Topic: Power to printer turning on and off

Hi,
I am trying to print and every time I set the print bed and extruder to heat, the power to the printer starts to turn on and off. A few days ago I tried to print and everything was working fine but ABS was not sticking to the print bed. I have not changed anything, but adjusted the print bed.
Thanks
Fred

Re: Power to printer turning on and off

could be a bad power supply or connection from the power supply to the main board on the back of the printer.

try wiggling the plug to the brick(power supply) http://www.soliforum.com/topic/2026/sol … d-working/

Check the screw terminal where the power cord connects to the electronics and make sure the cord is still taped down.  I've had the screw terminal melt twice because a wire came loose and increased the resistance.
