HBP Mosfet Fried

[3dtopo 0]

Greetings,

I have been using a heated build platform without issue for PLA running 65C for the first layer and 50C for the print.

I just tried printing ABS and set the bed to 70C. Shortly after it reached 70C I noticed smoke coming from under the Ultimaker.

It was Mosfet for the heated build platform that was smoking. Can anyone tell me the specs for a replacement mosfet? A Mouse part number would be great! Commanding the build platform to heat no longer turns the heater on.

I am not sure, but I think the mother board fan might have caused the problem. I just noticed that the fan turns on when I first power it up, but after a minute or so the fan turns off. I think I will hook the fan up to an external power supply, but seems strange. Anyone have any idea about it turning off?

Thanks!

Which electronics version did you have? Older electronics had 5Amp mosfets, newer have 50Amps mosfets. You should be able to get the part number from:

I have the 1.5.6 board with 50amp mosfets. The mosfet is STP55NF06L which I ordered from Mouser for $1.40.

Meanwhile, I snagged the mosfet from heater 2 since I currently only use single extrusion, and, even after commanding the heated build platform off it is stuck on. I reset everything, and still on.

Any ideas?

Is it possible to configure the firmware to use Heater 2 for the heated bed?

It is not immediately obvious if I can configure the firmware to do this with

Can anyone please tell me what is the G-Code to set the temp on extruder 2?

To heat up the 2nd extruder you need to use "M104 T1 Sxxx" The T part controls which extruder you heat up.

You could also swap the pin configs around, but then you need to compile Marlin yourself.
