			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello all,</p><p>Thought I&#039;d share my measurements for the Solidoodle 2&#039;s current draw. I&#039;m thinking about upgrading the PSU, so it seemed like a good idea to take some measurements first. My SD2 is fully stock. All measurements taken with a Fluke 179 multimeter.</p><p>Idle (no motors): 0.19A<br />Z axis moved: 0.492A<br />X or Y moved: 1.68A. (this is the value the SD always returns to when the motors are on, if the heaters are off. It is also the baseline for future measurements.)<br />Extruder heater on: 3.69-3.72A<br />Then I turned the extruder heater off. (back to 1.68A)<br />Heated bed on: 5.46A<br />Heated bed off: 1.68A<br />All on: 7.25A.</p><p>So, the SD pulls roughly 7.25A. It is worth noting that the voltage drop across the alligator clips and Fluke 179 was 0.8v, so I saw 11.1v at the Sanguinololu terminals.</p><p>The PSU bundled with the SD is rated at 10A. I&#039;m kinda bummed it gets so hot delivering ~7A. Anyway, it looks like a PSU rated at a reputable 100w is pretty appropriate. It also means there isn&#039;t much headroom for mods on the stock PSU.</p><p>Hope this helps!</p>]]></description>
