problem with ATX
October 16, 2013 05:04PM
My ATX is a Kraun with 12v1 8A and 12v2 12A, is connected to a Prusa i3 with ramps 1.4.
Yesterday when i start printing the calibration cube for the first time the PSU shut down.
This happend also if i set 230° C on the extruder and 110° C on the heated bed.

I thought it was because there was only one wire per hole in the ramps, so now i have put two wires in the 11A hole (two in the positive two in the negative) but when i move the axis pronterface says:

Can't write to printer (disconnected?) (SerialException): Write timeout
Can't write to printer (disconnected?) (SerialException): Write timeout
Can't write to printer (disconnected?) (SerialException): Write timeout
Can't write to printer (disconnected?) (SerialException): Write timeout
Disconnecting after 4 failed writes.
Disconnected.
Connecting...
Could not connect to COM6 at baudrate 115200:
Serial error: could not open port COM6: [Error 2]

and the printer disconnect from the pc,if i pull out again the usb cable and then plug in, the printer connect again.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you

Your heated bed is probably drawing more than 12A. I've seen this happen quite a bit.

BTW: Those PTC fuses are horribly inaccurate. They will sometimes trip below 11A, and sometimes above it.
