Re: E180 Temperature won't Go Above 5-15 Degrees (C)

Also, if your contacts have noticeably large lumps of solder on them, remove them with a soldering iron ... otherwise contact is bad and temperature readings will be false.

In my last post I said I changed the head - and this worked for the first 5-6 prints.

However, after looking at the ...

Re: Dirt from the nozzle

I got dirt from the nozzle quite a few times - I believe its because of erratic temperature monitoring where the head gets so hot it burns the PLA or the head starts leaking :(

Re: Error: Nozzle 0-TEMP

Hi - I had the same 0-Temp issues and updated to the latest firmware (v1.13.13) using EasyPrint3D's firmware update.
(Flasher-STM32 didn't work as it couldnt find the printer port)

However, now that 0-Temp doesn't occur, I often get black blobs in my prints as the temperature setting swings wildly ...
