Power and Ground wire order for MK2 Heatbed
I am replacing the heatbed wiring on my Mk2 and forgot to take a picture of the molex connector to the mainboard before removing the wires. I've checked the assembly instructions but unfortunately there is no indication of which side is positive and which is negative. Would someone be able to clarify please?
Best Answer by JoanTabb:
the heatbed wires can be fitted either way round... and the heatbed will work, however the LED lamp is polarity conscious. so one way the led will not light!
in this picture (Below) you can see the designation of the wires on the Mini Rambo
and in this picture you can see VCC and GND
VCC on the heatbed connects to + on the Mini Rambo
GND on the Heatbed connects to - on the Mini Rambo
