Gt2560 Burning out

I have a GT2560 Board and after a print I let it cool down. It cooled down fine. When I went to start my next print the bed would not heat up, I checked the Board and this is what it looked like! Why would This happen to my Board and connectors?? Is the Heat bed faulty or the board? I will need it ...

Re: Extruders loosing alignment on printing

But it happens late in the print, like an hour or so in, would that still be not enough voltage? The steppers are cool and everything is moving smoothly but my heat bed and extruder would be running around 10-20 degrees below the target

Re: Extruders loosing alignment on printing

The Y belt wouldn't be too tight I don't believe but the power may not be high enough, The bed and extruder can't hold a temperature while printing and I am believing it is the power supply, What do I have to do to connect a computer power supply to the GT2560? can I just get a computer power supply ...

Re: Z-axis unreliable zeroing

It's probably your extruder head holder warping. It's an issue with these as they are printed in pla and warp in the heat. Change out the holder and you may be okay.

Extruders loosing alignment on printing

On my first print the base layers go okay but then as the printer progresses it looses a step and misalignes the y axis and makes it print on nothing. It looks to have skipped 1cm? Why is this?
