Hello RepRappers, (almost feel like dropping a sick beat),
I have had my A8 Clone for 4 years and printed hundreds of hours. Finally, I believe I somehow fried my power supply. Hopefully my thoroughness (longwindedness) anticipates questions more than it scares away readers...
Specs:
- Alunar M508 Kit
- AC 110/220V (set to US 110V)
- DC 12V
- Bed power supplied by MOSFET
- 12V heating element
