Re: Jumpy extruder temperature

Thanks @dekes1 for this valuable input ... I will go for that route since it's very easy to implement. @_kaktus_ how would I measure the Voltage while printing? I've measured constant 24.5V with the power plug off the board, but once it's on the board, I don't know the points/pins where to look for ...

Re: Jumpy extruder temperature

Hello, yes, in my first post in this thread I have written about what I've done regarding PID tuning.

Re: Jumpy extruder temperature / Good Bye

I'm still having this problem and my printer is still unusable for PETG and ABS for the above reason. It's unbeleivable that no support is helping me or offering me any alternative. However, I have to at least mention Kaktus who looked at my problem and helped me with some thoughts. I think I will m...

Re: Jumpy extruder temperature

The Impedance of the Thermistor is fine, it is at a stable 101.6 kOhms, which is fine for a 100k Thermistor. BTW, the video I made shows temp of the heated bed, not the temp of the extruder, but that's instable in the same way. I highly doubt that I have to exchange the Thermistor. BTW, I've tried b...

Re: Jumpy extruder temperature

I think I'm getting closer ... seems that the Thermistor of the extruder is broken. See this Video on Youtube showing the temperature not being stable when I power up the A10. This shouldn't range from 15 to 20°C. It is 20° in this room and not less. :D Question: Which connector is the Thermistor of...

Quick survey: What Material are you using?

Hey, a quick "survey" if I may - what material at what Temperature are you mostly printing? Anything other than PLA?

I'm asking because I'm having lots of trouble getting anything hotter than PLA running, see my other thread regarding that, so far without any help by the support. :cry:

Re: Jumpy extruder temperature

I've found out that when I want to print at higher temperatures around 245 or so (for PETG), I can trick out the printer by starting at around 225 for the first layer and then change the temperature to the higher temperature, but that only worked for a few times, now it's not working anymore. The pr...

Jumpy extruder temperature

Hi, I wanted to get into PETG printing, so I wanted to print a temperature tower from 245 to 230. The problem: After climbing up to the 245°C region, the temperature is jumping between 241°C and 249°C and the print actually never starts, not even after 15 minutes of waiting. I've done a PID tuning o...

Re: A10 firmware problem

Hello, I'm having the same trouble as the above posters, with Arduino 1.8.6 I'm getting the same errors ( "...error: pasting "/*PIN that has to be turned on right..." ). With Arduino 1.8.5 though, I'm getting only one Error: "sketch/stepper.cpp:57:20: fatal error: Buzzer.h: No such file or directory...

Re: A10 Capacitive Bed Levelling Sensor

Thanks for this exhaustive information! I appreciate it! I will use a LM2596 Voltage regulator module in order to step the 24V down to 5V. That's a clear thing. When I change something months later, it's easier for me to see what's going on without a doubt. And it would be the same method which I've...
