PSU for Heated Bed

[quote=“ichbinsnur”]Okay, you might be right with the pricing, if you get “cheap” parts.
But i think you should consider that you will need special wiring for the mains part.
Normal equipment wiring (hairdryer cord or such) will not withstand the constant movements.
Thus it would lead to faulty insulation over time. No good idea …
And it would have to be very carefully routed too. (cable chain for instance)[/quote]

“A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” - Leonardo Da Vinci

These parts aren’t cheap, but this works out cheaper because of the lack of a power supply. Those Keenovo heaters are the ones most people use, just 12V ones. There is nothing special required for the wiring - just use electrician’s wire instead. In fact, a hairdryer has a cable that is very resistant to fraying (people knotting and twisting the wire all the time) so that may be the perfect candidate. The wire simply needs 190mm of slack and this will bend without damage once installed.

Oops, i was mislead a bit.
I see we are talking about the vertex. I had the K8200 in mind, with it’s moving bed…

And, sorry, i didn’t want to offend you, i just wanted to make the risks clear.
Especially for those who might rebuild such thing and are not familliar with mains voltage circuitry.

No worries. People will just need to apply some common sense to this kind of thing.

You are probably right, but that is what lack often …
I have seen people that “fixed” a broken electric hand dill cable by replacing it with solid core installation cable…
