Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

installed a E3D v6 all metal hot end.
need to get to 285c but firmware limits it at about 250 c
I know there is a setting in firmware for this, but I can not find it.
Repetier 091 fw

where is that bugger???

Configuration.h,,,,, around line 490,,,, and then all the way at the end there's something that limits the manual contorl at the lcd.

nope.
those values are at 300 already, besides the E3D uses type 8 tmist, those look to be for generic tmist tables.
lcd section is set at 285 already

machine setting in repetier host is set to 300 also.

highest it will go is 255

found it, around line 576 in config.h
MAXTEMP was limiting it to 247 ...

// When temperature exceeds max temp, your heater will be switched off.
// This feature exists to protect your hotend from overheating accidentally, but *NOT* from thermistor short/failure!
#define MAXTEMP 247

/** Extreme values to detect defect thermistors. */
#define MIN_DEFECT_TEMPERATURE -10
#define MAX_DEFECT_TEMPERATURE 290

sheeeeshhh!

I think there might be an LCD max temp setting as well. I might be getting Repetier mixed up with Marlin though. If it works it works.

Line 576 for now, until the firmware gets updated again.

Luckily version 0.91 will always be 0.91, so it won't change (unless we're talking about the 0.91 that SeeMeCNC distributes... but still, that's unlikely to change either.)

until some one changes it.
