Azteeg X3 Pro 24V input?
July 24, 2015 12:08PM
I'm about to upgrade my Rostock MAX v2 to handle 3 extruders/hotends. Part of the upgrade is to replace the RAMBo with an Azteeg X3 Pro. The original 12V PSU on the Rosotck is also weak, and I'm thinking up upgrading it to a 24V PSU as well. The Azteeg is advertised as allowing a 12V-24V input. Has anyone actually run 24V through an Azteeg X3 Pro? Are there any issues with doing this that I should watch out for?

just that you also need 24v everything

hotend heaters (can get away with pwm limit to 1/4 power, but not recomended)
heated beds, 24v need
and fans! 12v fans tends to burn out at 24v.

Steppers are fine. Pololu modules are fine.
Controller is fine, designed for it.

If you have any high tech endstops, such as inductive sensors, power to them will need checking.
