Re: Heated bed works great for hours, then overheats

Yes! Exactly. It stays on even after I turn it off manually. Thank you. I have another RAMPS. I will switch it out.

Heated bed works great for hours, then overheats

Hi, I have the Mendel Prusa i3 built with Arduino Mega 2560 and a RAMPS. It has the heated bed and it works great with one exception.

LCD Panel and light on the RAMPS board blinks on and off

Hi, my printer was working great until I overheated the MOSFET so I ordered a new RAMPs and installed it and I can't get the printer to work again. When I power it up, the LCD panel blinks on and off kind of slowly (every two seconds or so). So, I ordered a new power supply. I thought maybe that was...

STL file for LCD 2004 knob?

Hey, just a suggestion. Why doesn't someone design a nice knob for the LCD 2004 panel, since Geeetech inexplicably doesn't include one? Post the file with recommended g-code/Slicr settings to this forum. You'd be my hero! Thanks. Love my Prusa i3.

Re: Heating bed over heats

Ahhh yes, the fan wires are very weak and one broke. I will need to buy a Ramps and a new fan from you. I will do that now. Thank you!

Re: Heating bed over heats

Hello, I have the exact same problem! My Prusa i3 is the Arduino Mega 2650 board with Ramps 1.4. I have been successfully printing now for about a month and the heatbed suddenly won't stop heating up!

Re: Extruder Fan is Alway On!

OK, thanks for that answer. However, the only way to turn it on or off is to plug it in or unplug it? Even on/off is not controllable from the software or LCD menu. Is this correct?

Extruder Fan is Alway On!

I cannot get my extruder fan to stop running all the time. Even if I set auto cool in the software, or change the speed on the LCD screen, nothing happens. It runs at the same speed all the time. Ideas?
