Power supply failed
Power supply failed
The power supply unit on my 3D printer failed half way through a print last night. The printer wouldn't be older than six months, what's the warranty on this?

Re: Power supply failed
Thanks for the reply. Yeh it's 0V. The fuse on the AC side is blown but to get to it you have to break the warranty seal to open it up and find the problem. Just a bit of side info, I'm an electrician so it's more just the warranty info I'm after rather than fault finding.
Re: Power supply failed
Sorry,i know little about the warranty info.Maybe you can provide the order number and some pics about your test to your seller to learn more?

Re: Power supply failed
I brought it from eBay, the person I messaged was called lemon. The model is a prusa i3 pro b. I don't have any photos and I'm not too keen to plug it back in after it made a bright flash when it failed
Re: Power supply failed
They need some pictures to confirm it is the PSU problem not other parts,you can attach some photos about the broken component you mentioned before if you can't test the output with a multimeter.

Re: Power supply failed
these are the photos that i took, the meters are switched around the AC volts is reading the probes on the left and the DC volts are reading the probes on the right. The terminals are all correct.
