Anyone who has successfully added a hotbed to any of these printers ?
I’m planning on starting a conversion, noticed that I’ll be needing new power units as the supplied power units will not
give enough power to heat up both the bed and the extruder.
For the mElephant I’ll be looking for a 24V 20A unit.
I’m currently trying. I ordered the Kossel Heatbed Round Alu MK3 Heated Bed for Delta Rostock 3D Printer. (I have the mGiraffe)
I attached the bed to the power block as per the instructions here http://learn.makeblock.com/mgiraffe-3d-printer-kit/
There is a hot bed interface on the right side of the heating resistor interface. If you want to upgrade the hot bed, please upgrade the original 12V/5A power supply in advance. We suggest you use a 12V/10A power adapter or switched-mode power supply.
unfortunately this is not nearly enough information. I did exactly these things but no power comes through that interface and I can’t see where In software menus I can set the temperature or turn it on.
