Hobby King DIY Print-rite 3D heated bed install part 2/3 (power supply) any 3D printer

In part two of this video series I will be showing you how to upgrade and setup the power supply. You need to upgraded it otherwise the printer will just keep restarting because it doesn’t have enough power. There are links to the parts down below. Before you buy double check the specs and ratings. Most of the parts I already had or got from a hardware store, so I have not tested all of them.

Pre-wire (could use something like this, but it is not recommended because the gauge of the wire isn’t well suited for higher amp draws. So if you can find something better then you can use that.) – http://www.amazon.com/AFUNTA-10pack-5-5mm-Pigtail-Female/dp/B00PZVDPTM/ref=pd_sim_421_5?ie=UTF8&dpID=41W-bk0vG6L&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=1D3GQ87BBA7Y0P7GS2VD
