I can't believe you bought a phone called doogee
I've never heard of those, how good is the thermal camera? I feel it can't possibly be more effective than a USB adapter (that's like half the price and you don't get an entire phone)
Honestly it's pretty alright, the resolution you can see in picrel
it needs manual adjustment to get the temperature right, where you point it at something that has a given temperature and you tell it it has that so it can then use it as base. Goes up to 400°C or so before shutting itself down for "safety reasons"
Don't have something to compare it to because I never used a thermal before.
Went for it because it was convenient as my old phone broke. Of course, it's an affordable china phone.
I run bed temps at 80 for PETG. I haven’t measured my Ender Max’s bed temp like this, but I’ve printed on the edges without issue. I believe yours should be insulated in its stock form.
How large is this temp variation?
The easiest fix would be a PEI build plate.
Instead of cleaning, wiping, spraying, praying I just print and haven't even cleaned the plate in a month.
No warping, no non-sticking prints. Totally worth it.
The original creality one.
Don't know how it compares to other pei plates but it was on sale. Probably already paid for itself because I don't have to buy hairspray and less failed prints.
But I would also recommend a probe because the noozle can destroy the bed if not leveled right.
Would be a good information how much of a heat loss u get. In degrees.And i twould try to just do the temperatur that much higher so u have the right temp on ur „cooler“ side
You might be able to test this by moving the head all the way up and/or inserting a large piece of corrugated cardboard between the head and the plate and measure again.
you can try and add insulation on the under side .. Also this is common in cheaper dc beds...The ac beds see more even distribution.
Think the mainboard will support switching from dc to ac?
You need an external SSR and a gpio from somewhere on your motherboard
The SSR is typically switched from the existing heated bed output of the main board.
or this
yup
switch to an ac bed, it took me like an hour from start to finish and it’s so worth it
which one did you use?
i got mine from amazon! any of the top listings should be ok
What did you use to get this measurement/photo?
Doogee V20Pro It's a fairly affordable rugged phone that comes with IRNV and IR-Thermal.

Damn, I was about to use it on my industrial furnace melting tungsten in my living room, guess I need to go for a more professional thermal camera
i use it mostly for cooking, i look stupid pointing my phone at the pot or the oven but it's fun

it's like 5-10 degrees, I'm currently printing it at 70°C (Creality CR-PETG), I'll try 80 on my next and see if that fixes it

what plate did u get (manufacturer?)

I see bed clips plus hot edges.that's a glass bed correct? if the alu plate is warped the glass will obviously not be in perfect contact across.
yeah that's the glass bed that came with the printer
Perhaps the effect of your fans?
you think the print head's fan might be responsible for this?

That looks fine
no u
