Hi,
I'm new to 3d printing and got one for Christmas and finally got it put together and almost finished with all the testing and calibrating but having an issue with the hotbed. When I turn everything on and try to turn the hotbed on it doesn't respond at all. I have checked the 12v power coming out of the RAMPS and there is none to the hotbed. When I measure voltage of the thermoresistor of the hotbed it reads about 5v but in the repetier host software it doesn't show a reading for room temp on the hotbed like it does for the extruder nozzle. I am thinking this means that the thermoresistor isn't working and needs replaced? Before I buy a new hotbed I am hoping someone can help me diagnose the issue before I spend the money for a new one.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Nick
