Here are some data points:
- https://3dprintingmentor.com/how-much-power-do-3d-printers-use-and-what-does-that-cost/
- Summary: 200W for Prusoids, 60W for monoprice mini delta with only 35W heatbed (4" circle bed)
Steppers
- Nema 17 - about 5W - [1]
D3D Universal
- 20W for 4 steppers
- 40W for extruder heater at full power (max printing)
- LCD - .1A at 5v - 0.5W - [2]
- Fan - 2.4W [3]
- Blower - 3.6W - [4]
- Seems like arduino can draw max .2A from 5v pins - or 1W max. Since LCD is powered by Arduino, total for Arduino, RAMPS, + LCD is probably 1W max. [5]
TOTAL: 67W, about 1/3 of the industry standards.
