Power Supply just died
Anyone have their power supply fail on them? The case got hot and the fuse blew. I replaced with another fuse and it blew that one as well. My printer had been running great for a long time. Today I just tried printing PETG, and was running bed at 85 deg and hot end at 255. I never ran it this hot before, but the printer should be able to handle this no problem.
Super frustrating, I cant even find a good way to contact prusa for support.

so do I have a bad supply, or was I overloading it? I wouldnt think that running it that hard should cause this issue.
RE: Power Supply just died
Prusa support is sending me a new supply. Hopefully the one I had was just bad, and I never pushed it just printing PLA. As soon as I started with PETG, using much higher temps, it failed. It didnt fail catastrophically thank god, it just popped. Replacement fuses pop too. Maybe in a few weeks I will get the replacement from prusa.

Mean Well makes a dandy 350 watt PSU to tide you over until the replacement arrives.
It is about $33 on Amazon.

Yes I actually bought one. I will move it to my FT-5 once I get the replacement. My FT-5 has 120vac heated bed so its draw will be nothing.
Thanks

I have one with the old style and I am replacing it. I like the replaceable power panic cable.

I wish there were a way to add Power Panic to the Mean Well. Someone needs to sell an adapter board...

Ironically, I have my original power panic boards installed, but don't use power panic. On one machine, I didn't even bother hooking it back up. A UPS takes care of brief power fails and generator power is only 30 seconds away.

Thant you!
Well there goes my excuse for not swapping in the Mean Well...

FT-5 is a folgertech larger format printer, does 300x300x400mm.. its a beast and requires a lot of tweaking unlike the prusa, that just works all the time.
