Okay no problem, so I’m unfortunately I’m on a time schedule - but I’ll place an order for a mean well power supply - but in the meantime, I was previously using a different laptop charger for my original Ardunio circuit board, but because it’s my laptop charger as well - I’m less inclined to use that.
I also have this power supply
Would either of these work?

Hey Frederick,
Thanks so much for getting back to me. I’ve attached a photo below or the wires, and I’ve also zoomed in where it says an output of 19.5V - if I’m completely wrong on this, let me know!
Hi,
So I’m very new to the wiring side of 3D printing. I just received the duet 2 Ethernet board and I am currently setting everything up. The power supply I was using for my other board was a regular laptop charger, a DC 19.5V and I don’t have the recommended Mean well power supply. So I cut into the the laptop charger and there’s 3 wires, the live, neutral and ground - but I don’t need the neutral - so would it be okay if I wrapped it up in insulation tape?
I know this is a very basic question, but I’m terrified of blowing the board!
Thanks!
Hi, I'm currently working on a 3D printing project where I'm hacking a 3D printer to utilise 4 axes, so an x,y,z and a rotatory axis, therefore I would need 5 motors including one to run my extruder. I've been previously trying to re-programme the Marlin firmware to add and enable an open port on my circuit board - but I'm getting nowhere.
So I've decided to move to a Duet board where the RepRap firmware is a lot more customisable! I know I'll need to make a lot of changes, like the stepper motors etc, but I'm a bit confused on what Duet board to get.
