Unresolved Heated beds for PLA

Hey guys,

So I've upgraded to a new hexagon hot end... that works well, I have the fans installed and went with http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:166452...

Now, I seem to be having problems with curling on my pieces, which was not a problem before with a bit of Kapton tape... and I've tried masking tape, and printing straight to the bed. I've printed hundreds of things with the Kapton tape bed. Now, because of the "cooling fan" on the new hex head, I think the airflow is causing warping and curling.

So, I've just ordered a heated bed. Does anyone know where I should plug this thing in on the RAMPS?

I'm in a cold basement and even with the main 40mm fan off I'm having curling. I'm hoping this new print bed works. Has anyone else experienced warping this bad?

I'm running PLA at 205/200 C... with 20% or NO FAN aside form the Hexagon hot end fan.... I just wonder if anyone else is having these issues.

 

Bed plugs into D8, thermistor in T1:

You'll definitely have warping with PLA if the ambient is colder than like 20C

 

Hey, thanks guys... I'm assuming I can just use metal paper clips to attach the new bed to my setup? Something like this? https://www.google.com/search?q=pap...stock-images-paper-clamp-image438749;1300;955

 

Any other suggestions? I would have liked the bed to have screw holes, but I think those are done?

 

Also, I have a heater in my room with a thermometer and it's ready 60F... So yeah, It's chilly down here. Also, that is 60F with electric heat, so it's very dry in this room, more like 58 to the "feel".
