Part 16 in the this series where I am building the Voron 2.4 3D printer. This is a quick video about the electronics of the heated bed after all the components are already mounted on the aluminium plate.
you get wrong moment for the flat sticker when you use the red moment on a blue plug. It is a reason you get dots with different coulors on your crimp tool. The dot should match the coulor of the dot. and atthe same time I Would use a joiner(cable holes in both ends) not a flat sticker, since its live power on that cable.
Hello and thank you for your input! I will check the wires and maybe update the crimping on them, it's a fair point that those conduct live voltage and we can never be too careful. Regarding the colors on the crimping tool I thought they were related to the thickness of the wire that is being crimped, I didn't know they are related to the color of the plug.
You're welcome! Thickness is 8mm and I would say the heat does reach the entire aluminium plate pretty quickly. I guess having a bigger heater bed would help heat up the bed more evenly but I have not had any problems with this issue until now.
I didn’t know that. So you are saying that if the bed gets somehow connected to the mains line due to a fault in the heated element having the ground wire connected to the bed plate won’t trip the breakers?
@@PorcupineOfTheConnoisseur I am saying that the heater will blow up in flames before the fuse gets to the 125 degrees Celsius and cut off the current.
