A bad connector can burn with 25 Watt just as with 50 Watt. I have enough good connectors to handle that (some of my modell-airplaine motors are connected with 800 Watt, and this is nothing special there ;-))
There are 3 main reasons for me to use the 50 Watt heating cartridges:
- the E3D design will have more power loss definitely
- i do not want to print leisurely daydreaming, especially with the 0.5 nozzle i want to have proper throughput
- meantime i bought me more E3D-clones, so i have 5 hotends i can easy and fast change them complete like i need, with different nozzles premounted
i just wont a short answer from Velleman-Support please:
Are the heater-outputs and the powersupply of the Vertex strong enough to deliver that apr. 50 Watt additional Power ?
(each 25 Watts more)
It’s clear that there is no problem to ad more power to the heater-outputs on the ‘mainboard’ by adding parallel MOS-Fets and/ or to ad another power-supply, but should the original one not have a reserve ?
I need to come forth quickly, need 180 ABS-parts with 155x93x12 mm soon …
