Aluminium Bed 250x270x3mm

These 250x270mm Aluminium Beds are simple but effective printing platforms for 3D Printers, that are typically used in conjunction with Kapton Pads and Silicone Heater Pads. They offer a flat and sturdy platform for printing, which can dramatically improve print quality compared to a bumpy or uneven surface.

What makes these printing platforms so great, especially when compared to PCB beds, is their high durability, as well as the natural compatibility with Inductive Sensor Probes. This ensures that, even when removing prints with near-excessive force, they will maintain their shape and flatness characteristics, while also making the bed levelling process much easier than ever before, with auto-levelling settings built in to most modern slicing software already.

Please Note: This is a raw aluminium plate that is not drilled, sanded or straightened. It does not include a heater, so be sure to purchase an adhesive Kapton heater pad if you want to print ABS and Exotic Filaments.

Typical Applications for the 250x270mm Aluminium Bed:

These 250x270mm aluminium heatbeds are designed to fit 3D printers that are based off of the Prusa i3 design with the extra-large build platform, which of course includes our DIYElectronics Prusa i3 Standard and Premium Kits. It can also be used in conjunction with many of our Heater Pads to create a heated build surface, which makes printing in ABS and various Exotic Filaments much easier due to the enhanced first layer adhesion and reduced warping from cooling off.

These features make this aluminium bed not only an effective upgrade for almost any printer without a heatbed, but also an inexpensive way to dramatically increase the quality and consistency of each of the prints you produce.

Our team of engineers, consultants and specialists have years of combined experience within the world of mechanics, robotics, electronics and programming, which allows us to build specialised products targeted at catering to the real needs of our consumers.

We understand that a good product is not only focused on quality, but also on affordability and accessibility, which is why we manufacture our own in-house products that aim to meet the ever-expanding needs of our customers. One such example is the Prusa i3 3D Printer, which we have improved upon numerous times with specialised extruder designs, laser-cut enclosures and even accessories like spool holders – To provide customers with the type of consistent quality that we would like to experience from every brand, both local and international.

Our in-house products also come with the added benefit of ultimate customer support, because nobody knows our products like we do, allowing us to offer the very best in terms of customer support for building, maintaining, repairing or simply enjoying our range of DIYElectronics in-house products.
