| Feb 4, 2019 at 9:25 | comment | added | John | I tried it and able to get it to work with a 5v 3a power supply module i get from an old DVD player. But at 5v, the wire heats up enough only for about a 600 mm/s cut. I will mark this as the answer, but will try PWM with my 12v supply later, maybe with an arduino. | |
