Thanks @maestro for the reply. Once I got looking at the bed a bit more a solution revealed it's self. I had insulated my glas bed as well based upon Keenovo's recommendation. It help considerably but my heater has gone belly-up. The metal bed will be installed when the new heater shows up. Long wait.

In the mean time I decided to go whole-hog and install a Duet3 along with a slice mosquito magna hot end. They arrived today. This gets me back to the forum to beg any tidbits of technical information on the F430. The big one right now is needing the technical specs on the XYZ Stepper motors. Things like max current etc. Does anyone have that info? Thanks in advance.

Hi @Maestro ,

I'm new to this forum, found it while searching info on the f430.

Would you mind sharing information on your build-plate? I've changed the heater and insulated it but have been wondering if going to a metal plate would be the best, long term, route. Printing ULTEM.

Your other mods are really interesting to me. Do you happen to have a bog or other site with more details?

Thank You!
