    I had a power supply gradually fail on an R2. I noticed that I occasionally got a bed heater failures which got increasingly more often until the R2 would no longer get the bed hot enough. I measured the voltage of the brick under load at 13.4v at failure. Although a new 24v power supply did produce a better finish, the difference was so small that I really had to look hard to find it.
