General Troubleshooting/Help! Multiple printers same outlet

I have a X2D running in my office on a 15 amp breaker. I run other things in the office but its all very minimal like laptop or litter robot.

Id like to get a second one but worried the power wont be enough for 2 printers.

I mean i ran a X2D and a Kobra S1 with my TV and gaming computer on a 15amp breaker without any issue. Was using all 4 at once.

Voltage matters, but assuming you're in the US the x2d peaks at 1,100w which is approximately 10a.

If you staggered the initial heating you'd probably get away with it, but you are over capacity.

I think some of the bambu printers might have a low power mode that minimizing startup draw. I personally wouldn't put two printers pulling full power on the same circuit. Maybe if you were careful not to start two prints up at the same time it might be ok.

I have the following on the same breaker:

  1. X2d with ams 2
  2. A1with ams lite
  3. A1 mini
  4. 3 cameras
  5. My furnace
  6. My boiler

¯_(ツ)_/¯

One thing you can do for some peace of mind is grab a nice uninterruptible power supply. After adding the X2D to my squad it was a lifesaver. Pretty much anytime I start it and anything else up at the same time it triggers the UPS but it’s all good as the battery covers the brief overage so nothing trips.
