Max wattage for extuder heater
-
A 50w hot end heater isn't such a big deal compared to trying to run a high wattage bed heater on 12v. So 12v isn't as much of a detriment in this case.
Do you already have the 50w 12v heater cartridge?
Do you already have a 24v PSU?24v has advantages but it would be more work comverting.

Why dont i finish my extruder upgrade and I'll collect everything necessary and I also need to do a firmware upgrade before i start im still on ver. 2.1
Start dialing in everything in ...so maybe rigjt after the firmware upgrade lol.
I know it printed great before the extruder change.
So logically i would think this a logical approach???

If you are using an AC mains heated bed controlled by a SSR, you could use the bed heater output to connect the extruder heater, and a different output to connect the bed SSR.
