Is it possible to use the E180 with a heatbed?
at many pictures from the mainboard a see there's a adaptor nearby the USB Port named heatbed.
Best regards
Michael

I have contact Geeetech engineer
They tell us:
They need to collect user feedback（It depends on a quantity）
If users need to add the heatbed,they will add it in the future

perfect. :-D
For the E180 i'am using a masking tape with a glue stick. (google: Pritt Stift)
It is perfekt for the E180. :-) but a heatbed is nice to have.

Does anyone tried to add a diy heated bed (e.g. silicone heater)
I'm interested if the electronics got the control option. I didn't open mine yet so I was wondering if someone else did it.
Cheers

If someone wants to add the heatbed.
They should focus on the these:
1.Heatbed
2.Mosfet of the motherboard(You can buy the board for A30)
The board for E180 doesn't have the Mosfet for the printer
3.The firmware(If you don't modify it, it won't work and have a ton of issue)
---Thermistor
---PID
4.A new powerful PSU

3.- There is no source for actual fw either of the LCD or the Board...so this option is not possible at this moment

no you can not. that is a OLD version of it
command.c file-->
#elif BOARD_E180_MINI_S
char Firmware_version[9]="V1.00.41";
test files -->
E180_APP_M_V1.33.42.bin upload E180 V1.33.42 5 months ago
E180_APP_S_V1.33.42.bin upload E180 V1.33.42 5 months ago
No source for LCD display so matter what we do, can´t set heated bead on screen....
This is not a open source way to update source files...too bad
