- LDO Voron 2.4. Rev D
My LDO Voron 2.4 350 Rev D started smelling very bad after approx 200h of printing over the last year.
Please don't come up with comments like "usual ABS SMELL". It is definitely not the ABS!
This smell is really horrible and spreads around the complete house.
The reason seems to be using the heat bed at 120 degrees Celsius for drying silica for a long time period (approx 8h).
Now I want to replace the heat plate of the bed and AVOID to get such smells again.
I asked LDO which glue was used for the LDO Voron 2.4 Rev D
The answer was (Many thanks to LDO for that fast answer):
Unluckily, most silicon heat plates I found are equipped with the 3M 468 adhesive.
Some German seller for 3D equipment told me that Chinese 3M is probably not original ... but how shall I know if the heat plate which is sold here does not also come from China? :-(
Fabreeko offers heat plates with an improved adhesive (They seem to know about that issue), or probably even without. But they are currently out of stock for 350x350.
Besides this, I don't know how to order from Germany (probably quite expensive, when including shipping and taxes).
Does anyone have experience of using heat resistors for heating a 3D printer bed?
My idea is as follows:
Drill 60 M3 threads into the back of the aluminum plate to fix 30×50W load resistors, which should be sufficient for heating at >600W.
Moving the Nevermore to another place is not optimum, but I assume this should be possible.
I would like to give that a try, but do have some questions before making the effort:
Thank you for the feedback.

I would like to give that a try, but do have some questions before making the effort:
- Is there any conductive paste on the market which does not smell (!)
- Does this work with the cartographer probe?
- Any other possible trouble I have overseen? (Yes, I know 230V needs sophisticated electrical isolation)
Thank you for the feedback.
