In this video I show how you can use Cura to increment the bed heater in order to allow for better heat distribution on the Ender Extender kit with a stock bed heater.
The 2 main problems I ran into with the stock bed heater on the Ender Extender 400xl were:
- PETG 85C - the thermal run away alarm would trigger and shut the printer down
- PLA 60C - on larger prints the corners would lift
Both problems were caused by the large heat bed acting as a heat sink and not allowing for proper heating.
