      Hi all. Duet 3 board is great, this is a design comment.
      I have been messing with a 5ft x 5ft x 7ft build volume printer for 3 years.
      It had a 8mm heated aluminum bed (too thin) that operated well but warped badly. I have since disconnected it.
      I have had surprising success with using regular contact cement as an adhesive over duct tape on the aluminum bed, at room temperature.
      This is just an observation for those hobbyists who can't spend thousands on a large heated bed.
      I hope someone finds this useful.
