Open source designs, and "Why does it only use 60W?"
Hello all,
I was particularly fascinated by the specification of the OneUp that said it only uses a 60W laptop power supply, compared to the 150W+ "brick" power supply that has the fan constantly running on my RepRap. I was wondering what modifications (apart from size) were made to the printer in order to keep the power consumption down, compared to the RepRap. In particular, I was wondering about the heating cartridge type and power consumption.
Of course, these questions would be quickly answered by looking at the open source plans, but even though it says on the Kickstarter page "Open source plans will be released upon successful funding..." I can't find them. I've looked at the Kickstarter pages for a link, and also on the QU-BD website, and come up with nil.
So have the plans been released, and if they have, where do I find them? I suspect all my questions about power consumption of components will be quickly answered by perusing the plans.
Many thanks!
Shane.
