Heated Bed For Type A Machines Series 1 #3DThursday

typeamachine-heated-upgrade

We’ve been testing the Type A Machines Series 1 3D printer in our lab and we were surprised to see an instructable for a heated bed upgrade. This printer comes stocked with a large 305mm x 305mm removable glass build plate and doesn’t offer a heated bed upgrade on the manufacturers website (yet). It’s a ambitious project that requires working with line level 110VAC current, so you need to know what you’re doing! It’s good to know Type A Machines has the best hacker’s warranty, just don’t blow up your machine!

If you’ve ever printed something large on an FDM style 3D Printer then you’re well aware of the limitations of the technology. Without a heated bed it becomes incredibly difficult to get large prints to stay down without warping.

What’s a solution to this problem? A heated bed of course! But what if you already have a printer without a heated bed? There’s no need to go out and buy a new one, if you have a Series 1 you can use the modular build platform to make your own heated bed! It’s pretty easy and only requires some basic fabrication skills.
