Kapton Heater 160mm Round 12V

This 160mm diameter 12V Kapton Heater is an inexpensive but highly valuable upgrade for delta-style 3D Printers, and is commonly used to upgrade a standard build platform into a Heated Bed. It is essentially a heating element etched into a highly heat-resistant foil, which is then covered and insulated by Kapton Tape for lasting durability. It operates on 12V DC, and allows you to print in a variety of different 3D Filaments that would typically require a heated build platform.

This heater pad is round with a 160mm diameter, which perfectly caters to the round build platforms of Delta-style printers, although it can also be used for squared build platforms as well. However, just remember that it may not be able to reach the corners of a square or rectangular build platform, although this shouldn’t be a big problem unless you want to start a print from one of these four corners.

Typical Applications for the Kapton Heater 160mm Round 12V:

This 12V 160mm Round Kapton Heater Pad is stocked for smaller Delta style printers, but can actually be used for a wide range of different printers. This is because, despite the round shape, the heat should be able to spread quite evenly throughout aluminium build platforms, meaning that it could also be used for squared or rectangular build platforms too. Just remember to check the power rating of the printer that you are looking to upgrade, as it may require a few extra components or an additional module to convert the power to 12V if necessary.
