How to get higher hot end temps?

Hello,
Just upgraded hot end to E3D V6 all metal unit. While trying to print nylon, I could not set the hot end above 240°C using the led panel controls. Is there a setting I need to change in Mattercontrol that would be uploaded to EEProm?

Thanks,
Cris

Hi, you have to update your firmware.
Under Configuration.h

#define MAXTEMP 290

#define MIN_DEFECT_TEMPERATURE -10
#define MAX_DEFECT_TEMPERATURE 300

(The last 2 are extreme values to detect defect thermistors).


And for the menu settings of the LCD display you need to change:

#define UI_SET_MAX_EXTRUDER_TEMP 290
