16A minimum, but honestly if you aren't putting 20A through that bed you aren't getting much use out of it for the plastics that it helps

2017-09-16 20:40:28 UTC  

depends, you have 12v and 24v pritners, most are 12v

2017-09-16 20:40:54 UTC  

Ah ok. Well shit, I have a ton of 12v 20A PSUs from laptops

2017-09-16 20:40:58 UTC  

all the beds can run on either and i would actually recommend getting a 24v supply to run the bed and maybe just give it its own controller instead of having the 3d printer control that

2017-09-16 20:41:10 UTC  

you'll get same power with less current

2017-09-16 20:41:48 UTC  

if you use a psu for just the heat bed, make _absolutely sure_ it can shit out absolute minimum 16A indefinitely, and you really want 20A

2017-09-16 20:42:00 UTC  

if you're gonna use it for the whole printer, 25A-30A

2017-09-16 20:42:05 UTC  

OK

2017-09-16 20:42:10 UTC  

a lot of people use gaymurr psus for this

2017-09-16 20:42:30 UTC  

Not all materials require a heatbed so. Maybe a separate PSU is in order

2017-09-16 20:42:34 UTC  

since they all have multiple super high current 12v rails and big chunky connectors meant to handle lots of current

2017-09-16 20:42:53 UTC  

most require a heat bed

2017-09-16 20:43:00 UTC  

you're limited to PLA and PVA without one

2017-09-16 20:43:07 UTC  

Yea, and PLA is shit

2017-09-16 20:43:24 UTC  

it's got pretty good wear resistance but for most applications i'd rather use abs or nylon, yeah

2017-09-16 20:44:06 UTC  

it's also got some surprisingly good chemical resistance, better than abs at least

2017-09-16 20:44:24 UTC  

gonna have a hard time attacking pla with any solvents normal people will have on hand

2017-09-16 20:44:54 UTC  

Acetone smooths out PLA if I remember right, the fumes at least

2017-09-16 20:45:01 UTC  

pla ighnores acetone

2017-09-16 20:45:05 UTC  

acetone smooths out abs though

2017-09-16 20:45:12 UTC  

Ok. My bad

2017-09-16 20:45:23 UTC  

well, ignores, if you let it soak in acetone it will very very slowly attack it

2017-09-16 20:45:35 UTC  

but you'll see it soften and delaminate, not dissolve smooth

2017-09-16 20:45:59 UTC  

it just kinda goes rubbery and the bonds between layers break

2017-09-16 20:46:17 UTC  

ah

2017-09-16 21:20:35 UTC  

On the waiting list for the delta.

2017-09-16 21:23:34 UTC  

what are some cool chink shit musical instruments

2017-09-16 21:24:31 UTC  

apart from melodica

2017-09-16 21:32:03 UTC  

how do you look at your recently viewed items on gearbest

2017-09-16 21:37:10 UTC  

i swear, sometimes i think i'm actually retarded

2017-09-16 21:39:31 UTC  

find it?

2017-09-16 21:40:25 UTC

2017-09-16 22:00:58 UTC

2017-09-16 22:01:42 UTC  

ukelele and kazoo so i can do bitches aint shit played at 300% speed

2017-09-16 22:15:07 UTC  

i saw that

2017-09-16 22:15:13 UTC
