I’m seriously looking at adding a CR-10S to my printers, but I’m torn between the 300mm version and the 400mm. The 300mm is bigger than my current options, but the 400mm might offer much more versatility. My main concern about the 400mm version (apart from the £150 extra cost) is the power required to heat the bed when perhaps only a relatively small model is being printed. As I understand it, the CR10 has no “zone” option, so the whole bed is heated for every job.

Does anyone know if there are any solutions to this? Fitting a 300mm bed to the 400mm frame (so having two “swappable” beds)? A zone software/hardware update?

Any other thoughts?
