Wiring heated bed

[dkrockville]

Are there wires in the kit to use to solder to the heated bed?
If not what type wires are needed? Length?

Can I just kapton-tape the thermistor so that it is below the hole in the bed?

I see where to solder the wires for 12V.

Can anyone show a photo of this?

Thanks.

Yep there are 2 longer 14 gauge wires which are for the heated bed in the kit! Length is about 2' I believe. Also included in the kit is some cable management wrap for the heated bed thermistor and power wires.

You should attempt to get the thermistor into the hole for the most accurate readings, so either carefully drill a hole in the center of the bed so the thermistor will fit, or shave down the coating on the thermistor to fit. (neither method is tested so I'm not sure how that will work). Or you can just tape it on, it is only the bed so it doesn't have to be super precise, just make sure it doesn't fall off to prevent thermal runaway.
