Heated bed - quick question
-
Hi all - wanted to ask for a quick bit of advice about my heated bed.
I am (for the moment) using a Geeetech superplate which can be set for either 12v/24v with a quick solder job. I have a 24v mean well sp-320-24 power supply.
I need to know whether to set the heatbed for 12 or 24v
I have read through 'choosing a bed heater' on the wiki, but I don't understand it all very well and have not come to any conclusions.
Can someone please advise which voltage I should set on the bed please?
-
because you have a 24V PSU you should go with the 24V, otherwise your Bed will break. Also the amps will cut in half. which is definitely better.
-
@Harrynice it should be set to the same as your Vin if you are using the onboard Bed mosfets
-
If you have 24v power supply, then of corse heated bed has to be set to 24v also.
It will be good to know how powerful your heater is? -
Thanks all, I shall set it to 24v.
This is the bed I am using at the moment, but I am about to start building a hypercube evolution so will need a 300x300mm bed soon.
Anyone have any recommendations for a good one?
