The thermistor goes where the original thermistor was and the power cables that go to your current heated bed now simply do to the ssr solid state relay.
3d printer heated bed.
The mk2a heat bed 200mm x 200mm is a good example of a pcb heat bed.
This particular heat bed has 2 integrated leds and an integrated resistor which makes it rather plug and play when compared to other solutions.
And not surprisingly there are as many heated bed designs as hobbyists.
May be when the market is ready we get heated bed stock with the printer but for now no design rule them all.
It reduces the temperature between the filament and the bed to provide better adhesion.
Your printer will return the current pid settings for the heatbed.
Build one on my own too yahb yet another heated bed.

So heated beds have one very obvious main purpose.
Form the heating wire with a bed of nails.
But a heated bed has a second side effect that can help reduce warping at the source and that s because the radiated heat will help keep the print warm.
Since i also bought me a printer to hack it i chose the obvious solution.
Get the current pid settings using the m503 command.
The mk2 heated bed is the most used heated bed by the diy community.
It will take the 12volt signal from your board and use it to open up the 110v to your new bed.

Use some kapton tape to fix the wire in its actual form.
And that is to get the surface of the print bed up to a temperature where the print will stick to it better and as such will not come loose from the unavoidable warping forces that the layer by layer printing process generates.
On your printer s controller board very little changes.
Most desktop 3d printers nowadays have provisions for heating the printing bed because it is one of the most effective ways to prevent warping of the first layer.
The tape should only adhere to.
A heated bed allows a user to control the temperature of the printing process and the subsequent cooling phase.
If you managed to perform the hotend calibration then the heatbed pid calibration will be much easier.
Fix the wire distances.
Make a bed of nails and place 32 nails in equal distances on two.
The concept of a heated bed works by keeping the filament material uniformly warm preventing the uneven cooling down which results to warping.
It was to address this problem that the 3d printer heated bed was designed.
