Hi all,

I was wondering if I could potentially run two Prusa Mendel printers from one mains voltage power supply that is listed in the standard build instructions?

Since I am going to be building a production line of eight Prusa Mendels, I'd like to shave some costs off.

Many thanks for any help!

Boris.

think it may be false economy Boris you'll really be pushing the standard PSU with 2 machines and also create a single point failure that kills 2 machines . Not ideal for manufacturing

Not with the standard PSU's used I wouldn't have thought if you specified a PSU with a greater capacity then you could but then you might as well give each machine it's own supply.
