recent Ormerod on RS - any changes / upgrade ?
January 14, 2014 07:40AM
Hi all,

I might getting an Ormerod from RS which will be ship 6th-Jan , or 15th-Jan. ( I don't know which batch but I'm still waiting for the shipment since 15th Dec. ) May I know the included power supply still a PC PSU ? or upgraded to more reliable one ? Is it possible to print ABS using the included PC PSU successfully ?

I'm having no problem printing ABS on mine (I have the Alpine ATX PSU), I checked my ambient temperature this morning and it's around 15°C with the room heating turned off and the bed does make it to a reported 100 (I have the new firmware with updated thermistor betas, so this reported temperature is likely to be near the truth, I'll be getting an IR thermometer later for peace of mind though). I've turned on the room heating to see if the downdraft makes prints curl, and if the higher ambient temperature stresses the PSU (currently at 21°C and no issues, it's still printing ABS happily).
