Bed Temp not accurate

[Roxy]

I know it is frustrating... But it really is helpful to turn on your bed and nozzle and let them stabilize for 5 or 10 minutes prior to starting a print. When I decide I want to print... I want to print. But if it is something I care about, waiting 5 or 10 minutes really helps!!!!

Hi

With a probe (any mechanical probe) you probably need the bed and carriage in a defined location as the warmup occurs. Where that is probably does not matter as much as it being the same every time. Most probes heat up more from the bed than from the extruder and that's why the bed to carriage relation matters.

Placing a piece of cork or even a piece of cardboard on the bed during warm up not only makes it heat faster and more evenly, it protects the probe from damage. On PLA it's not such a big deal but with ABS and 110 C bed temps it makes a big difference.

Hi

Since the cork is on the opposite side as the probe ... not so much. As long as the PID / loop parameters are properly tuned, the top side of the bed will lag the probe by quite a bit.
