Topic: Power to printer.

How picky is a 3D printer (the new press)

Here we have 230v 10A,, I have only one outlet in this room, my PC will also run on this line, it would be enough with the 10 A and could occur electrical noise that can tease printed.

Re: Power to printer.

It should be fine.

The printer will use less than 1A at 230V.

The power supply (that converts the 230V AC into 12V DC for the printer) can absorb a fair bit of noise that may be in the power line, e.g. from computers and fluoro lights, and is quite tolerant of line voltage variations. I wouldn't worry about this unless you have specific problems.

If you're concerned about losing prints if the power cuts out you can us a UPS, but if power outages are rare for you then there's little to no benefit of doing this.
