Can I have DUAL PSU with Ramps 1.4??
March 01, 2013 05:35PM
Hi Guys,

I have 2 old AT/ATX PSUs, and each can put 10Amps, so one could run the motors and Heater on one and the Heated Bed on the other.

Is there a way to get such a set up working? Does anyone know how to wire something like that up???

I know the easy answer is "Go get a 20/30 or more Amps PSU!", but given that there are so many old CPU cases all over, it might be a nice "Recicling" project.

Thanks

Crispy

It's easy to run two power supplies. Just hook one up to each set of power supply leads. The outside two are the 5A and the inside two are 11A. Or, you could connect one to a relay for the heated bed and one to both sets of leads on your RAMPS board.
