Can I solder PSU wires to RAMPS?
Hello all,
So recently I added a heat bed to my Delta and because of that the RAMPS board started smoking and I noticed that the 4 pins terminal where you connect power to is melted. Here is an image:
So I want to solder the wires to the pins on the board because I can't wait until my new terminal comes in the mail. Would this work or catch my printer on fire?
Cheers.

Ramps 1.4 I assume? They are notorious for frying high current. Also do bundle more wire together (4-5), the 18Gauge alone is not enough to handle that much current and will just heat up.
Also, as long as you know what you're doing you can solder fine.
