Two Power Supplies?

Two Power Supplies?
April 27, 2016 04:27PM
Hey Everyone,

Please excuse my question if it seems a bit elementary but I figured I'd rather be safe than sorry. I'm looking at using a second power supply (Xbox 360 PSU) in order to manage my heat bed.

My question is this: Is using a second power supply as simple as just connecting that power supply to the main power input on the RAMPS 1.4 board along with the other PSU? I've seen plenty of tutorials on connecting the 360 PSU to the RAMPS board but it's always added there by itself as opposed to with another supply connected already.

Thanks in advance for any help!

On a ramp, yes you can just connect it to the headed bed power plugs (12v 11amp connections)
It will only power the heated bed.
