hi all I have the techzone gen 3 electronics and have 2 questions.

1: how much power can the extruder output (heater) handle and at what voltage does it run so I can work out what resistance the heater needs to be.

2:is there any way to connect up a heated bed to this?

The extruder heater uses 12V. A resistance of around 7 ohms is usually used.

Check out the wiki written by Adrian Bowyer on installing a heated bed on Gen 3: [reprap.org].
