MK2B 3D Printer PCB Heat Bed - 214 mm DocumentationOverviewThe MK2B 3D Printer PCB Heat Bed is a high-quality, 214 mm diameter printed circuit board (PCB) designed specifically for 3D printing applications. This heat bed is capable of achieving temperatures up to 120C, making it ideal for printing with a variety of materials. The PCB design ensures even heat distribution, reducing hotspots and warping.Technical SpecificationsDiameter: 214 mm
Thickness: 1.6 mm
Material: FR4 PCB with 2oz copper
Temperature Range: up to 120C
Power Rating: 120W
Connector: 4-pin JST-XH connectorCode ExamplesExample 1: Arduino Control using MosfetIn this example, we will use an Arduino Uno to control the heat bed using a Mosfet driver. This code assumes you have the Heat Bed connected to a 12V power supply and a Mosfet driver (such as the IRLZ44N).```cpp
const int heatBedPin = 9; // Pin connected to Mosfet gate
int targetTemperature = 100; // Desired temperature in Celsiusvoid setup() {
pinMode(heatBedPin, OUTPUT);
}void loop() {
// Read temperature from a thermistor or thermocouple (not shown)
int currentTemperature = readTemperature();if (currentTemperature < targetTemperature) {
// Heat bed is too cold, turn it on
digitalWrite(heatBedPin, HIGH);
} else {
// Heat bed is at or above target temperature, turn it off
digitalWrite(heatBedPin, LOW);
}
delay(1000); // Check temperature every 1 second
}
```Example 2: Raspberry Pi Control using Python and RPi.GPIOIn this example, we will use a Raspberry Pi to control the heat bed using Python and the RPi.GPIO library. This code assumes you have the Heat Bed connected to a 12V power supply and a relay module (such as the SRD-05VDC-SL-C).```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import timeheatBedPin = 17 # Pin connected to relay moduleGPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(heatBedPin, GPIO.OUT)targetTemperature = 100 # Desired temperature in Celsiuswhile True:
# Read temperature from a thermistor or thermocouple (not shown)
currentTemperature = readTemperature()if currentTemperature < targetTemperature:
# Heat bed is too cold, turn it on
GPIO.output(heatBedPin, GPIO.HIGH)
else:
# Heat bed is at or above target temperature, turn it off
GPIO.output(heatBedPin, GPIO.LOW)
time.sleep(1) # Check temperature every 1 second
```Example 3: ESP32 Control using MicroPythonIn this example, we will use an ESP32 board to control the heat bed using MicroPython. This code assumes you have the Heat Bed connected to a 12V power supply and a relay module (such as the SRD-05VDC-SL-C).```python
import machine
import utimeheatBedPin = 23 # Pin connected to relay modulemachine.Pin(heatBedPin, machine.Pin.OUT)targetTemperature = 100 # Desired temperature in Celsiuswhile True:
# Read temperature from a thermistor or thermocouple (not shown)
currentTemperature = readTemperature()if currentTemperature < targetTemperature:
# Heat bed is too cold, turn it on
machine.Pin(heatBedPin, machine.Pin.HIGH)
else:
# Heat bed is at or above target temperature, turn it off
machine.Pin(heatBedPin, machine.Pin.LOW)
utime.sleep(1) # Check temperature every 1 second
```Notes and PrecautionsAlways use a suitable power supply and ensure the Heat Bed is properly connected to avoid damage or electrical shock.
Use a thermistor or thermocouple to monitor the temperature and adjust the target temperature accordingly.
Make sure to implement proper safety measures, such as thermal runaway protection, to prevent overheating or electrical fires.This documentation is intended to provide a general overview and code examples for using the MK2B 3D Printer PCB Heat Bed - 214 mm.
