That would depend on PWM frequency, board inductance (which I was hoping would be enough but someone said would probably be nil) and any capacitance added to the system. But I don't think anyone was worried about temperature changing in 2.5 milliseconds. > On Sat, Apr 14, 2012 at 1:05 AM, Joel Chia <j...@revivalstudios.com> wrote: >> Just curious, running the ultimaker at 24v, wouldn't that adversely >> Also, not sure if it's a design choice or due to board size, but having >> In my experience, aluminium beds can warp and become uneven (infact, >> Cheers, >> On Sat, Apr 14, 2012 at 8:05 AM, Taylor Alexander <tlalexan...@gmail.com>wrote: >>> Yeah I assume its in the kHz range.
