Review on 24V 250W HICTOP MK3 Aluminum Heated Bed Hot Bed PCB Heatbed Platform For Reprap 3D Printer - 275 X 220Mm by William Wiley

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works good, but still not quite flat

I bought this bed to replace the original bed on my Hictop 3dp-17. This new bed still has a slight dip in the middle, but it's not as bad as my original one. Even though Hictop firmware has a on-the-fly auto bed leveling, I still use blue tape to fill the middle and a BuildTak sheet on top to try to get it as flat as possible. My first print is sticking well on it (knock on wood).For the price and speed of delivery, it was worth the buy for me.NOTE: in the picture, you'll see I reverse mounted the bed. This creates less strain on the connector and stops the Z inductive sensor from hitting the connector.
