Hi guys!

In today's video we answer the question.  How much power does a Geeetech Aluminum Prusa I3 use?  To my surprise, not as much as I thought.

The device used to measure the wattage is called the Kill A Watt.  You can find it at most Home Centers such as Home Depot.  It costs under $30 and if you program it with your local power company's rate it will tell you exactly what it is costing to run what ever device you have plugged into it.

I just finished a 2 hour print and the power cost was about 2 cents.  Not bad at all.
