Max heated bed temp

2 comments

I'm trying to raise to 130° (planning to print pom-c) but it goes up to 100° and then stops: (Error: Heating failed, system stopped! Heater_ID: bed - Printer halted. kill() called!)

 

Has anyone tested the max temperature heated bed can reach? It's due to hardware limit?

There are a lot of environmental factors involved in how high the bed can go, and there are various settings to manipulate regarding the safety code in the firmware.

I had trouble getting even near 100C with the old bed, but I can do 120C+ with the new one and an enclosure. The error being called is due to the thermal runaway code. I did a long write-up about that code here: https://makertech.wixsite.com/forum/forum/main/comment/5d5432f6b4daa5001700c98f

Thanks Remiel, i've read your write and now errors are clear. But problem stays, the bed can't reach temps over 100-102C. The only solution I can think is installing another source of heat.

    XYZ defunct

    Whilst trying to cure the lines in the print, it looks like I’ve turned the pots on the 2 TMC1200’s just ever so slightly too much clockwise (Too many volts). The display disappeared. I’ve since replaced the TMC1200’s and whilst the display works, there is still no movement on the XYZ axis’. I wish I had used a DVM to properly calibrate the volts instead of doing it by eyesight as the destructions suggested. As the XYZ doesn’t work, I’m lost to how to identify if it’s the main control board, display board, or something else. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Layer Shifting or missed steps on an axis

    I'm getting layer shifting on the y axis. Sometimes it will do ~100 layers just fine, other times every 3rd layer or so seems to miss steps and get offset from the ones underneath it. I've checked the pulley lead screws are tight and the belt is properly tensioned. Do I need to adjust the stepper driver? How much and which way? The motor for the carriage seems underpowered.

    How similar is the hotend to the E3D v6?

    The website at https://www.makertech3d.com/pages/proforge-2s says under the Mechanics section this printer has "An all metal Hotend based on the E3D V6, ...". How similar is it, if I wanted or needed to buy replacement parts? Would original E3D nozzles and silicone covers fit the heater block supplied with the Proforge?
