Hi guys just checking with you all. I have a Prusa i3 I noticed that the mosfet gets really HOT when using the heated bed. Melted my connecter as it was touching it. Anybody tried using the 12v from RAMPS to trigger a relay which getting the 12v from the PSU and then feed to the heated bed and hotend? I have 2 outputs available on my PSU and my PSU is 30A. Thinking of changing it for the hotend and also the heated bed. Thank you.

I think I'll just keep from using the heated bed for now before I do modification to it.

Just sharing with you guys. Not sure if it's been shared here before or not. Just got my PLA from these guys:-
Global Manufacturing Solutions No 6: Jalan 1; Kawasan Perindustrian Hi-Tech 2, Jalan Sungai Lalang, Semenyih RM64 for a spool of 1kg PLA. Quite nicely priced I think. They also have stepper motor with a nice price as well. The senior manager actually came down to see me which is a suprise. He mentioned that they are planning to manufacture their own hotend and also controller board. Anyway you can check their website website:-http://www.yumeprinter.com. Hope this helps. |

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « So far I've printed about 20m of their filament. I don't have any experience using other filament but I feel the quality is quite good. The temp would be about 210-225/230. I tried running at 190-200 but the layers are not sticking. Running at 225/230 for the first layer and 210 for the rest, I experience no stringing and the print was good (at least for me). Hope this helps. You can do a pick up even for one spool if not you can order online from their store and they will send using GD Express with a charge. I was around that area so I just drop by and get it from them. Their manager who is incharge of 3D printing division even spent about 30 minutes talking to me. |

QUOTE(eehtsitna @ Mar 3 2015, 04:51 PM) You are printing using PLA and yet you are using temperature as high as 210-225/230? Your print wont stick to your printbed? Did you use any tape or a heatbed? Guess I will bite and try a roll or 2 of their filament. In the mean time, i need to step on the brake. Been printing like crazy lately and i have almost finish 3 rolls of filament. Nope not using a heat bed or tape. Just glass bed with a layer of glue stick. The first layer do stick to the print bed (maybe due to the glue) but between layers it doesn't stick. I tested increasing 5 degrees at a time until it stick well between layers. Maybe it's due to my thermistor position like was mentioned. |
