Re: Extruder Max Temp Error

Mark,

How do I uninstall the firmware update I did for the dual extruder ?

I contacted the supplier of the Extruder Heater, and he has confirmed the supplied the wrong parts
The 12v and 24v look the same.
Replacement parts on there way

Hope this fixes the problem

Thanks for all your help

Drew
