I need a larger print area in order to print a printer

I found a 3.5mm sheet of cork at the hardware store, and after installation my entire setup works more efficiently.

The printbed doesn't lose heat as quickly as before when it was touching the printbed frame, much less heat loss due to conduction. I've also taped up the bottom of the bed to insulate it further.
