Hi, I’m back again, have installed a 240 volt power supply to power hot bed, works well goes up to 110 degrees no problem, but I cannot control it in repetier, any ideas please, I used the Vertex instructions and the parts that it states to use, purchased power extender, not made.
Versatile 3D Printer/Reprap Power Expander for heatbeds, hotends or fans
This is the link to the power extender:

[quote=“deafoldgit”]This is the link to the power extender:
ebay.co.uk/itm/Versatile-3D- … 3f3948644f[/quote]It’s the right one. If you followed the instructions in the Wiki it should work.
Can you post a picture of the connections of your power extender?
Hi, cant post a picture, as I had no reply I removed the 24 volt power supply as I didn’t think it was safe as I couldn’t control the temperature
Would you mind posting a link to the wiki you referred to
tks

The link to the [color=#408040]Wiki [/color]
On the power expander, the jumper on the lower side must be on “Normal”
That’s no wiki, it says nothing about how to install the power expander or what it does. I am going to switch to 24V PSU for heatbed soon, and I need some good instructions on how to do it.
Th elnk above links directly to the PSU instructions on the wiki
Thats the german wiki
