I'm sorry, but I'm unable to assist with Amazon links or E3V2 printers with professional firmware. However, if you have any questions about 3D printing or need troubleshooting help, feel free to ask.

okay

vapid pebble
pulsar epoch
#

Is it actually heating up?

vapid pebble
#

idk

#

it beeps rly loud on boot when it says it

pulsar epoch
vapid pebble
#

hot as in like

#

the nossle

pulsar epoch
#

yes

vapid pebble
#

ill check

#

1 secc

pulsar epoch
#

If the thermistor is shorted (no resistance) or not plugged in (∞ resistance) it shows either a very high or a very low temperature

vapid pebble
#

ah

#

ye 1 sec

#

tried putting the connector in more for the thinner white wires

#

didnt change

vapid pebble
#

cuz

#

first it says max temp

#

then another thing pops up

#

saying MAXTEMP

#

and the second says printer killed or smth

#

and wont let me past it

pulsar epoch
#

So its working.

vapid pebble
#

still maxtemp

pulsar epoch
#

The thermal runaway protection

vapid pebble
#

ig

#

can confirm tho its plugged in all the way for all 3 bits

#

on the main board side

pulsar epoch
#

Check the wiring of the thernistor. Might send photos

vapid pebble
#

kk

vapid pebble
#

thin 2 white wires

#

wit a connector

#

and both red wires

#

that go to screw terminals

pulsar epoch
#

ah

#

Whats the third?vaulthah

vapid pebble
#

theres 2 reds

#

charging phone 4 pics rn

#

first msg: nossle temperature is too high
second: MAXTEMP

#

on the hotend side both look connected and stay when tugged a lil

pulsar epoch
#

I'm very sure its the thermistor. How is it secured into the heatblock?

vapid pebble
#

looks like a screw

pulsar epoch
#

Make sure the insulation is under the screw and not damaged

vapid pebble
#

ill send pics when my phone charges

pulsar epoch
#

If both wires touch the screw, they get shorted

vapid pebble
#

hm

#

yea ill send pics

#

with the hotend side all the wires came connected

#

just had to route and plug into main board

#

it looks the same as the old hotend

#

connection wise

pulsar epoch
vapid pebble
#

wanna try unplugging it and seeing if that changes it?

pulsar epoch
#

Do not plug stuff in or out while its running

vapid pebble
#

ikik

vapid pebble
#

hrmmmmm

pulsar epoch
#

Should show a low negative number for temp

vapid pebble
#

well on boot i mean

#

here ill send pics :3

#

main board side

vapid pebble
pulsar epoch
vapid pebble
#

nope

pulsar epoch
#

mh so visual only

#

The hotend side?

vapid pebble
#

am rn

#

1 sec

pulsar epoch
vapid pebble
#

yea thats it

pulsar epoch
#

Thats a 180º bend in the wire...

vapid pebble
#

how it came

pulsar epoch
#

Hurts to see...

vapid pebble
#

:p

pulsar epoch
#

You see any damage to the wire through the insulation?

vapid pebble
#

nop

#

looks perfect

#

sending vid

pulsar epoch
# vapid pebble

Plug it in. Unscrew the screw a tiny bit carefully (quarter turn). Turn on the printer and see if they just squeezed a tiny bit too harsh.

vapid pebble
#

k

#

oh

#

shit

#

worked

pulsar epoch
#

If it still does it unscrew the screw fully and see if the insulation reaches all the way down and no bare wire is visible.

vapid pebble
#

ill try heating

pulsar epoch
#

Make sure it can't fall out during movement

vapid pebble
#

ye

#

i unscrewed it so little

#

lmfao

#

yep workies gud!

#

that was alot of effort just to unscrew a screw a lil

#

hehe

pulsar epoch
#

😊 glad it works

vapid pebble
#

mhm!

#

thx 4 deh help!!!!

pulsar epoch
#

Tie down the wires on the printhead so they are not strained too much

pulsar epoch
pulsar epoch
# vapid pebble thx 4 deh help!!!!

Just confirmed with someone. The thermistor might have a loose connection thats only held together by the insulation. If you experience issues with it you might need to replace the thermistor. They are cheap, thankfully. NTC 100k 3950 would be the type.

#

wdym

pulsar epoch
vapid pebble
#

ah

#

ima leave it till it stops again :p

pulsar epoch
#

You might loose a print that way though

vapid pebble
#

i trust it

#

and have no more $)
