You want to run a heated bed in addition to your Gen6 electronics on one PS?

I'd say you shouldn't.. at least not on the 70W one.. How do you plan to regulate it?... usually we turn down the voltage till the desired 60 degrees C is achieved... Gen6 is running on 12V.. but the bed will be best running around 18V or so..

Al..

Also gen6 works up to 24 volts.
you can set 18 volt.
what quantity watts absorbs gen6 and motors?

Gen6 will work at the higher voltages... but the problem you have is you need to build your heater to suit the voltage you are using... (I have 19.5V going into XCbot and have a heater to suit)...

Adjusting your Heated bed voltage to regulate it and needing to change (or overdrive) your nozzle heater for each each bed voltage is not on...

So 18V for the heated bed is fine? I have tried running mine at 12V and it doesn't get hot enough
