How To Safely Wire In A 3D Printer AC Silicone Heated Bed, Creality CR-10 S5

I've done a few of these Silicon heated beds. AC is different animal then DC. I try and explain some safety concerns you might have when wiring one of these in. One of the issues with these wheeled printers is that they isolatet the bed from the frame of the printer. You need to run a ground strap up with the heated bed. Allot these lower end 3D printers come with a single Pole AC switch. In a single pole the Neutral wire will always be hot when plugged in. Upgrade to double pole you don't have power when the switched is turned off. Most people just turn off the switch and leave the power cord plugged it. Hopefully this helps.
