I just tested between Neutral and Ground and I am getting about 675 mv which is about what is floating around in my machine. I do live in a dry climate, so maybe static charge is a big factor here
...

I don't understand how the components could have any voltage (aside from the voltage in the air) without the power supply plugged in. This whole situation baffles me. So you are saying, you want me...

The only output from the power supply was to the Ramps board, which then takes the DC voltage from the PSU and distributes it to all the other components.

But yeah, when I disconnected the DC...

You mean the DC output to the Ramps board?

To be honest, at this point, I think the voltage I am seeing (considering the background voltage is anywhere between a half of a volt, and 1 volt, that the 1.5-1.9 volts I am seeing is just induced...

So I guess the question is, what do I do next? I can't seem to pinpoint the source of the leak.

Nevermind, I think it is correct. I read some conflicting information on color codes for ac power. Just to be clear. White = neutral, Black = line, Green = ground. correct?

I am nervous, because I have heard of peoples boards frying when connected in reverse, so if it is mislabeled it will work, but if it's not it could break it right?

So, just a question I really want answered. Let's say I did wire it in reverse, I.E. I switched L and N. Wouldn't the voltage coming out of the supply charge the neutral parts to 120 volts? Or is it...

Now I am really confused. So, just to be clear, the printer still works, it is having no issues, however, every part of the system that should be well grounded, has a positive voltage between 1.5 and...

Looks like it has capped out at about 1.95 volts now. Seems directly tied to how hot I have heated the heater. 1.7volts at 180C and 1.95@210C Edit: indeed it is actually tied to how much power is...

Okay, so after using the multimeter I can confirm that my electrical socket is wired correctly so that's not the issue. I tested for voltage coming off of the printer when it is plugged in and if I...

Unfortunately that is not my problem, as I don't actually have any tubing for my filament. I am at work so I am unable to check the ground fault. I am familiar with using a multimeter. Mjolnir I was...

Yeah, the bent metal bracket that you bolt the extruder parts to (the stepper motor, heater block, fans, etc.) is what I got shocked by.

I was honestly too afraid to touch any other part of the...

I recently purchased a kit from Electron 3d, which is just a clone of the Migbot from what I hear.

After a lot of troubleshooting I was finally getting some pretty amazing prints, but tonight I...
