We are currently in the same position, currently setting up the printer and the power supply is tripping the electric.
So we are thinking of sourcing an alternative power supply, have you resolved the issue @Norro or has anyone else had a similar issues.
And if you have replaced the supply do you have a link to a suitable one ?
Cheers Oly
Small update.
Saw this to late, we bought a general psu and used that.
I’d recommend getting in touch with tgreer as he has the contacts with lulzbot. I know one of these machines was listed as “probably working” but it’s annoying that (at least) two don’t work.
I can certifiably confirm with power supplies, unrelated to this giveaway, that a person can definitely tell when they’ve accidentally set the PSU voltage selector to 110v as it can make an amazing bang and white/blue flash as the fuse decides to get very excited and explodes. In case anyone wasn’t certain whether this was the situation with their power supply, this is typically the behavior that happens.
The printer we received works but is producing poor quality prints - it appears to have been treated badly by the courier unfortunately, so we’re in the process of trying to realign everything. We’re also having great difficulty getting prints to stick to the bed, though we’re starting to suspect that’s to do with calibration of the temperature sensors.
Be careful also as the power switch on the front left of the printer is at 240V and on ours at least has exposed contacts. We’ve bypassed this switch on ours.
Overall though, we’re starting to get some working prints out of ours, so thank you again!
Throwing Farset Labs into the hat; we had an ultimaker that was “upgraded” by an industrious member who then legged it with many parts missing, and the only semi communal printer we have is my personal A8 that needs almost constant adjustment/fixing and is impossible for non experts to use
Our only currently working 3D printer is a member loan Prusa , with fully fitted acrylic carpet, it would be nice to offer members a better quality printer with decent build volume
If you feel we are eligible, I’d like to throw our hat into the ring too.
