      I think I read somewhere that you should plug your bed heater into the Vout on the duet board. Is this true? My bed has not been heating up fast enaugh on the 'Out' ports on the board

        @dima the time it takes to heat up depends on the size of your bed and heater etc have you carried out a PID on your bed?

          @jumpedwithbothfeet I don't remember carrying out a PID tune.
          In this case, what would the purpose of Vout be?

            @dima, OUT 0 power in is the power supplied to your board to power the bed heater and OUT 0 is the supply to your actual heater this allows you to power the bed with a different PSU than you use to power the main board.

            I don't know what heater your using, but if you haven`t PID tuned the bed already and you haven't had any other issues but heating time, I would do this next.

              This calculator will give you a good idea of the heat up time based on starting temperature, target temperature and bed construction.
