About

  • OSE Reasons for using a nichrome 120V bed are scalability and lower cost for large beds.
  • Reason for DIY nichrome beds is clear for larger beds, which would be rather expensive.
  • Significant testing is needed for a safe method. Fiberglass coated wire, insulated bed, clamp-on as opposed to double sided tape is preferred for higher temperature printing. For small beds, we can make whatever size we need.
  • Hackaday article - [1]

Sourcing

Pad

  • 400+ watt 8" beds do not exist - [2]
  • Expensive on amazon - [3]
  • Silicone rubber sheet - to 450F - [4] - $6/sf
  • 10x10" heatbed aliexpress 500W - $10 - [5]
  • 200W 8x8, $13 - [6]

Silicone Rubber Sheet

  • Silicone rubber sheet - 20x20", 1 mm - $10 - [7]
  • McMaster - <$5/sf for 1/32" thick - [8]

Double Sided Tape

Single Sided Tape

  • Kapton tape, 4"x100ft - $25 - [10]
  • Enough for 300 small beds (4"), or 33 12" beds.

Coated Nichrome Wire

Uncoated Nichrome Wire

  • Need 30 Ohm resistance for the length of wire at 120V to get 480W, for P=IV, V=IR, I=V/R -> P=V^2/R = 120^2/30 according to Electrical Power Calculator.

Sleeving

  • 20 cents/foot, 1/16" ID - [11]
  • Wire sleeving - [12] - 15 cents/foot for 16 gauge.

Other Options

  • Carbon fiber is also used as a heating wire - [13]. Interesting. But it appears it can only do 15W/meter? Why is it limited? Limitation appears to be encapsulating materials - [14]
