Re: redone my stock hotend
So after a week and half with 2nd hot end rebuild, i finally installed the 40w cartridge and new thermistor on my spare hot end, have had flawless prints since, and it stays within a degree or 2 consistently, im pretty happy, i didn't use the tapped thermistor but did order a new pre wired 100k ther...

Re: redone my stock hotend
now i know where i got the idea to tape up my hot end, was from this video, i used about the same amount of tape and just put the thermistor wire held in there. he mentioned to use the tape to help hold the joint from spinning lose, ( i just wont put tape over the plastic fins as much) so i just cop...

Re: redone my stock hotend
teoman is correct - you don't want to block the cooling fins in the PEEK section with Kapton. g. its been running great fr about 40 hours worth of print time, the upper portion of the hotend is cool to the touch during printing, so its getting enough cooling for sure, but i understand where your co...

Re: redone my stock hotend
i decided not to use ATV to hold the thermistor sensor in this time as i didn't trust it staying in this time and i just taped everything to keep it clear I think the RTV isn't just to hold the thermistor in, but to connect it thermally to the hot end. Without that, you're adding a bit of a lag (I ...

ye seems like a good idea, ill get a new Bowden Hotend setup, then rebuild the old like you said for a spare.Brian wrote:I'd fix the stock one and then use it to make all the bits would will need to mount a new one, then keep the stock one as a spare in case of an emergency.

Re: HOT END not maintaining target temp with fans on anymore
New resistors are cheap. You probably had an air bubble in the silicone that caused a hot spot and one of the resistors failed at that point. I had this happen and I reinstalled the new resistors but wrapped them with copper foil tape first, which really spreads the heat out and makes air bubbles a...

HOT END not maintaining target temp with fans on anymore
i have been running my dual fans like this for 2 months, no problems, now when i start a print it rises to the target temp, but i can tell the hot end seems to take longer, even with fans off its not as fast as before, then when it starts printing it drops lower to 140 for sure as well and if i swit...

Re: Not enough power??
My hotend used to go up to 245 (max i tried) now it only goes up to 233. And i do not have a alyer fan. I think some of the rtv has gone so the heat is not reaching the metal... i will try squirting more rtv in there or redoint the whole rtv part. What you should do is (in my opinion) 1 redo the ca...

Re: Not enough power??
You guys nailed it. Those fans were cooling the nozzle that much. They were blowing against each other. Once I removed one, the air had somewhere to go and its doing better. Now at 176 instead of where it should be at 190. But its an improvement over the 144 I did have. i have the same exact proble...
