      The default setting for the duet is to use bang-bang control for the heated bed.

      Is there a reason for this that I should take into account before using PID control for my bed?
      (Other than the tighter control of a PID not really being necessary, of course)

        PID control of the bed is generally preferred, but you should tune the bed heater system before you enable it.

          Thanks.

          Pretty obvious now I come to think of it really.

            Pid matters more the more powerful the heater relative to its area, so for a pcb heater 200x200 running on 12v drawing 9A the bed will struggle to get to temperatureand it will heat up slowly, bang bang is fine. If you have a much more powerful heater then bang bang would cause big oscillations at the set temperature.
