75 degrees = 68 degrees. No wonder I couldn’t get things to adhere well sometimes.

As a side note, the temp varies wildly along the plate base. An enclosure would definitely help here.

Has anyone else tested the actual temps versus the set/displayed temps and noticed a difference?

    The edges are going to be cooler if everything is working the way it’s designed (especially on a bed slinger), since the heater doesn’t go all the way to the edges and because of increased airflow. One of the reasons I was thinking about getting a Prusa XL is because it has multiple independent bed heaters.

    An enclosure or tent will help some. When I’m printing near the edges I also up the bed temp 5 to 10 degrees depending on room temp.
