    Extrusion temperature was what I was looking for :)
    Too high and PLA can do that.

    It totally varies by printer too -- I have one that does PLA at 180--sh and anther at 200-ish. None need heat on the bed although sometimes I will run it at 40c just because ...

    Let us know, the older R1 bed was rated at closer to 11amp, but frankly the newer heated beds should pull less.

    My R2 is on a power meter and never draws more than about 140W total when starting to heat both bed and extruder from cold, so that's a max of around 6A total for the whole printer. Probably <4A or so for the bed.
