A project log for Printrbot Simple Metal - Bed upgrade

I need a larger print area in order to print a printer

The heated bed installation turned out to be more complicated, had huge overheating issues with the wiring and the Power supply.

Rright after installation I had to add additional wiring to hadle the current as well as add a fan onto the Power supply and heatsinks to the MOSFET's on the Printrboard (rev D). I think that the MOSFET for the heated bed was overheating and may be what was causing the intermittent resets during prints since installation yesterday.

After fixing all of that it seems to be printing just fine.
