    Printing bed not heating robo R1. Finished doing a print and I let it cool down before I removed the print and tried to start a second print but the print bed would not heat up. I tried to do a preheat with MatterControl Slicer (it's the one I was using) but nothing. All other controls work fine and I also tried to turn it off for a while but still nothing. Is the heating element toast?

    Like a blown mosfet that controls the heatbed, if you can solder yuou can replace it yourself, if not it is much easier to buy a cheap RAMPS replacement from Amazon or China and just replace the board.

    Yep I just replace the ramps board. $10.00 is much better to me than an hour of my time soldering (i'm slow)

    If it is an R1 then get a generic RAMPS 1.4 and get back to printing.

    If it is an R1+ then convert to a generic ramps and move on
