UPDATES

Does not come with PEI or power cable attached

FREE thermistor with every heatbed purchase, the stock thermistor from prusa reads 20-25c too high (when it reads 100c it's actually only 77c). Our thermistor has been tested to be within 5c of target temp

the mounting holes are epoxy to eliminate chance of PCB delaminating at the drill points and comes with blue LED!

What is it?

This is a heatbed for a 3d printer. The design is a reworked and fully tested 100% clone of the Prusa Research. It is a multi zone heater design compensating for cold corners. The design uses three power zones where the corners heat couple °C more than the center to form warm air shield at the edges of the print bed.

Why did you make it?

There was a shortage of Mk42 heatbeds and the lack of supply prompted many attempts to manufacture the open source design. The design files were open source but the manufacture parameters were not. It prevented clones from being made, which we overcame with many rounds of trial and error.

What makes it special?

We found the "secret recipe" so the boards function 100% identical to the Prusa Research mk42. After 6 rounds of beta testing and 3 rounds of final sample testing, we are ready to ship the final product, while others are merely shipping untested / un-vetted versions.

Highly recommended!

After searching far and wide around the internet for a suitable replacement heatbed for my work's trusty Prusa i3 MK2s printer, I stumbled upon this listing.
This heatbed works incredibly well, is easy to install, and Joe (who created this heatbed clone and runs this Tindie store) is incredibly helpful, generous, and responsive to emails. I would highly recommended picking one of these up if you need it, you won't be disappointed!

Fine heat bed, works like original

I picked this up to have as spare. My original bed failed and I installed this one while waiting on a warranty replacement of the original. It works exactly like the factory bed. No issues heating or zeroing with probe.
You do need to get a PEI sheet to cover the bed - DO NOT GET 1mm thick if you are using on with a PINDA probe - it won't work as it's too thick. Get the 0.25mm thick sheets - available on Amazon.
