Things are going from bad to worse, not alone do I not have my Ender-2 to work with, but now my precious CR-10’s power supply has given up the ghost, I can’t complain because it served me very well. :hugs

My biggest problem now.. I can’t print a Feckin thing and I am mighty pissed and depressed, what the hell I am I going to do till I get one of them working, this is a despite situation to be in, I can’t be left alone without a printer, :barnieI suppose drink is my only solution and friend now.

I had just finished an overnight print and was about to start another when she just stopped and went quiet, and after rigorous testing I narrowed it down to the main power supply, I have a spare ender-2 power supply and connect that up for test purposes only, it doesn’t have enough grunt to power the CR-10.. Pity..

P.S. The only good part to come out of this is, I can play more ball with Ted… and plenty of Bourbon..

You have gotten quite the good use from your printers. Many sustained print jobs worked the machine like a red-headed step child. Sorry to hear they are down for repair. Be grateful they lasted this long.

I had mine go out within a month of getting it. I ordered a computer power supply on Amazon for $25 and used that. I probably could have just stripped one out of an old PC, but I wanted to make sure I had more than enough power.
