Topic: Nichrome Ohms and Heat
I am not an electrician, nor have I ever played one on TV...
I was wondering. With the glass-bed modification, it was mentioned that you needed to end up with 3 Ohms of resistance when all of your nichrome wire was squiggled throughout the bottom of the glass.
I am coming in at about 3.4 Ohms, and I am having issues getting the glass hot enough.
My questions are:
* Would more (or less) ohms create more heat?
* How many ohms can the solidoodle hardware handle? (given that it was originally a 3 Ohm resister)
Thanks!
