed MK2 to the top print plate are not suitable for M3 bolts though! Use M2.5 instead.<br />
<br />
The glass protects the tracks from a head crash and is easily swapped out.<br />
<br />
The board dimensions are identical to the MK1 design.<br />
<br />
Insulation between the board and the thick plate should improve heat-up times and reduce energy consumption. An example is here:<br />
<br />
http://reprap.org/wiki/Mendel_heated_bed#Thermal_Insulation<br />
<br />
''Caution, I have not tried this with the temperatures that the PCB bed can reach!''<br />
<br />
'''MK2a'''<br />
<br />
The MK2a has a central mounting hole on the front side to allow for three point mounting. This is much easier for bed leveling in comparison to 4 point mounting. First level the side with two holes and fix in place, then level the side with one hole. A glass plate is highly recommended to provide a truly flat surface and rigidity.<br />
<br />
[[File:Mk2a_Central_Mount_Point.jpg |200 px]]<br />
<br />
====Sides====<br />
'''MK2'''<br />
<br />
The PCB still has a side with the traces on and a side without but now the silkscreen is on both the top and bottom, this makes it look good even when 'upside down' under a layer of glass. The LED, resistor and power wires can be mounted on either side of the board, with either surface mount or through hole components. If you are using through hole be careful when soldering not to interfere with the glass and introduce a gap between the glass and the PCB. If the MK2 board is made properly without copper plating then be sure to only solder the LED and resistor to the same side and the tracks. This problem is solved in the MK2a by removing the pads on the non connected side.<br />
<br />
MK2<br />

[[File:Mk2a.jpg| 400px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
MK2b Dual Power<br />
[[File:RRD-Mk2b-dual-power.jpg| 400px]]<br />
<br />
There is a central hole in the board (similar to this one http://wiki.makerbot.com/cchb1).<br />
It is sized so a small thermistor<br />
(for example the EPCOS one: http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?CMP=i-ddd7-00001003&sku=3878697 ) will fit though it allowing contact directly with the glass.<br />
''todo: test efficacy of using heat sink compound to better thermally couple the thermistor to the glass''<br />
<br />
[[File:PCB_Heatbed_MK2_therm_hole.jpg| 200px]]<br />
<br />
====Connection====<br />
Polarity doesn't affect the PCB, however the LEDs have a polarity.<br />
<br />
'''MK2'''<br />
<br />
There are pads and un-plated through holes for connecting the power wires. Ensure that the wire you use is thick enough for 10A, and solder it to the pads on the track side of the PCB. It is a good idea to think about strain relief so your moving build platform does not flex the joint, this can lead to failure of the joint over time. I recommend routing the wire from the heated bed to strain relief on the thick sheet before routing it to your controller/power supply. ''todo: get pictures of strain relief''<br />
<br />
'''MK2a'''<br />
<br />
The pads to solder onto have been greatly increased as shown in the picture below. The picture shows the wires prepared for soldering routed through the holes for extra security. This does not remove the need to use proper strain relief.<br />
<br />
[[File:Mk2a_Through_Hole.jpg|400 px]]<br />
<br />
'''MK2b Dual Power'''<br />
<br />
As you can see in the pictures below depending on the voltage you want to use you have to use different solder pads, but it's written on the PCB which pads have to be used for which voltage.<br />
<br />
[[File:RRD-Mk2b-dual-power-table.jpg|400px]] [[File:RRD-Mk2b-dual-power-connector.jpg|400px]]<br />
<br />
=====Optional LEDs=====<br />
'''MK2'''<br />
<br />
The LEDs are optional, but if you choose to use the LEDs you MUST install the resistor. Solder the components to the pads on the track side of the PCB. With the MK2, conventional wired parts can be substituted for the surface mount parts. If your MK2 board is made properly without copper plating then be sure to only solder the LED and resistor to the same side and the tracks. This problem is solved in the MK2a by removing the pads on the non connected side.<br />
<br />
<br />
''''Parts''''<br />
<br />
2 x surface mount (0805 size on the MK1 and MK2, 1206 size on the MK2a for easier soldering) or conventional through-hole LEDs. Install with opposite polarity so one or the other will light up regardless of the polarity of the power supply to the board.<br />
<br />
1 x 1K ohm surface mount or through-hole resistor<br />
<br />

== MK2 A4 ==<br />
<br />
This is [[Clone_Wars:_Othon | my build]]. I always wanted a big bed, in order to be able to plot (yes, actually plot, with artistic purpouses) at least DIN A4 in size. So I built my prusa mendel big enough to be able to host such a HBP PCB. I'm no good with any PCB editor, so I made my files in a CAD program, and exported the result file into a dxf file. The file has several layers the names of which should make the information self understandable. Anyway I'll tell: the layers with number names represent the routing of the traces the width of which is the layer's name in mm. The design was basically copied from MK2a. The engineering was made with an evolutive algorithm developed by [[Clone_Wars:_Othon | Damrod]] in [http://www.grasshopper3d.com/ grasshopper]. The manufacturing was a bit faulty, but it works flawlessly.<br />

== MK3 ALU-Heatbed Dual Power ==<br />
<br />
The [http://reprap.me/Alu-Heatbed-MK3 Alu-Heatbed MK3] have features similar to MK2 and you can also operate this board with 12V or 24V.<br><br />
<br />
- Heatbed with 3.2mm Aluminum Core. Print directly on the heatbed, no need for glass plate. It's a much lighter solution than PCB heatbed + glass, which makes it better for faster prints.<br><br />
- Dual power supply. Operate at 12V or 24V. You can use thinner wires when operating at 24V.<br><br />
- A central mounting hole on the front side to allow for three point mounting. This is much easier for bed leveling in comparison to 4 point mounting. First level the side with two holes and fix in place, then level the side with one hole.<br><br />
- Large solder pads for multiple wires (ribbon cable) or a SMD pinhead connector can be mounted.<br><br />
- Pads for SMD thermistor 1206<br><br />
<br />
* Dimensions 214mm x 214mm<br />
* 1 layer 35μm (1oz base) copper<br />
* Resistance between 1.4 and 1.6 ohm for the 12V<br />
* Resistance between 5.0 and 5.4 ohm for the 24V<br />
* 110 degrees Celsius possible for both 12V and 24V<br />
* Running 24V on the 12V terminals will heatup the heatbed to 100 degree in only 2 minutes (Your printer controller will regulate the power to the heatbed in order to get your preset temperature.)<br />
* 180 degree Celsius max. temperature<br />

== MK2a layout in SVG-format ==<br />
<br />
There's an SVG-version (Inkscape) of the MK2a-layout.<br />
<br />
For the toner transfer method and people that only have a printer for letter/DIN A4 there's a version with two separated parts.<br />
Because the parts only have few electrical contacts between them, they easily can be ironed next to each other, fixing the needed bridges with etch resistant paint before etching.<br />

==WARNING==<br />
<span style="color:red;>"'''WARNING!!!'''<br />
Be aware from where you buying the PCB heatbeds!!<br />
There is one critical thing, the heatbed must be etched directly from 35um copper clad! ASK YOUR SELLER!!!<br />
If the board is plated, as it's normally done, no manufacturer can guarantee the final thickness of copper or even how even the copper is around the board.<br />
Which means that the final power wont be evenly distributed around the board or the board wont have high enough output generally. <br />
<br />
'''Main warning sign are plated holes! Plating of holes requires copper plating.'''<br />
<br />
</span><br />

==Printing==<br />
<br />
<br />
Cover the bed with kapton tape. Degrease it and print.<br />
<br />
ABS temp: 110°C<br />
PLA temp: 50-60°C<br />
<br />
MAKE SURE YOUR PSU HAS 10 MORE AMPS SPARE!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
==Mounting==<br />
<br />
<br />
Known working solution, I (prusajr) use is Glass sheet (3mm) with glued on cork standoffs and on top of that is glued the heatbed.<br />
http://www.flickr.com/photos/prusajr/5410919911/<br />
http://www.flickr.com/photos/prusajr/5410919707/<br />
<br />
<br />
When mounted only using the four corners, the inherent warp of the pcb can be a problem, hence it is better to use the cork mounting system above (as the piece of cork in the centre helps to keep the pcb flat).<br />
Magnets can be used in replace of the cork, this makes the bed removable. However, I (mooneyj) have only tried this on a darwin type printer (where the build platform only moves in z). During fast printing, the darwin vibrates and it seems the heatbed magnets slide over each other slightly. The acceleration of the y axis on a mendel may cause the magnets to slide also. Perhaps a hybrid of magnet and bolt mounting would work well?.<br />
<br />
<br />
The current standard, however, is to simply place the glass on top of the heatbed, and affix it on the four sides with bulldog clips. The clips will not melt under pressure, and sufficiently hold the glass to the bed. This makes removal more easily for cleaning as well.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': According to the Eagle file posted on Thingiverse, the M3 holes are spaced 209 mm<br />
<br />
Mechanical drawings are here: [[http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:21271]]<br />
<br />
==Sides==<br />
<br />
PCB Bed has two sides, one with the traces (bottom side) and one with silkscreen (top).<br />
<br />
Printing on top side is safer, works great.<br />
<br />
Printing on bottom is more effective and heats up quicker. (Though the LED, resistor and wire connections are liable to collision with the print head. Also the tracks could be damaged if the print head collides. Make sure your z-bed-springs are not too strong to prevent damage during a collision).<br />
<br />

<br />
==Connection==<br />
<br />
<br />
===Optional LEDs===<br />
<br />
The LEDs are optional, but if you choose to use the LEDs you MUST install the resistor.<br />
<br />
''''Parts''''<br />
<br />
2 x Surface Mount LEDs<br />
<br />
1 x 1K ohm Surface Mount Resistor<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Mount the LEDs in different directions (polarity) so that one of the LEDs will light up regardless of the board's polarity. You can use a single LED if you are certain of the polarity.<br />

''RAMPS''<br />
<br />
See [[RAMPS1.4]], [[RAMPS1.3]], or [[RAMPS1.2]] depending on your version.<br />
<br />
''Sanguinolou''<br />
The MK2 PCB heatbed heats up to 110C when powered through the heated bed connection on Sanguinolou, your power supply should be 300W and ensure your wires from your power supply to the Sanguinololu should be capable of handling the total draw of 20A+. Using a 300W ATX power supply with the 4wire ATX dual 12V connector is working well for me.<br />
<br />
N.B. It is recommended that you use a heatsink on your heated bed mosfet, it will get hot!<br />
<br />
N.B. It is recommended that you measure the resistance of your board. I (evilB) didn't and blew up my Ramps 1.2 MOSFET because of a too high current. My measured resistance was 0.8 Ohm.<br />
<br />
==Testing==<br />
<br />
Its now in working state, Printed load of kits on it, working great.<br />
<br />
<br />
Main Idea is to use resistance of pcb traces as heating element.<br />
<br />
The following video shows a PCB heatbed MK2 being heated to 60 degrees as seen by an infrared camera:<br />
<videoflash>QE90bDUaAno</videoflash><br />
<br />
==Thermal insulation==<br />
<br />
It's a good idea to insulate the underside of the heatbed in order to get a faster heat up time and a overall better thermal performance.<br />
<br />
[[File:Thermal_Isolation.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
The [http://reprap.me/MK2ThermalInsulator MK2 / MK3 Thermal Insulator] is a great way to do exactly that.<br />
<br />
Mount the gasket firmly under the heatbed for the best thermal isolation.<br />
<br />
It fits the standard heatbed size of the 214mm x 214mm (200mm x 200mm) MK2 and MK3.<br />
<br />

Material: Cork<br />

It's not successor of MK1 even with it's name. It's concurrent design. - Josef Prusa<br />
<br />
MK2a Heatbed with minor changes by Tony Lock<br />
<br />
==== About the MK2a ====<br />
<br />
I liked Josef's original design but wanted to be able to use through hole components, have the thermistor poke through the middle and for it to look good on the 'back' with the silkscreen that Josef designed on that side as well.<br />
<br />
The MK2a has a few further changes:<br />
<br />
* A mounting hole in the middle of one edge to allow for easier bed leveling thanks to [http://hydraraptor.blogspot.com/2012/05/bed-levelling.html Nophead] for this suggestion.<br />
* Larger LED and Resistor pads to allow for 1206 size surface mount components.<br />
* Much larger area to solder the current carrying wire, easily connect ribbon cable (such as with the Mendel90 headbed connection). Also the through holes increased in size.<br />
* The redundant pads on the non-heating element side of the board removed to prevent confusion. These are not electrically connected if the board is not plated (plated boards are bad for the reasons outlined by Josef Prusa above).<br />

<br />
==== Printing ====<br />
'''MK2'''<br />
<br />
Although you can print directly to the bed covered in polyimide tape, no PCB is perfectly flat. It is recommended that you follow the directions in mounting, below, for better results.<br />
<br />
==== Mounting ====<br />
'''MK2'''<br />
<br />
The MK2 board can be mounted either side up and is designed to be mounted as Josef describes:<br />
<br />
http://josefprusa.cz/pcb-heatbed-final-mounting-and-wiring-solutio<br />
<br />
The holes in the 4 corners to attach the heated bed MK2 to the top print plate are not suitable for M3 bolts though! Use M2.5 instead.<br />
<br />
The glass protects the tracks from a head crash and is easily swapped out.<br />
<br />
The board dimensions are identical to the MK1 design.<br />
<br />
Insulation between the board and the thick plate should improve heat-up times and reduce energy consumption. An example is here:<br />
<br />
http://reprap.org/wiki/Mendel_heated_bed#Thermal_Insulation<br />
<br />
''Caution, I have not tried this with the temperatures that the PCB bed can reach!''<br />
<br />
'''MK2a'''<br />
<br />
The MK2a has a central mounting hole on the front side to allow for three point mounting. This is much easier for bed leveling in comparison to 4 point mounting. First level the side with two holes and fix in place, then level the side with one hole. A glass plate is highly recommended to provide a truly flat surface and rigidity.<br />
<br />
[[File:Mk2a_Central_Mount_Point.jpg |200 px]]<br />
<br />
====Sides====<br />
'''MK2'''<br />
<br />
The PCB still has a side with the traces on and a side without but now the silkscreen is on both the top and bottom, this makes it look good even when 'upside down' under a layer of glass. The LED, resistor and power wires can be mounted on either side of the board, with either surface mount or through hole components. If you are using through hole be careful when soldering not to interfere with the glass and introduce a gap between the glass and the PCB. If the MK2 board is made properly without copper plating then be sure to only solder the LED and resistor to the same side and the tracks. This problem is solved in the MK2a by removing the pads on the non connected side.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
MK2b Dual Power<br />
[[File:RRD-Mk2b-dual-power.jpg| 400px]]<br />
<br />
There is a central hole in the board (similar to this one http://wiki.makerbot.com/cchb1).<br />
It is sized so a small thermistor<br />
(for example the EPCOS one: http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?CMP=i-ddd7-00001003&sku=3878697 ) will fit though it allowing contact directly with the glass.<br />
''todo: test efficacy of using heat sink compound to better thermally couple the thermistor to the glass''<br />
<br />
[[File:PCB_Heatbed_MK2_therm_hole.jpg| 200px]]<br />
<br />
====Connection====<br />
Polarity doesn't affect the PCB, however the LEDs have a polarity.<br />
<br />
'''MK2'''<br />
<br />
There are pads and un-plated through holes for connecting the power wires. Ensure that the wire you use is thick enough for 10A, and solder it to the pads on the track side of the PCB. It is a good idea to think about strain relief so your moving build platform does not flex the joint, this can lead to failure of the joint over time. I recommend routing the wire from the heated bed to strain relief on the thick sheet before routing it to your controller/power supply. ''todo: get pictures of strain relief''<br />
<br />
'''MK2a'''<br />
<br />
The pads to solder onto have been greatly increased as shown in the picture below. The picture shows the wires prepared for soldering routed through the holes for extra security. This does not remove the need to use proper strain relief.<br />
<br />
[[File:Mk2a_Through_Hole.jpg|400 px]]<br />
<br />
'''MK2b Dual Power'''<br />
<br />
As you can see in the pictures below depending on the voltage you want to use you have to use different solder pads, but it's written on the PCB which pads have to be used for which voltage.<br />
<br />
[[File:RRD-Mk2b-dual-power-table.jpg|400px]] [[File:RRD-Mk2b-dual-power-connector.jpg|400px]]<br />
<br />
=====Optional LEDs=====<br />
'''MK2'''<br />
<br />
The LEDs are optional, but if you choose to use the LEDs you MUST install the resistor. Solder the components to the pads on the track side of the PCB. With the MK2, conventional wired parts can be substituted for the surface mount parts. If your MK2 board is made properly without copper plating then be sure to only solder the LED and resistor to the same side and the tracks. This problem is solved in the MK2a by removing the pads on the non connected side.<br />
<br />
<br />
''''Parts''''<br />
<br />
2 x surface mount (0805 size on the MK1 and MK2, 1206 size on the MK2a for easier soldering) or conventional through-hole LEDs. Install with opposite polarity so one or the other will light up regardless of the polarity of the power supply to the board.<br />
<br />
1 x 1K ohm surface mount or through-hole resistor<br />
<br />

== MK2 A4 ==<br />
<br />
This is [[Clone_Wars:_Othon | my build]]. I always wanted a big bed, in order to be able to plot (yes, actually plot, with artistic purpouses) at least DIN A4 in size. So I built my prusa mendel big enough to be able to host such a HBP PCB. I'm no good with any PCB editor, so I made my files in a CAD program, and exported the result file into a dxf file. The file has several layers the names of which should make the information self understandable. Anyway I'll tell: the layers with number names represent the routing of the traces the width of which is the layer's name in mm. The design was basically copied from MK2a. The engineering was made with an evolutive algorithm developed by [[Clone_Wars:_Othon | Damrod]] in [http://www.grasshopper3d.com/ grasshopper]. The manufacturing was a bit faulty, but it works flawlessly.<br />

<br />
== MK2a layout in SVG-format ==<br />
<br />
There's an SVG-version (Inkscape) of the MK2a-layout.<br />
<br />
For the toner transfer method and people that only have a printer for letter/DIN A4 there's a version with two separated parts.<br />
Because the parts only have few electrical contacts between them, they easily can be ironed next to each other, fixing the needed bridges with etch resistant paint before etching.<br />

Below is a table listing suppliers of filament.<br />
<br />
* There are no prices, because these change quickly and suppliers often don't care to update them.<br />
* Always check before ordering, and if you can, update this page. <br />
* If there are any missing fields in the table, please feel free to update.<br />
* Sellers: please keep your advertisements on your shop page. We already know each of you is the best and the greatest.<br />
<br />
* But most of all '''review your supplier!'''<br />
