Thanks for attaching the Gerber. Could you give us more information on the rating (votlage/current) of the heating element as well as why this is needed on 3D printers?

I can answer the 2nd question for you, as I have 2 3d printers, both having heated beds. The heated beds are required when printing with some kinds of filament, such as ABS plastics. If the bed is not heated to a certain temp n kept at that temp the print adhision may fail totally or even warp your print(s). So the beds will be needed in some cercomstances. Hope this helps. I think as for the voltage, I think most are 12v DC, atleast mine are.
