My department has an older Taz 2 model, which uses a 12V system. The silicone heater pad is showing low resistance and takes an incredibly long time to heat up to operable temperatures for most filaments. Does anyone have any suggestions for sourcing a 300 mm 12V heatbed assembly for my machine?

One of our re-sellers itworks3d sells a good amount of our older printer parts.

I found this 12V silicone heater in stock on their site:

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll see if we can get that ordered.
