Re: Temperature on Hot END

thanks it was a loose wire at the top of my printer, I guess when I tried to make the wires longer i didnt tighten up the clamps. So just in case that doesn't happen again I just solder the wires together. Thanks for the help

Re: Temperature on Hot END

Does the LED on the RAMBO light up when you set the hotend temperature? if it does, you need to unplug the hotend from the board, and measure the resistance across the heater connections. It should be ~3 Ohms, odds are it'll read close to infinity, and you have a wiring issue, broken wire or open ...

Temperature on Hot END

What's up all, I have been printing fine on my Rostock Max v2 for that last few months but today I tried to print something the hot end temperature won't go past 23 degrees Celsius. I have checked the wiring and checked my rambo fuses. Replaced the fuses and checked the hot end wires as well. (This ...

Also since you haven't printed anything, check the dangling wires for the layer fan. Make sure those are not touching each-other or anything for that matter.

Re: Stepper Motors Disabled

Check your fuses again. You may have blown one again. Which sounds bad but actually is a good thing. Because it is either the fuse or an expensive component that will probably be very difficult to solder. If it has blown you have a short somewhere. ok ill check the fuse again. would it be the fuse ...

Re: Stepper Motors Disabled

Support is just trying to establish if the fuse is dead without you having a meter. If F2 is dead, and you swap it with F3, then the board will be dead, since F3 is the fuse for the heater and the logic if I remember correctly. Yes they are replaceable parts, part numbers are posted in several ...

It's possible fuse F2 is dead on the Rambo board, you can check it with a meter.

Re: Stepper Motors Disabled

Right, you shouldn't have to manually enable the steppers. If it's ignoring a move command you may have a wiring issue with the motors. I've never done it so I'm not sure if the symptom would be the same if you have the endstops wired with reversed logic. is it a way to fix the wires in the stepper ...

Re: Stepper Motors Disabled

AFAIK "Steppers Disabled" is not an error message. It is just information. After certain events the firmware will shut off the steppers. When the steppers are disabled, you can move the cheapskates by hand. There is no "enable steppers" action in the Repetier menu. No action is required to re ...
