Power Consumption?

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it was the cold winter we've had but I wanted to rule out the printer as a power hog.

My electric baseboard heaters would be the lions share of my power bill unfortunately. They suck.

In retrospect, it was pretty dumb to assume it was the printer

Based on the label on the back it draws 4 amps. So 4 amps times 120 volts = 480 watts. That based on American 120 VAC service.

If you live in an area that uses 240 VAC service it would still be 480 watts.

Roughly it is the same as running five 100 watt bulbs the entire time you are printing. Of course that rating is at max draw which would be during printing. Idling would be much less along the line of about .5 amps.

if you really want to know There is a product called  Kill a watt . hey are available at home centers etc. base model is iirc the P3 and about $20  there are other brands and models as well. plug it int the wall ant then plug in whatever appliance you want to monitor. It will calculate energy use.   Basically a portable  plug in electric meter.
Just because a printer has and uses a 350 watt power supply does not mean it uses that much all the time.  heat beds and extruders and motors are constantly cycling. And if you are using a dedicated computer  you need to include that in the circuit that uses power as well.
Hope this helps.

PS the cost of electricity here in the US is about $0.12 per Kilowatt hour or 1000 watts for 1 hour  so if for sake of argument you are drawing  333 watts  and running the printer 9 hours a day the cost per day would be less than  50 cents a day.
Ok I see you are in Ontario but the above statement is still true as your peak rates are still less than $0.15 per KWH.
