MakerGear Forum

Started up my machine for the day; got the heat started, and heard a buzz sound. Looked up real fast and saw sparks coming from heated end. Before I could hit the my fans stopped working.

Turned the machine off as fast as I could; unplugged the hotend. I am not sure if the sparks were from the heater or thermostat, but definitely came from that area.

Now machine will not turn on, fans don't start, wont connect, etc

I checked the fuse in the pc board, it does not seem shorted out!

I have submitted a support request but was wondering if anyone else had any ideas?

There are three fuses on the board did you check them all? .

If it started as a hotend issue and the fans stopped working F3 is where I'd look first.

I did not know that! Wew; ok if it is a smaller fuse where do I buy new ones?

But also why did the hot end do that? It is actually pretty new


My original hot end just had the thermostat piece come out completely; how do I reinstall that?
