Is it safe to be adding more power strips in that
area?
I am not an electrician, but it seems to me that the 3D printer area already
have a lot of connections. That area (the 3D printing area) is being feed by
an extension cord which also feeds the area above (behind the sudoroom
sign), and the building station to the right.
it's not the number of power strips that matters, only the amount of
current flowing through them.
we are only plugging in tiny things like VOIP phones and LCD monitors and
a computer, and small lamps and a raspberry pi and things like that...
each device taking like 5 watts to maybe 200 watts for the desktop
computer. A single power strip can handle 1800 watts (15 amps 120v) so
there will not be a problem.
