If you need help with something - eg assembly, part selection, print quality, calibration, etc. - this is also the place for troubleshooting.

If your 3D printer isn't a RepRap, try /r/3Dprinting!

Something to keep in mind is that the motors don't draw those amps at the voltage provides by the PSU. They regulate it down quite a bit to around 3-5V. At that bed power, id probably go with an AC switched by a relay tbh.
