Rostock Max V2 power off by itself
Posted: Wed Sep 30, 2015 8:25 am
I did assemble the Rostock following the instruction and everything went fine. I stated the first print, the PEEK fan shroud and it started as expected. I use Repetier-Host V1.5.6 and my computer is via USB cable connected with the Rostock. After some time the power went off. Nothing was running or a LED was on and I thing also the PSU fan was off.
My first idea was this could be a thermal problem and I took away the side walls and the acrylic as well. The print went through.
To figure out what is the problem I did following test.
1. I inserted a temperature sensor near the PSU. I started a print and at 30°C the power off.
2. I removed the side wall but kept the acrylic on. I started a print and at 31°C power off.
3. Removed the Rambo from the Rostock and closed the hole as good as possible. I started a print. It needed long time to heat up 30°C and was still running.
4. With a hair dryer I headed the space inside where the PSU is up to 36°C. Still running.
5. Heated up the Rambo. Still running.
6. The print was still going on and the temperature inside was still decreasing and the power turned off.
In the LOG file I found
N28190 G1 X13.989 Y18.534 F12000 *95
Printer reset detected - initalizing
start
I have no idea where the printer reset came come from or what the root for it is.
The test didnät show a coreelation between temperature and the power off. I thought if is a EMC problem that some unwanted spike triggered the power off.
Has someone an idea what the problem is?
