Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

So i just cleared my eeprom on my max 2 and now when i try to upload firmware 0.91, i get this message: error compiling for board arduino/genuino mega or mega 2560 I'm a noob when it comes to this, so i have no clue what's wrong here. :o Arduino: 1.8.7 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Mega or ...

doh... ofcourse. Thanks for the fast reply

So i managed to fry my thermistor on the hotend and now i'm almost finished installing the new on. But then i startet thinking, do i need to calibrate the new thermistor?
It's the exact same thermistor as the one i fried.

So i bought some ninjaflex to play with, but i'm having a reeeeaally hard time getting just the bottom layer done. I have the E3dV6, the "fly-n-strude", and the mod. on the eztruder ( http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=5298&hilit=ninjaflex ) But it just won't work. First lines comes out ...

oh lol.. guess i just need to keep calibrating and see
Thanks

huh.. I couldn't find it on the firmware i had on my pc, so i downloaded it from github and now it shows up
Thought it was supposed to be 35, so if it's already changed to 38.4, there's no need to change it,or?

So i came over this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-92PSNINO0 And then i tried to print that calibration circle,and it was just a big mess.. Up until now i've only used the middle of the glass,but now i have several pieces to print. But only the prints closest to the center turns out ok. So ...

Hm, i only get 240°c max, but in the firmware it says #define MAXTEMP 275
The only change i've made so far is the thermistor.

ooooh nice. But just to be sure, this is what came up, so i'm supposed to change #define EXT0_TEMPSENSOR_TYPE 97 to #define EXT0_TEMPSENSOR_TYPE 8, is that correct?

Thank god someone made a thread about this so i don't have to.. BUT, what i've read here didn't help me that much. I can't seem to find out where this "#define EXT0_TEMPSENSOR_TYPE 8" is gonna go, what line am i supposed to switch that with? I took a printscreen of what i think is the correct page ...

woah.. I didn't get any notification emails about any reply to this thread,so i completely forgot about it. Thanks for all input!
I really like the E3D, so i think i'm gonna try it out.

So i want to try out a new hotend and i don't know which one of those is most recommended on the max v2? I mostly use PLA, but i've read several people having trouble with PLA on E3Dv6..
Would be nice to hear from people that use either of those hotends.

*facepalm* Forgot about the fans.. so used to using only PLA, so when trying out ABS, i forgot about them. I guess they're the reason of the temperature drop.

Hey, so when i'm doing a print at i.e. 240°c, 15-30min into the print,the nozzle temp according to the display goes down waaay much.. today it went down to 198°c from 240°c. I have the Max V2, all stock parts. The print started out fine.. but when i went under 200°c,it started failing badly.. so how ...

heheh,ok.. ooh,that's gotta suck. I'm from europe btw, Norway to be exact.

who,me? how much do you bet?

Ah, i see. But it's so weird that after the lightning strike, the usb is completely useless. I mean, none of the pc's didn't recognize when i plugged in the usb to the printer. Nothing happens. When the lightning struck, the pc were affected, cus it was a loud static "boom" in the room,and the ...

the rambo is definitely bad. i have tried 2 different computers on it, 4 usb cables, ALL usb ports. As soon as i changed out the board to a new one, everything worked.

So today i finally got my replacement RAMBo. So when i took out the old board, i noticed this little broken part to the left of the usb port. Can this be the thing that messed up my usb connection?
And btw, i just got the printer up and running, but i'm not sure if i need to calibrate the PID's again?

Have tried 2 usb cables and all the ports. Still the same

Lol.... must have skipped that part of the manual :roll: Btw...had a breakthrough today, i had disconnected the usb cable and swapped the fuses around..and the jittering was gone. I first thought it was because of the fuses,but found out that it actually was the usb cable that was causing the ...

So i was gonna re-flash it today,but i can't get it connected to the usb anymore. I have tried all the usb ports on the pc and several usb cables,but nothing shows up on device manager.. so something must have happened to the RAMBo..

Just tried another sd card. Same thing
Guess i could try to reset the RAMBo and see if that makes any difference

I've always printed from the sd card :p
I only use the usb connection for tuning the z height
