Posted in Using heater2 on UM2 for heatbed

Hello!

I have a self build Ultimaker 2 which is sourced from original (or at least lookalike) UM2 parts, and the rest is printed on my old UMO.

My problem is that something has happened to the power output for the heated bed on my motherboard and now i cannot heat up my bed, (the bed is tested and works).

So my question is: Is it possible to use the "heater2 terminals" (the heat output for a second head) to power my heated bed in sted of the "heated bed" terminals on the mainboard?

I don't know much about how to edit the configuration.h.

Thank you :)

      Designing for light-weight parts is becoming more important, and I’m a firm believer in the need to produce lighter weight, less over-engineered parts for the future. This is for sustainability reasons because we need to be using less raw materials and, in things like transportation, it impacts the energy usage of the product during it’s service life.
