Champion 3400-Watt Dual Fuel Generator: 3d Printing During a Brownout and Full Power Outage
Our local utility (Pacific Gas & Electric: PG&E) doesn't have enough power to keep the grid running during severe heat events when everyone is using their Air Conditioning.
It was recently over 100 degF in our town and PG&E resorted to a "brown-out" by lowering the voltage to 105V (from the normal (115V). This caused my 3d Printer to shut down causing a print failure. Rather than risk another failure, I hooked the printer up to our Champion 3400-Watt Dual Fuel Generator running on propane.
The generator worked great and kept my print going for 5+ hours including a period where the power was completely shut off by PG&E.
It wasn't a *real* emergency for our household because the power was only off for a few hours, but it was a great test of the generator to see if could power a significant piece of equipment for many hours.
