Heat bed not getting hot enough
Posted: Wed Sep 18, 2013 10:05 pm
Hello I have a PCB heatbed on my RepRap Prusa Mendel with RAMBo board. I am using repetier firmware with Repetier-Host software.
For some reason my heat bed cannot heat above 95 degrees Celsius. I set it to heat to 115 C and it heats up until it eventually hovers around 94.7 degrees. If I set the temp to 94C, then it will heat to 94, then it cannot maintain that temperature and drops below 92 in a matter of seconds. I am using a 400W Server PSU so I don't think that should be the problem. My heatbed is connected to the RAMBo board with 20AWG stranded wire and the wire does not seem to be overloaded (cool to the touch).
Is there a software setting for the amount of current supplied to the heatbed?
