Hi Frob
I'll go with the blue diodes on the "LAVA" HBP as well.
I did a quick look at my private post's to you about the ORDuino and HBP,
couldn't find any indication on if I selected a voltage for the HBP.
I have an old Switcher Server Power Supply at the moment that has
3.3 V @ 18 Amp, 5V @ 75 AMP and 12 Volt @ 12 Amp.
Kinda Big and has never been powered up ... Was thinking of using:
5 volt for the ORDuino ( will that work ?)
12 volt for steppers, extruder, & HBP
So I guess set the LAVA HBP up to the 12 Volt 100 Watt (8.5 Amp) config,
that way about 3.5 amps are left for the steppers and extruder ... but is that enough?
I did a quick check and found someone who claimed only 20 Watts while warming up their Rep-Rap extruder heater,
and about 3 watts to extrude with a .5 mm nozzle @16 mm/S filament feed (using a well insulated hot end ... whatever that means).
