The package contains
- 1*Heated build plate
- 1*FCC ribbon cable
Please note that this heated build plate cannot communicate with UP Studio software, therefore user cannot control its temperature in the software.The only mean of control is the power switch button on the build plate, once switched on the plate will heated up to its maximum temperature.
For getting power from the printer with FFC cable, the heated build plate is able to reach about 55-60℃.
User can also connect an external power supply in addition to the printer’s power supply,which will allow even higher temperature.Here is some information for your reference:
- It is DC powered, 12-36V are ok for the heated plate
- It is rated for about 5A current.
- The polarity is shown by small letters beside the terminal, however it only important for the led indicator, the heating circuit does not has polarity requirement.
The heated plate will cut off its external power when temperature reached to about 110℃.

Received and works well. I just give 4, end not 5 , because it is delivered without document (or link) which can explain how to use external power supply to better manage the T° (faster and higher) …

This heated bed is just highly recommended : warm up to 60°C powered by the supplied flat cable. It is possible to warm up higher using external DC power supply, easily. Worth its price, for sure

Having the option for a separate power supply is great! For me the ribbon cable worked poorly, so I opted for an external power supply. 12V 1A keeps the plate at
~60 degrees. I put buildtac on it and adhesion is very strong. The plate surface is not very flat, but calibration keeps it in check.

EXtremely fast delivery. Works fine. Remember it will only turn on after printer initialization.
