Hi gr5,
Thanks for the tip. I've set the temperature to 0 and tried a print - and there it was! The printing movement started. However, as soon as I set the temperature above 0, e.g. to 20 degrees, the printing process does not start after reaching the target temperature.
I have checked the wiring of the cartridge, looks absolutely fine. The temperature curve still looks random and erratic when heating up and still randomly fluctuates around the target temperature with ca. +/-5 degrees.
Regarding the Marlin firmware: I did not play with the PID values. I have simply upgraded the firmware via Cura. I also tried to print via Pronterface - with the same disappointing result.
As the printer movement appears with 0 degree target temp, but does not appear with any temperature higher than 0, it seems to me as if signal to start the print movement when target temperature is reached, is not send or not received properly somewhere whithin the system. Does someone has any ideas about the cause of such an error?
Thanks in advance,
Rgds
