I run my smartrap off of a 6a computer power supply with no heated bed and have had no issues. I would just connect the 6a.

Me too, but I do have a heated bed, and it is mains powered. I connect a solid state relay to where the heated bed connects on the RAMPS board and it takes almost no power to run that. The heated bed gets hot very quickly and has given no problems on all my machines. The power supply I use is a small LED supply rated at 6 Amps I have built 63 machines now that way.
Sometimes I use a bigger supply, depends on what is available at the time, however the 6A supply works fine.

Mine is the laptop style? Is yours the same? Just out of curiosity because mine was also stated as being for LED's but I've never seen LED's that have pulled 6 amps haha.

I had the heated beds especially made for me, the thermistors I supplied and they were inserted into the the silicone bed as it was being made. They have been made to fit my aluminium bed plates that measure 225 x 250mm and have an adhesive back that will stick firmly to the aluminium plate.Quote

And I'm curious on what bed you're using =)
