    So I am relocating the printers (finally) and after moving three of them out there, I turned on the R1's too see if all was good and the power supply fogged the workshop with the magic (stinky) white smoke :(
    Ah well, that was an original supply from the machine that was originally a beta -- it had some mileage on it.

    Ordered the 400w upgrade. https://www.amazon.com/KNACRO-Power-Supply-Switch-Converter/dp/B01HEVGYWK

    I may dissect this old one later when everything else is done and see about fixing it (likely just the filter caps or the MOVs). For the price ... I may not. A spare would be handy though :) We scavenged the last spare for another project and forgot to restock.

    Not the capacitors or the MOVs... transformers let go. Oh well, not fiddling with those.

    Even better. Should be a drop-in replacement size-wise.

    One I got is : 8.42 inch x 4.5 inch x 2 inch
    the one you listed is: 8.9 x 4.9 x 2.2 inches

    Probably close enough. there is a little extra room about mine on the sides
