Re: Rostock Max v3 Stops Moving after a while

Are you printing off of the SD card, or over the USB cable?

Re: HE280 Rev B Hotend issues

You state that the old hotend heater doesn not come on automatically,,,, Does it come on when the RamBo calls for heat?

When Mosfets fail, they normally fail "On", causing the heater to be on all the time.

Re: heat break stuck

warm the hotend to around 200 C, then re tighten the nozzle before you print.
the aluminum heat block expands more than the nozzle, and heat break, which causes the nozzle to loosen and leak.

Re: Hotend never reaches Temp

Gene has a video on youtube showing how to replace the resistors with a heater cartridge in the hotend. Myself, I installed two,,,,, to keep the hater block balanced.

I was going to post that that you need to tighten the power supply connections at the RamBo, but you say you've already done that.

Re: ERIS - Clicking Sound, No Filament Coming Out, Unload Doesn't Work :(

I've had to trim the end of the ptfe back a little bit so that the connector would have fresh material to bite into, otherwise I would have a hockey puck form causing my jam. I use a heat break from my V2 hotend, and a razor blade to trim the tube square so it seals.

Re: New to 3D printing and need help

For print leveling to work, the controller needs to have a sensor to notify it that the nozzle has touched the bed. What you show does not have a sensor. The Arms the previous owner put on appear to be by Trick Laser. He shows 300 mm for the arms he currently sells,,,, You have the old style, but th...

Re: New to 3D printing and need help

Unless the previous owner added a sensor of some sorts, print leveling will not work,,, and you would have to adjust it manually. Post some pictures, it may help identify what you got there.

Re: Discontinued???

I'll post up a picture of them tonight. And I'll try and find my firmware file for it as well. Once I took out the slop with the springs, I had to make some changes, I think to the sensor sensitivity?, so that the auto calibration worked.
