Choosing a suitable power supply
-
@snoozer im gonna use a spare e3d v6.1 i think...the ones used on the original prusa...got a spare one hehe
After much thought and some more research, i decided to go 24v instead of mains (220v).
For both safety and the simplicity of everything.
The RSP-500-24 will do just fine, as i found that is used on the lulzbot taz 6wich used a silicone heated bed rated at 360w.
The heated bed will probably be the same as the taz 6.Difference in price from one way to the other is around 25€ and i much prefer paying a bit extra for the simplicity of the system.
Tks everyone for the input on the matter.

After much reading and a bunch of good an plausible advice I also give a silicone heater under a substantial aluminium plate a go. I stay with 230 AC, I am qualified electrician (in a former life) so no worries about mains. Did you order the V-Core including the printed parts ? the hotend mount is designed for a v6 I think. I have spend all last WE to make a Titan Aero mount, only done it in PLA with little infill as test. Still don't have the kit to put it on actually. I like to have it detachable and keep the belt tensioner attached. I split the mount. Intend to be able to manually change between hotends and also service it easy. Maybe able to use a laser as well.......... that's for future.

I did a rework of this mount, in Fusion 360: E3D V6 Hinged Extruder Bracket & Clamp for my little Monoprice Select v2. It's pretty kludgy so I didn't post my rework, but I have all the wires on plugs and can change the v6 clone on it in about 30 seconds. (Went with genuine v6 Gold for my CR-10S)
Kinda cool to have a hinge.
@pedromelim - Good luck with your project, keep us posted!
