By way of comparison, I've built a bunch of printers with 4 NEMA 17's (0.4A / 12v) and a 40W, 24v heater cartridge. I've been using 65w, 19v laptop supplies which have plenty of power. Using the heater cartridge at the reduced voltage only draws about 25w and the motors altogether draw about 20w. (As DC42 points out, the motors don't actually draw their rated current.) It really doesn't take much power to run a 3D printer - until, of course, you add a heated bed.
