So up until now I was printing without connecting the heat bed since it wasn't working but I found a bad solder connection and after fixing it the heat bed worked and everything heated up right and was working. Then I started a print and after a while everything just shutdown. still had power to the board (at 12V) and was still connected but nothing was working. I tried restarting it and after a few minutes it started printing from the beginning again so I stopped it.
I cleaned up the bed and restarted the print and same thing it shut down after a while. Looks like everything is fine if I don't turn the heated bed on but as soon as I do after it gets between 50-60 degrees everything stops. I have to wait a little while and disconnect everything then it starts working again if I don't use the heated bed. I tired just the heated bed alone and same thing it stops getting power to everything I have connected, hot end, motors, fans, heated bed. I removed the fans but same thing.
The print keeps going meaning I can see it continue to progress in pronterface so it still thinks it's pringing just that for whatever reason when the heat bed gets to a certain temp or something everything stops :S
I can print small things without the heat bed on but as I've quickly learned larger things warp and eventually pull off the bed so I'm definitly going to need a working heated bed if I want to print anything "good".
I haven't used it but I have a temperature switch (40C Normal Close NC Thermostat Temperature Switch Bimetal KSD9700) would connecting that help? I assume I should probably add a fuse if I do put it in?
Thanks,
Marc
