Hi guys
I am very new to 3D printing
I bought heat bed which said 24V by mistake.
my power was in 12V.

Is there any way to use it ??
or just give up??

Thanks!!

12v into a 24v bed will take for ever to heat up (and probably never get over 60c)

You can't convert a 24v heated bed to 12v unless it was deigned to do so.

You can still use it, if you buy a 24v power supply and a external mosfet.

It might be worth looking at upgrading your entire system to 24v. Depends what it is and how much work is involved....
