A few weeks ago I decided to buy a Geeetech super plate hotbed for my I3Pro B. I changed the old hotbed for the super plate. It did not heat above the 80 degrees centigrade. The standard power supply delivers only 180 Watt by 12 volt. That was not enough for the super plate hotbed. Also the GT2560 ...

Hello,

I ordered and installed the Geeetech super plate heatbed. It works fine but the temperature will not rise above 85 degrees centigrade. So I cannot print with ABS or Nylon. What do you suggest to improve the warming up time of heating and to get the plate heated to 120 degrees?

Hello William,

Thank you for your answer. Is it possible to change the firmware in a way that after giving the home command, the printer is really going home (0,0,10), after the printhead is stopping in the center of the heatbed? Where can I change that code?

Thank you for your quick responses ...

Hello William,

Yes, the Z_SAFE_HOMING is enabled.
Do you have any other suggestions?

Hello,

I installed the 3d auto levelling sensor, changed the firmware and everything seems to work with my Prusa I3proB and a GT2560 rev a+ controller.
The only thing that is wondering me: when I give a home command with the repetier software or with the controller on the Geeetech the printhead is ...
