Potential Prusa Mini Fire Risk
🕑 Added 2020-02-19 00:53:40 +0000 UTCI’m seriously confused by this but someone approved this odd design of wiring the bed connector to the bed itself.
I mean we’ve all seen the original MK3 burning up at the connector when it was soldered and they used stiff wire. They eventually upgraded new printers with softer wire and attaching the connectors via screw and washer directly to the pad.
Now I’m not sure how this is supposed to work well but the Mini has the pad being contacted by plain M3 screws and the connectors on the bottom of the bed.
Not ideal whatsoever so if you have a mini be careful. If those screws are loose or loosen it can either shut down or the resistance can get high enough to melt or burn.
I hope everyone doesn’t have any issues but this isn’t the proper way to wire anything. Not at all.
