๐ฅ MK2B PCB Heatbed Dual 12V 24V
โจ๏ธ Stable, Reliable & Uniform Heating for 3D Printers
The MK2B is one of the most widely used PCB heatbeds in the RepRap and Prusa ecosystem. Designed for PLA, ABS, PETG, and more, it ensures consistent thermal performance and reduces warping during printing.
With a heatbed installed, your ABS and PLA prints achieve optimal results because the heated surface prevents parts from cooling too quickly.
๐ก๏ธ Thermal & Electrical Performance
- ๐ฅ Prevents warping by keeping print surfaces warm
- ๐งฝ Must be degreased before use and ideally covered with Kapton tape
- ๐ง Includes a dedicated solder pad for 24V configurations
๐ก๏ธ Temperature & Heating Times
- At 12V: heats to 90ยฐC in ~8 minutes
- At 24V: heats to 120ยฐC in ~6 minutes
๐ฅ Recommended Printing Temperatures
- ABS: Best performance at 110ยฐC bed temperature
- PLA: Optimal at 50ยฐCโ60ยฐC
๐ Electrical Characteristics
- Nominal resistance: 1.3ฮฉ โ 2ฮฉ
- Power supply requirement: Ensure the printer PSU has at least 10A available
๐ Robust & Easy to Integrate
Made from FR4 PCB, the MK2B offers low thermal expansion and long-term durability. Mounting holes follow the Prusa i3 standard, while clear solder pads simplify wiring.
๐ ๏ธ Applications
- ๐จ๏ธ 3D printer heated bed upgrades
- ๐งช Prototyping and temperature-controlled printing
- ๐งฑ DIY mechanical/thermal experiment beds
- ๐ง Custom RepRap/Prusa builds
โ ๏ธ Notes
- ๐ Use the correct terminals for 12V or 24V operation
- ๐งฝ Clean and degrease before applying Kapton or glass surface
- ๐ก๏ธ Confirm thermistor values before printing
