My enclosure

[rsilvers]

It is taking my bed an hour to get to 120C in the enclosure. Is there an easy way to get more current into the heater?

Rob, do you have a 24v machine or the older 12v 2 brick design?

24v.

So this is weird. I stopped the print as part of it did lift. I added a brim and am restarting it. The bed dropped down to 70C, and then went right up to 130C in a few minutes. I am not sure why it did it this time but not before. Maybe it has to do if the extruder heat is also on.

120 is definitely high and can see it being hard to reach but i dont think it should take that long. i have never tried to go that high with it. you cant squeeze anything extra out of the heated bed. for a 24v machine it is what it is.

I am having an anomaly/malfunction as the second time it went right up to 130C with no problem in minutes. So it is capable - I just need to figure out why it didn't work every time.
