Need help tuning temperature

dc42

You can either use a target temperature lower than 240C in the M303 command, or you can use the M143 command to increase the temperature limit. If you don't already have a M143 command in config.g then the temperature limit will be 263C.

I think measurements are incorrect - i use chinese 100k sensor. It was working fine with arduino ramps board. heating to 210 degrees took a 2 minutes or so.

when i try to calibrate it stops at 263, but real temperature is less than that. (less than 30 sec).

is there a way to manually calibrate the thermistor?

The B value of 1800 in your M305 P1 command is much lower than normal, which would explain why the temperature is over-reading. For most thermistors it is between 4000 and 4500.

Do you have any data on the thermistor, or the temperature Vs resistance table that you were using before?

You can calibrate it manually if you have a way of reading the hot end temperature accurately, such as a thermocouple probe inserted into the hot end, and a multimeter to measure the resistance. Or you can do it without the multimeter like this. Set the temperature limit much higher using M143 and set the temperature until you get a reading of around 230C on the thermocouple. Turn the heater off and send M305 P1 Bxxx commands with different values of xxx until the temperature reading you get matches the thermocouple reading.

Well, i changed B value to 4250. temperature does not jump but M303 gives error

The default temperature limit is 262C and if you have a powerful hot end heater, it's not impossible that when the heater is turned off upon reaching 240C it overshoots to 262C. So you can either use the M143 command to increase the temperature limit, or use a lower target temperature in the M303 command.

many thanks for product and support!

David, thanks for input.
With M303 H1 S200 it (at least) completed calibration.
Log is below. However it says that temperature might reach as high as 855
should i keep results or do some other calibration?

what would you recommend?

many thanks!

Keep the results. A lot of users get that warning since E3D started supplying silicone socks with their hot ends.

ok, i want to share my hotend view and technology.

how do you upload pictures here?

Any way to get that message to stop flooding the PanelDue Console?

You should only get it once.

It seems to repost everytime a change to config.h is made that is why I was seeing it over and over again in the PanelDue console
