Do you have a temp error in your bed or printhead?
Don't know. It just says: heater error
Do you have an Olsson Block?
Yep. Using it for about 6 months now,
What happens when you leave your fans off?
Will be testing, but i fear the printing results.
The screen should say temp bed error if it is the heated bed.
If it doesn't it is probably the heated bed.
Such a temp error can be triggered when the heaterblock takes too much time to heat up.
This can because the heaterblock is touching the fanshroud and the fanshroud will act as a heatsink.
It could also be that there is just a little connection, and the cool of the air pushes it to an temp error.
By leaving the fan off, it may not give you the best print, but if you don't get a temp error your fan shroud is probably touching your heaterblock.
Let me know it plays out, thanks
The error occurred while printing with PETG at 242 C nozzle temp.
Started testing the same print but now with PLA at 210 C, as that was the only thing different from previous prints.
It did not say temp bed error but heater - error.
So the heater error occurs when nozzle does not reach or hold temp according to settings?
No problem with PLA. So the higher temp of PETG is a problem when in second layer the fans switch on.
Any suggestions?
You could change the temperature on the layer the fan goes on to +1 C. This it's what I do so the heater heats sooner and I can avoid the head going too low because the change of temp.
Heater error is generated by the firmware when the measured temperature does not increase enough during heatup (usually indicating a loose connection with the heater cardrige). This could also be caused by having to much cooling on the nozzle, which results in to little power for the nozzle to actualy reach the required delta T

OK. Thanks for the tips. I'll try them all.

UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
ArunC posted a topic in Ultimaker Cura,
In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking!

Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
MariMakes posted a topic in Official news,
The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
So what’s new?
The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more
Curious to see the S7 in action?
We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

Cura Alpha With New Tree Support 🎄
MariMakes posted a topic in Ultimaker Cura,
Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.-

Hi, I have moved your topic to the troubleshooting section.
Do you have a temp error in your bed or printhead?
Do you have an Olsson Block?
What happens when you leave your fans off?
Looking forward hearing from you!
