Hi Guys,
I've ordered the above, and its arriving tomorrow. I've just been reading through the heated bed kit instructions, and there is a part which tells you to loop the power from HBK pcb into the UMO power input with a loop cable. From what I have read, the HBK is 24v, and UMO 19v. So i'm guessing the HBK psu is 24v, and the HBK pcb steps down to 19v to feed the UMO.
So, with dual extruders, I believe the power requirement will be too great to install it this way. So for this setup, do you just leave the loop cable unused, and keep the original PSU for the UMO, and plug the new PSU into the HBK? Keeping the power for each effectively seperated?
Hope that makes sense.
Hi Macua85,
if you want to run a dual extrusion setup it is better to indeed use both power-supply's. The new HBK powersupply will be used over spec if you use both heaters and the bed all at once.
The hbk powersupply's are very well build so they might just make it. But i would NOT recommend it
so you figured out the correct way to do it on your own! i hope you enjoy the HBK!

I sent an email to Martijn to answer your question as he is an expert on the HBK.
