Power Supply

Post by jkcab95 »

I received My Geeetech printer and assembled it. After completion I plugged it in and the Power supply arced and blew the fuse along with melting the neutral trace in the back of the circuit board. I then tested the unit with my bench power supply and everything works as it should. However my bench power supply only supplies 7 amps and is not capable of running the printer. The power supply that was shipped with the printer was defective and I will need a replacement. I contacted Mr. Wang from whom I purchased my Geeetech on line and he referred me here. I would greatly appreciate your attention in this matter.

The circuit board I am referring to is the power supply. I have a defective power supply and need a replacement.

I must say I am becoming quite frustrated. What more information do you require? I plugged the power supply into the wall socket and it blew the fuse on the board and melted the 110 volt neutral trace on the back of the POWER SUPPLY BOARD. The power supply was defective and I need a replacement. I used another power supply to test the machine and everything works as it should. It is not a wiring problem it is a BAD POWER SUPPLY. Please send a new POWER SUPPLY to replace the defective one I received.

I would like to ask if I could pay the difference between the 15 amp power supply and the 29 amp power supply? I think the 15 amp is a bit under powered and would like the larger supply for future additions to the printer. I would like to add a cooling fan at some point for PLA printing and possibly a second extruder for printing PVA support material. I see that the standard supply is $20 USD and the upgrade is $35.00 USD. I will gladly pay the $15.00 difference for the upgraded power supply.

Thanks,
