Yeah, you don't need too much precision. I am not expert in soldering and I was able to easily do it. What I did was a little different from erikn: simply tin the cable well, heat up the connection points on the heated bed with the solder tip, put the cable tinned end on connection point and melt the tin. It is not difficult.

And erikn, no, I did not have to bridge the ground connection to get both of the ends to heat up. But I am not even sure if my bottom end is heating up at all or not, but I know to the top does. I will check when I go home.

Currently I am having issues with Auto Bed Leveling. Here is the link to the post I have for this issue. But I am not getting much response. I guess people are not all that interested in Auto Bed Leveling. I am posting the link here in case if any of you have done it on their i3x.

What I actually meant is that half the actual surface area of the bed did not print. Does the bottom need to get hot? Mine heats up within seconds I was surprised. Where did you place the thermistor and how did you attach it to the bed? I havnt done that yet I've just been testing steppers
