Hi.

I had purchase
1. 12V 40W Ceramic Cartridge Heater for 3D Printer Heating Element
2. 24V MK2a FR-4 Heated Bed for 3D Printer
3. STC 1000 (12V)

I plan to heat and control my heating source (no 1 OR no. 2) using STC1000 (no.3)
Can this work?Anyone can advice on wiring?

Appreciate for the helps!

 

Does your STC1000 have any documentation? This diagram suggests 110V. The 12V version may be similar.
If your supply is 12V then I would start with the 12V heater bed.

Hi.Thanks for your feedback.
yes,I do have diagram.
Exactly like your attached photo.
Differences only main supply is 12v dc

Therefore Im using adapter with output 12v dc connect to my stc1000 power supply.

If i just want to heat a copper wire at certain temperature,and maintain the temperature,can you advice if my wiring diagram below can work?
Using same main power supply?
Please advice for better wiring

Thank you in advance

 

Can your 12V supply safely output the current needed into the "copper wire?" Why has 40W ceramic heater changed into a copper wire. The heater would need 3 - 4 A from the supply. I can not even begin to guess how much the copper wire is going to need.

Also, the sensor needs to be placed so it adequately measured the temperature of the heating element.

At meantime,my heatbed not arrive yet.Since I need urgentlg,temporarily I plan to use a copper wire since it can act as good conductor.Hmm,meaning I cant simply replace to a copper wire without knowing how much ampere it needed from power supply?
Sorry,my technical knowledge is shallow on this.

 

The more you know about how it should react the better chance to not have something go wrong or to break something.

Not knowing many details, I can not really advise on the copper wire heater replacement. Be sure to keep currents below 10A so as to not damage the stc1000. And, make sure the copper wire and insulation can withstand the current and resulting heat.

 

Thanks for your reply.

Now,I manage to get 24v 50w heat plate.Find attached.

So my next question is, can I share power supply to my controller with my heater?
(Attached is my spec of power supply to controller)

What is the wiring suppose to be?
Im very confuse about the connection of power supply.Hope I dont need to use other power supply.And any other accessories i shoud add in order to get desired and constant temperature of my heater?

Thanks a lot

 

The connections in the diagram are correct. There is a single supply.

That supply must match the heater for optimum results. Your supply is capable of 2A at 12V, 24W. Your heater wants slightly more than 2A at 24V, 50W. I do not know how it will perform with the smaller supply, it may heat slower and/or not be able to reach the maximum temperature. Check data sheet information on the heater to verify.

Does your controller come with a temperature sensor or at least recommend one to use? You will need something to measure the temperature to be fed into terminals 3 and 4.
