Re: Workbench question

NO.....Dont do that, you will fry your motherboard if it can't handle the 24V.  Make sure your parts are rated for 24V before you switch anything.

On solidoodle I print ABS at 205 for first layer and 195-200 for the rest of the layers. The temperature reported is not the exact temperature the filament is at.

Re: Workbench question

The extruder should be able to reach 215 without a problem. If it is unable to reach 215 you may need to run a PID autotune by running M303 S215.

The switch on the power supply is for the input voltage (120/240), not the output.
