Heatbed

Reprap.me specs (where you can buy the bed) are slightly different :

[quote]Resistance at 12 Volt setting is between 1.0 and 1.25 Ohm (115~144 Watt)
Resistance at 24 Volt setting is between 4.0 and 5.0 Ohm (144 ~115 Watt)
110 degrees Celsius possible for both 12 Volt and 24 Volt
Running 24 Volt on the 12 Volt terminals will heatup the heatbed to 100 degree in only 2 minutes (will also consume up to 576 Watts!!)[/quote]

Hence my Amp values :wink:

Yea, you was to fast with the reply :slight_smile:

Can i also use this relay as a power expander?

Yes You can! :wink:

It is actually a ā€œpower expanderā€ ā€¦

cheers,

Is there some one that have a spare power expander?
Im still looking for one

You can buy them pre-made on http://www.reprap.me.

hello,

ive now mounted my heatbed in the middle of the alu plate. now the startposition of the printhead needs to be moved. but i donā€™t know how to do it.

is ther someone that can help me?

Hello,

Iā€™m new here, just bought the K8400.
Iā€™ve built it together now but was indeed wondering how to get the heated bed in.

Iā€™ve ordered a normal stock DC relay + heated bed mk3 + 24V DC power source. I think that would work out connect the + and - from the pcba to the relay, relay then connects 24V to the heat bed.

But there remains a key quesion for me:
The heatbed connection on the PCBA has a 4 pins connector, does anybody know what the different outputs of the pins are? (especially what the switched + and switched - are to connect the relay?

Thank you very much.

greetings
Coen

The pins on the PCB are the same, you have 2x + and 2x -.
