12V PSU connection, using only one V0

Hi,

I've currently ordered a printer from MixShop and the PSU isn't working well.
One V0 isn't working, and one is working fine. I've got two sets of V0 / V12.

Can I plug two cables on the same V0 (which is working) and cables in two V12 on two differents plugs?

all ground (0v) will be connected to the same point in the psu. It will be fine to use a different one

Actually, I've made a mistake. Both V0 were working fine, it is one V12 that isn't working.

Would wiring both wires through a single V12 damage the PSU?

it depends on the psu. technically it should shut down if you draw too much current but there are a lot of supplies out there that dont do what they should.

what does the sticker on your psu say about 12v?

Well, there are not really any sticker concerning the brand, only the back wiring diagram (AC [G N L], 2X V- and 2X V+)

I've connected both wires on the same V+ and it seems to work fine. The printer is now able to move.
