Heated bed: Update

Hi All

I got a bit of 5 mm aluminium sheet today. It's a little rough but it did come out of a skip !
I coated the heater Side in Kapton Tape to provide the electrical insulation.

The heater mat remains unchanged with a resistance of 1 ohm.

My Type K thermiter registered 5 mv after 10 or so mins and water boils away furiously.

I call this viable :)
Next question is how do I mount this on my reprap.

I'm also working on a PCB based heater.
