The AC adapter theoretically offers 120W, but it's safer to assume no more than 90W (3/4 of the rated output). This will be used to drive our heating elements and fans. The ESP32 itself is powered off the AMS circuit. It ought not draw more than 500 mA, even when transmitting on wireless, which ought be safe (and is less than our fans were drawing). Remember, Bambu doesn't guarantee any slack on the AMS circuit, and expressly instructs you not to draw from it.

The temperature switch is a final guard against a failure in power control; it will open (disabling the heater) at 60C, the maximum temperature we want in the chamber. The ESP32 enables the heater when either:
