Re: Extruder Temperature Fault

After changing the fan speed setting in Cura to 42%, I have run over 30 hours of printing with no faults. So thanks to Hebbster for locating the cause. I'm not into software much anymore, but I suspect that the temperature tuning routine isn't adequately compensating for fan speed. While running it ...

Re: Extruder Temperature Fault

Update: After I posted the above, heppster's post on a 100% fan shutdown struck me as being a similar symptom so I checked out how the tool fan speed affected temperature control. Heppster noted that 50% fan speed eliminated the problem. I checked and at 100% I had a variation of +- 4 degrees, where...

Re: SE300 / V3.2 100% Fan shutdown ideas?

Hebbster, You found the source of a problem that I have been fighting since late last summer. My RostockMax V3.2 with a SE300 hotend had been faulting on out of temp range at random intervals. I tried replacing the entire hotend, firmware, config file, and ran a temp tuning routine that Steve sent m...

Extruder Temperature Fault

I have a RostockMax V3.2 with Duet board and SE300 dual feed hotend. It was purchased 3/24/18. I have a random issue where the hotend heater will have a fault for temperature out of range. I haven't been able to tell if the temperature abruptly peaks too high to create the fault or if it drops down ...

Re: Oldie but Newbie

Update It's been five months, and I'm still enjoying my Rostock Max. After downloading FreeCAD, I've begun to do some practical designs besides printing toys for the grandkids. My latest was a small triangular corner deck for a sailing dingy that I recently acquired. One of the two fiberglass decks ...

Demo Servo motor and actuator

I'm new to 3D printing. I recently purchased a Rostock Max V3.2, and needed something work related to help justify the cost. I work as a motion specialist for an industrial distributor, and on a whim downloaded a stp file for a Siemens 1FK7022 servo motor. I used Cura to slice it, and the first prin...

Oldie but Newbie

I'm nearing retirement from my profession as a motion control engineer supporting industrial automation products, and thought that I would take up the hobby that my daughter and son-in-law have been so enthused about, 3D printing. I tagged along with them to MRRF in Elkhart two weeks ago with the in...

Re: New member intro with a couple of basic questions

From one new member to another, I may know your problem with the LED. I also just received a Rostock Max V3.2. I did all of the build except the soldering, which I delegated to my son-in-law and his cousin, who could actually see the thermistor and have built several 3D printers. They reported back ...
