Find insulator to put under heating bed #21

Open opatiny opened 4 years ago

We observed that the weight cells and the magnetic stirrer heat a lot when the heat bed it on. A mean of avoiding this must be found. The idea was to put an insulator on the hole surface under the bed. The material must be heat resistant (logically).

We ordered some "Calcium-Magnesium Silicate Thermal Insulation Sheet" on https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/thermal-insulating-sheets/7248906/.

We will have to test whether it is insulating enough. Also, we need to find a way to fix it / glue it to the heat bed.
