[Chiuso] Replacement PSU question  

Re: Replacement PSU question

My psu just went out, and from reading here I should save myself the trouble and just get a nice mean well PSU. I'm a little new to all this, and just wanted to be sure I understood a few things before I move forward. First, the extra wattage is just extra capacity and won't harm my printer, correct? Second, swapping out the power panic board is easy? Does anyone have any instructions on how to do this so I can be sure I"m doing it right?

Thanks!

Extra wattage won't harm the printer, that and the fact that the meanwell is does not offer PFC, just means you are wasting power.

The power panic board has a puny wire connecting to one of the 24V outputs, two large wires that loop the AC input through itself, and then of course the two wires going to the RAMBO. You will simply need to wire these in the same manner as the original Prusa is wired. You should not need instructions to do this, but rather it should be self-evident. If you have any doubts about doing this without instructions, please, do not attempt.

I think my PSU failed after 3-4 months. Anybody had to replace one.
