    Hi Guys,

    I have the Robo3d R1 and my heatbed stopped heating up on me. I researched replacing the heatbeds relay and got the Fotek ssr25 DD wired in, but the heat slows and stops around 48 celcius. My multimeter reads 12v going into the relay, but only 6 going to the heatbed... the relay is pretty warm and putting a fan on it also cools the bed off (HAHA). any insights?

    Well, now it seems the relay isn't working and I'm suspicious of its authenticity. guess ill just try to find a better one and report my findings.

    That sounds reasonable. Relays are pretty simple devices... power to coil, contacts on :)
    If that is not what you are seeing then -> bad relay.
