Hello I purchased model (APC Back-UPS Connect BGE90M,120V, Network Backup with USB Charging ports ) from (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NTQYUA8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and I didnt relized it was only a 2 prong UPS. I am using this for a 3d printer and will be getting a new one but in the meantime I need to use this one. Is it safe or is there a way to make it safe to use a 2 prong to 3 prong converter? Is there a way to ground it out?

Hi Scott,
The BGE90M is specifically designed to support small network devices such as a modem or wireless router. The unit is only capable of supporting up to 75w of power. I would strongly recommend against using the BGE90M for the application you have described and instead recommend acquiring another UPS which is designed for larger, 3 pronged applications.
