Re: Heated Bed slow heating wont go past 68 degrees

Check power cables connected to the board.

If they have started to burn up due to a poor connection, that will inhibit the bed from reaching temp.

Re: Bed Heat

Don't get the Fotek. Too many clones around. They have been known to pump up the price to hide the fact that they are clones.

I would recommend one of the other brands recommended. (One that is a mosfed based solution).

I have built my own, but it is not worth the hassle.

Re: Bed Heat

Foteks are not that bad. But you have to watch out for the cheap clones!

My event happened with a clone. I burned 3 of them one after the other.

Re: 24V Upgrade to my Max V3

If you blocked all the air vents then you will end up with heat buildup in the bottom.

It may be a better idea to insulate the bottom of the bed. (Some have done it eith aerogel).

Re: Bed resistor?

Which resistor are you talking about (i have the v2).

On mine there are resistors on the bed to limit the current going to the LED's.

You do not really need them. But they should also not affect the operation of the thermistor.

Re: Screen went blank

Stop immediately!

A loose connection is a high resistance point. It WILL heat up and melt the connector after a short time.

You have to make sure the power connections are nice and tight.

Oh, measure your filament aswell.

Re: Failed print now printed parts just break apart

If the print is a bit crunchy that indicates under extrusion. I had that problem and needed so solve it fast. It was a bit complicated for me untill i found the cause. Too much resistance extruding, if you cannot manually (by turning with your hand) extrude then you have a problem with the bowden tu...

Fan is cooling too much

Not enough heat to heating element.

Try increasing max pid value so system is able to pump more heat.

Re: Ghost town

The new forum engine is not doing it for me.

From a mobile phone it does not give the same experience as it used to.

Also there seems to be less people tinkering - pushing boundaries.

Re: Too much space when extruding

Try the print again, but this time play with the extrusion multiplier. It is accessible by the lcd while you are printing. If by increasing it you get a satisfactory result you know that your problem is with the filament diameter OR extrusion multiplier OR extruder calibration (the are all used to c...
