Print bed not keeping temperature after E3d V6 install

Post by jarek319 »

Hi all!

I recently installed an E6d V6 extruder, and my first couple prints came out ok, but I noticed my bed temperature was oscillating by +-2 degrees around 85 degrees. I tried a larger print with the bed set to 105, but the bed got to 95, then dropped to 85, and is now bouncing between the two.

Could the E6D V6 be drawing so much more power that my heated bed struggles to maintain a temperature? I already tried doing a PID calibration for my bed using M303 P1 S80 and put in the averaged values.

PS: my heat bed LED does glow while the temp readout shows my bed temp is dropping

Sounds like an anemic power supply to me.
