Slight problems

Post by Artenen » Fri Jun 20, 2014 9:22 pm

I'm having trouble with the following items:

Hot end doesn't raise above 208.1C and fluctuates per the image below
heat.JPG
heat.JPG (54.3 KiB) Viewed 6786 times
The extruder seems to keep extruding even when nothing is happening

Hot end keeps plugging up (I have 2 and both are doing the same heat and extruding things.

I think I loaded the right fireware update but I'm not sure what to do from here. It was working fine and I got maybe 30 hours on it total but now it is wonky... I'm guessing it is firmware related? (Purchased after April / 1/16 step)

yes if you changes the firmware then its firmware related. which firmware version did you upload? there are 2. a 24v r1 and and r2. i believe you would be an r2. r1 i believe is for a 12v cartridge heater. to be sure just check the resistance of the heater with a voltmeter then install the correct one.

If you have a 24V model, 1619 is not correct for you.

as jin said that is not correct firmware. the 19v models like mine have 2 power bricks. you have the large single power supply which makes yours a 24 volt machine.
