Is is possible to attach an electrical meter to the printer to read electricity used during print time?

Yes, you can use something like this [www.amazon.co.uk].



Large delta printer [miscsolutions.wordpress.com], E3D tool changer, Robotdigg SCARA printer, Crane Quad and Ormerod

Disclosure: I design Duet electronics and work on RepRapFirmware, [duet3d.com].

I have a [www.hobbyking.com] watt meter in the 12V line. This way, I can see what voltage I´ve set on the PSU ( 12V regular, but 14V to heat up quicker )
Also at the end of a printjob, I can see the consumed Wh.

if you want to measure everything, best way to measure the line coming in. One of the best consumer devices to do this: Kill-A-Watt. [www.p3international.com]
