e3d v6 upgrade Firmware problems
Plushberry replied to Plushberry's topic in Third party products & modifications
i also used this page to change the temp sensor definitions, though I have noticed that there are three temp sensors defined. (and i am not sure what the third one is there for, i only have one hotend, not two) https://wiki.e3d-online.com/E3D-v6_Assembly I think this is likely where the issue is stemming from, unless there are other methods to determine the source of the issue. -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLLci32tHA4 i followed this video, as well as modifying the firmware to account for the different kind of thermistor. (Im using marlin for the firmware) -

I did try the PID values that are listed in the firmware changes as well, but no luck. -
I have upgraded my ultimaker2E with an e3d 6v hotend as well as a titan extruder to make the system a direct drive. Everything appears to be wired correctly, but there seem to be issues with the firmware in regards to the temperature sensor. I have measured the resistance of the thermistor as well as the heat cartridge, and both have values well within their tech specs, so the issue is not likely to be a hardware issue. The problem I am coming across is that whenever I try to do any heat up process, whether it be printing or changing material, the printer appears to take over 5 minutes to heat up according to the progress bar on the display. After about 5 or 6 minutes, maybe a bit more, i get an E03 error, which is a heater error. I have modified the firmware using the following two lines from the e3d tutorial https://wiki.e3d-online.com/E3D-v6_on_Ultimaker_2#Firmware_Changes #define MAX_HEATING_TEMPERATURE_INCREASE 0.1 //[E3D] original value 10 #define MAX_HEATING_CHECK_MILLIS (90000) //[E3D] original value(30 * 1000) unfortunately, this has not apparently helped, and I am not sure where to go from here.

Extrusion stopping early into print
Plushberry replied to Plushberry's topic in Materials & profiles
the pribts came out fairly well. only flaw is some slight holes in part of the walls as will be visible in the images. if there is a way to fix this please let me know. -

it seems it was indeed the coupler. I have been printing the architectural model parts and they seem to be coming out fairly well -

I replaced the coupler and the printer seems to be doing fine for now. I have notoced though that one of the belts has little to no tension on it. I will update in the morning when the print is finished to see if the deffinition looks good -

here is the coupler. I think ai will need to replace it anyways because pulling it out of the hot end caused some damage to the exterior anyways. Please let me know how I should proceed. -

theres are the results from my pulls from left to right being first to last. For some reason the second time the fillament seemed to have broken inside thoug I coudnt see any bits of fillament in the coupler. the third pull I pulled while the temp was at about 105 which is why it came out elongated. -

Will do after the pulls. Thanks for the help -

Okay. I will try a couple pulls with PETG and send pictures of the results. The coupler seems to be fine, still fairly white in color. -

I used PLA for my pulls, though as i mentioned I have replaced the nozzle since to a new one. How do I check the coupler exactly? -
Hello everyone, I have been printing with this printer with relatively high success for all of my previous prints. i switched to PETG, and didnt have an issue printing with that either. As soon as I went back to PLA, i began running into trouble. I am trying to print pieces for an architectural model for school but so far the printer has not been able to make it past the first layer successfully. I have not tried the file in a few days, since I am trying to fix the printer. Today I did many minicaltests to see if the printer was working better (I originally thought the issue may have been high tension on the drive gear) and I got inconsistent results. For some reason the printer seemed to be working fine when I was staring at it as it printed but when I let it run by itself, it is unable to properly finish the last few layers of the calibration. I have performed the atomic pull a few times and even replaced the nozzle, so I do not think it has anything to do with the previous material, though I may of course be very wrong there.

I was still having trouble with taking the tube out so i just fed it with more filament untill the broken end had been pushed out.
