Part 5: Pull the switch!

A project log for Thermostat for 3D Printer extruder head

This part will detail controlling the 12vdc power source to the heating element. I don't expect it to be all that complicated (relays are cheap and easy but a mosfet might be a better idea if I want to rapidly control voltage, e.g. PWM). This part is TBD.
