    Hi, I cracked my bed right down the center this morning while removing something. I see that the replacement part is out of stock, and after a brief chat with support and some googling it doesn't seem like the part is available.

    Is there a replacement heated bed available from Robo3D or do you have to go with something like Geckotek? And do they make a bed for the R1+? I actually don't see one available for sale there, but see people talking about it.

    Thanks!

    Your best bet is to search for bed replacement projects here in the forum
    There is nothing off-the-shelf that will match.
    Folks generally use aluminum plate rather than glass and either move over the existing heater pad or (more often) replace it with a better one*

    Details on all of these parts we can provide :)


    *this requires either using an A/C heater or a larger power supply since the stock 130w heater doesn't leave a lot of spare watts on the stock 330w power supply. 400 watt supplies are cheap though: https://smile.amazon.com/GALYGG-Switching-Electronic-Equipment-Computer/dp/B06XR3ZLSG
