Re: Printer goes dry mode after 24hrs?

Printer goes dry mode after 24hrs?

Does anyone know how I should troubleshoot my rostock when it stops printing on a 40 hour print job. I have tried twice printing the part and it stops printing randomly when its between 49% to 90% complete.

Re: Hot end temp issue???

Seems to be printing ok now, thanks that may have been the culprit. I completely turned the fans off. it's a 10 hour print job so will have to see if makes it through the night. If that is the problem how can you adjust the firmware config so it doesn't shut down running those fans?

Hot end temp issue???

Cant seem to figure out why my hotend hovers 2-3 degrees below the target temp. If I set it at 230 it will go to 228, If I set it a 245 it will go to 243. The problem I'm having is it wont reach the target temp for the print to start. Ive taken the hotend whip on an off and inspected the wires and n...

PID Tuning Heated Bed?

Quick question, when I run the M303 E-1 S90 C3 my extruder starts heating up? Shouldn't the bed heat up with a E-1?

I already did a PID tuning for the extruder and want to calibrate my bed?

Re: Print stopped?

So i went back into Simplify, turned on the extruder and now notice my extruder temp is all over the map. Its jumping from 180 then back up to 220? I guess thats why it stopped but not sure what could be causing this?

Print stopped?

Was wondering what could of happened? My print has been going for about 6 hours and was about 68% complete.

The arms were still moving going through the motions but the bed and thermister said (Def) on the printer LCD and nothing was printing hence the stepper stopped pushing filament?

Yep that was the issue. I got a heat gun and slighty warmed it up a bit. Its 22 degrees outside and the printer is in the basement. :)

Rough print

Anyone have a suggestion on what I need to adjust based on the attached photo. I have lots of zits and seems like it's stepping odd. This is my first print with this printer.

Was printing with PETG in simplify 3D. Also wondering if any one has a good FFF settings for PETG they could share.

No DC Voltage to printer bed

I have a new V3 Rostock kit that I assembled. I had to have my bed replaced because it was not pushing the right amount of resistance. The previous bed would heat up but would take almost 30 min to get to 60 and then would not go any higher, as a result SeeMeCNC sent me a replacement bed. So I've re...
