Toolboard 1LC operaturing temp / using in heated enclosure?
-
Is there any issues with using the 1LC in a heated enclosure?
I'm wanting to setup an accelerometer to work on some ghosting/ringing issues via Input Shaping. I might save a few bucks if I just get a LIS3DH board but it would be about 5 ft of wiring so CAN connector seems like an easier/better option. Using the 1LC to simplify the wiring at the hot end would be a bonus.

You only need to have the accelerometer connected when doing the measurements and not during actual prints. Does that negate your desire to have it in a heated enclosure?

@wwak84 I've had my toolboard reporting a temperature of 80ish degrees and it's fine. I have one fitted to both my v0.1 and v2.4 and they're enclosed with the beds running at 110 for ASA

@phaedrux My main concern was cost efficiency - getting everything to connect just an accelerometer would be maybe half the cost or more of of the tool board based upon initial pricing research. Plus connecting the tool board seems easier with the CAN connector then the added bonus of having all the connectivity for the hot end right there. Just wondering if the toolboard will be fine in a heated enclosure before I decide on which route to go.
Thanks @jay_s_uk for the info. I think I will go with the toolboard based upon your report.

@wwak84 dc42 has stated that 80 (or maybe 85) degrees is fine for the toolboard. CAN-FD is definitely the way to go if your board supports it

Thanks again @jay_s_uk , yes I am going to be using the 6HC so CAN FD will be available. What did you use for wiring? I'm guessing shielded is better than unshielded but maybe not necessary?
I have a bunch of 24 AWG wire I can twist and will have 22 AWG 4p leftover from wiring steppers. Also some CAT cables lying around that can be used.

@wwak84 on my v2.4 I just used some (possibly 24 awg) wire that i twisted as a pair. I've done that for fairly long runs of a couple of metres without issue.
On my v0.1 I used some twisted pair from a stranded cat5 cable -
@jay_s_uk Great, I appreciate the info, should make for an easy start getting things going
