Hello all,
does anyone have experience with how much power the P1P consumes on average approx.
(European power grid / 230V 50-60Hz.)
My P1P uses nearly 60W on printing PETG with Nozzle temp of 255°C and Bed temp of 80°C. In the following graphic you can see the power usage of a 4h PETG print.
The peak on start is when the P1P brings the heat bed on print temperature and is up to 1000W.
Would you mind explaining how this was measured.
I have my 4 printers hooked up to a Sonoff Plug.
But I have struggled with how to organize the use of the data it gives me.
Thank you.
I have my P1P hooked up to a Fibaro Plug (Z-Wave), which collects power (W) and energy (Wh). The data will be collected and stored in an Influxdb. I use Grafana to look at it. My last print with PETG from today tooks 3,5 hours and the P1P has consumed 193 Wh energy.

Could you say the consumption per Kg of filament?
The consumption per kg depends of the type of print. If you print small single models, the consumption per kg is higher because, you have to heat up the bed for every print. If you do 10 prints using 20g filament the printer has to heat up the bed 10 times, so the consumption will be much higher than you print 1 model using 200g filament with only 1 times heating up the bed.
I’m not using the printer for business, only for hobby. So no, I can’t really say what the consumption per kg of filament is. 
And so about 10W at idle?
