Pt100 trouble after upgrading UM2 to UM2+

Posted (edited) · Pt100 trouble after upgrading UM2 to UM2+

As the title says, i just upgraded the UM2 to UM2+ and everything looked good at the beginning. Then the Pt100 of the hotend started to fail and I got Error1. I am pretty sure that it is a problem with the connector on the sensor, not the sensor itself.

The approach "Make sure the cable is connected and check if none of the thin wires has come loose." just does not cut here I think.

Things I did so far/noticed:

-I switched TEMP1 and TEMP3 and I get a 0° readout when I connect the hotend temp sensor to the TEMP3

-There is a squeaky noise when I plug in TEMP1

-I measured the resistance of the temp sensor and it is 108 Ohm as it should be, however I needed to apply some force on the connector in order to get a read out

Thank you for any help you can offer :)

    Quick Update: The sensor has a loose contact somewhere which explains why I was able to measure the 100 Ohm once but it's not working most of the time. We are getting replacement parts.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
