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?
I wonder if gluing down a thin layer of borosilicate glass would even out the hotspots as it comes to temperature? maybe place it between the magnetic base and the heater. it'd take longer to come up to temp, though.
that said, I expect my beds to be 10 degrees cooler than the thermister says- simply because the thermister location is usually closer to the heat source and covered from ambient air. it's all relative anyhow, and every brand/formulation of filament is going to be slightly different as to what works best.
