Topic: Need Help with Build Plate Heating/Power issues
Hey all, have something of a strange problem with my printer.
For the sake of brevity, my main machine is an Ultimaker with a RAMPS 1.4 controller, running off of a 12v 30amp LED Strip style PSU.
I've recently installed the heated build plate, checked all connections, made sure the solder was good and clean on the pads to connect the heater, but with my Power Supply it takes about 15 - 20 minuets to heat up to 50c, but going over that is a no go.
Then the recent problem of power just dropping to either heaters causes the machine to stop while printing and go into thermal runaway. I've tested the PSU and it does put out the 12v 30amps, so what else could be the cause? I've switched out RAMPS boards a few times now, as well as Arduinos just to cover my basis.
