First, thank you to all of the contributors of this forum. By spending several hours here before building my K8200, you folks provided me with a wealth of knowledge that allowed my early, fast success. Now I look forward to many evenings of continued learning, exploration, and frustration. I hope to contribute as I learn.
Searching this forum and the internet didn’t seem to answer my question. Several have concerns with the original supplied power supply. In a 20C room printing at 190c and a bed temp of 50c, my power supply runs quiet hot like everyone mentions. Rummaging around in my “spares” box, I found an IBM laptop dock power supply, output is 16v, 7.5a. I know that isn’t much of an increase in power, but it may run without as much thermal stress. Plus it’s paid for. Here’s my question to those in the know: Can the Sanguinolulu board and assorted components handle the 16volts? I imagine I may have to install a resistor in series with the cooling fan, or any 12v fan I use in the future.
Best regards,
Raymond
