Please help me guys!
I have an Geeetech Mecreator.

I changed the Heater element. Now the two cables from the element is getting so warm that it is melting the isolation holding it together with fan and extruder motor cable.
This is not normal - but everything is working.

i am afraid of fire, so how can I fix this issue?
Everything is connected correctly.

Hi,
Sounds like the heater caused it.Did you preset a too high temp?Or the heater's voltage you bouht isn't compatible with our Mecreator?

Maybe it is not compatible with Mecreator.
I changed the Max_Pid setting to 128 - and now it is ok. Will change the heater, but at least now I can use it in the meantime.
