 V: one line thread cross 2, another cross 3 (1 don't need to pick up).
 The new circuit, whether meet the 12 v or 24 v, the power is stable.

+**The heating element in your HOTBED (as seen in the pictures) can be wired to support 12 or 24 volts.**
+The schematic printed on the surface shows pin 1 2 and 3 {{:reprap:electronics:hotelement.jpg?direct&200|}}  representation of the element → {{:reprap:electronics:hotbedelement.jpg?direct&300|}}
+If wired for 12 volts, the element is doubled up, resulting in less resistance/higher current/slower heating and less poweroutput.
+If wired for 24 volts, the element is connected from both ends only resulting in higher resistance/lower current/faster heating higher poweroutput.
+NOTE: There is more than one model of heating element available in the market, before you start any work check which one you have and if you can use the 24 volts option.
