    What is the power consumption of R2 and C2 printers?

    Thanks!

    Mine is about
    1. 0.05 A when the power supply is plugged in but printer is off
    2. 0.50 A when the power is on but the printer isn't doing anything (idle)
    3. 2.50 A when heating bed and extruder
    Haven't measured while printing. These values were at the mains outlet (wall).

    If you do stuff at boot up there could be slightly more maximum draw, those above are averages. When heating it can range from about 130 W to about 180 W. All measurements are at the wall at 120 VAC.
