-Nearly half of the of the heat is lost by infrared heat radiation. Therefore an aluminum foil at the bottom is more effective than 6mm of kork. To reduce the heatloss even more combine them.

+It can be seen with these curves that increasing the voltage on the heat-bed increases the speed and max temperature. This can be achieved by 3 measures:
-  * Use thicker wires between HB and board and board and power suplly.(see the optimization chapter below)
+  * Use thicker wires between heat-bed and the board, and board and power supply (see the optimization chapter below).
-  * Solder the wires directly onto the heatbed (some soldering practice needed)

-  * increse the voltage of the power suplly. This might be risky and is only recomended if you have [[reprap:anet:a8:replace_connectors|replaced the orignal connectors]]. The power suplly might exeed its limits, therefore a power suplly with 30A at least is recomended by some users if 14V is used. Thoretically the arduino in the Anet board can go up to 18V but only 12V is recomended for arduinos. So it should be possible but it is your own risk.
