You can't just run any two devices that need 12V in series, unless they also need the same current.by manton - Reprappers

Re: Heatbed MK2a - Can it run on 24V? - 10 years ago
Where did you measure the 12V line? Was it at the heatbed, or at the power supply? What gauge of wire are you using to your heatbed? You can modify your Mk2a heatbed to run on 24V at the same power level as at 12V. It requires cutting one of the power traces, and attaching your wires across the cut. The bed is basically 4 resistors in parallel, and if you cut after 2 of them in parallel, theby manton - Reprappers

I think an Edmonton RUG would be a good idea. It would be nice to be able to share ideas with others.by manton - Canada, Edmonton RepRap User Group
Re: Nozzle unclogging/unjamming temperature? - 11 years ago
What I do, is start from cold, and set it to the standard extrusion temperature. As it heats up, firmly pull on the filament. Usually at some temperature it will suddenly release, and you get your plug. Sometimes it breaks though. It helps if when you were last at extrusion temperature, you fed some filament out, so that a retraction was not the last thing it did, as this can create a thinnerby manton - General
Re: Anyone in Edmonton? - 11 years ago
I have my self sourced MendelMax 1.5 up and running. I built a larger than spec version, so that when I increase the size of my heated bed, I should be able to do 12"x12"x11" prints, but I'm sure they would take way to long to finish.by manton - Canada, Edmonton RepRap User Group
