I have about (9) free 5" X 4" X 1.25" heaters available for projects. They are 120V, 120W, consisting of a silicone mat heater sandwiched between 2 aluminum finned heat sinks. 4 clips hold the assembly together, so easily taken apart. These might be useful as-is or disassembled for the heat sinks or mat heater separately. Reply with any interest.

I'll drop a few off for the boneyard this weekend, and put your name on one, David.

How “Hot” are we talking?

Warm a slice of toast, Soften lead for de-soldering projects, melt glass, ???

It was designed to warm ATM safes in the winter by convection. With the aluminum heat sinks in place, it will get way to hot to pick up in about 90 seconds. Think about picking up a 100w light bulb after it's been on for a bit. It will certainly melt wax, or warm a liquid. Solder, probably not, But would make a good 120V heater for a 3D printer bed, I'd bet.

Mike, I plan on dropping them off tonight after work. I'll put your name on one. In case 120W wasn't enough for someone, I found a 400W one that's the same basic form factor, but roughly twice the length that I will drop off also.
