Description: ***PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION***Custom made chamber heater with external PSU / temp controller boxHeater unit is printed in PA6-GF/CF and the PSU box is printed in PLA - Each kit is made to order. If you want something other than PLA for the PSU box send me a message and we can do a custom order. This is also available on my etsy shop (Layerzerodesign). I have it listed at 30 days handling time - I will always try and get them out as fast as I can but timeline is dependant on the current volume of orders & my day job schedule, I typically get them out the door in 1 to 4 weeks MAX. I will be in contact with you via messages with any updates and ETA's. Send me a message with your order with what color(s) you prefer for your PSU box. Uses a Meanwell 350w 24vdc PSU and a 200w 24v PTC heater element with 2x 50mm fans.Will come fully wired and assembled and will just need to be installed. Uses properly rated connectors with crimp on terminals (1x 2 pin rated for 10 amps, and 1x 4 pin for the thermistor & fans), all wires are sleeved with nylon sheathing & held in place with heat shrink tubing.Installation will involve drilling a ~1/2" hole in the floor of your housing to run the wires out of the chamber. The heater unit just snaps into place beneath the AUX fan. I recommend using a 1/8 bit for a pilot hole and then use a unibit (step bit) to get to 1/2". There is a small molded indentation near the back left of the chamber floor, this is the perfect spot to drill. Drill your hole, run the wires out, snap the heater unit into place, and plug in the connectors. Plug in your AC power to the PSU box and set your temp with the temp controller and you're ready for less warping, better bed adhesion, and better layer adhesion! Both the fans & heater are controlled by the temp controller.You can add an IOT outlet controller to be able to turn the heater on and off remotely via your smart home control app. If you turn the heater on and off this way it will automatically turn back on with the last settings. Truly a set and forget option. Just turn it on when you need it, and leave it off when you don't. I use a TP-link Kasa smart plug. You can get them off amazon cheap.You should set the temp ~5° lower than your intended temp because heat rises to the top of the chamber and the temp probe is near the bottom in the heater unit.I recommend not going above 55-60° C. Since the BL printers were not designed with a high temp heated chamber in mind, limiting your temp to ~55-60° leaves enough headroom to protect your stepper motors & belts and other electronics inside the chamber. Turning the heated bed on along with the chamber heater will further reduce heating times. 55-60° C chamber temp is more than sufficient to see benefits and increase the bed and layer adhesion of all materials while reducing warping.When your print finishes turn the heater off and let the chamber cool naturally without opening the door. Minimizing and slowing the temperature gradient is the goal with a chamber heater, so it's important to let it cool slowly on its own before you open the door to remove the print. I have tried to make this kit as easy and user friendly as possible for people in the community that want to print engineering materials but either aren't comfortable with electronics or simply don't want to put the time investment into sourcing components & building the unit.I am happy to answer any questions or assist with getting it set up, however you are responsible for the final installation and you use this at your own risk. I take great pride in my work and would never sell anything I thought was unsafe but I take no responsibility for incorrect use or installation, or any issues that arise from use of this product.
