Custom Aluminum Heat Bed & Silicone Heater

If the new aluminum plate and silicone heater are too heavy for the stress gauges, I’m planning on adding a “coil over spring” that rests between the aluminum bed and stock steel triangular frame. Such a spring should be able to offset the weight of the new heat bed so that the weigh resting on the stress gauge tabs is equivalent to the stock plastic tray + heat bed combo. Fingers crossed…
