Re: [MendelMax] Heat Bed: 24v vs 220v - any advantages?

[Mike Payson]

The 220V heaters are slightly higher wattage-- 250W vs. 200W, so it will heat up about 20 percent faster, but in practice this should not be a major issue. Personally, the benefit is not enough to justify the extra risks and more complicated setup.

Hi all -

I'm about to order a MM1.5 hardware kit (when they're available....!)

I'm not sure which heater voltage I should go for.  I live in Australia, so I'm guessing our 240v supply will be OK with the 220v heater??

Aside from having to use the relay for 220v, and the increased safety risk, is there any difference in performance between the two?

Cheers,
Jon.
