So don't try the SunLu PLA+, you'll waste your money.

That's too bad to hear. I've noticed some quality issues as well. I've had a few good rolls of SunLu PLA+ from last year, but it would seem that more recent batches have started to slip.

Sorry for not showing back for two weeks but I had got a lot of work to do.
What I can say about this problem. After I've got my 24V heater bed, the VIN is not decreasing anymore.
But now I got another problem which I realy not understand what to do and why it's causes.
At the beginning everything is fine and it's printing realy well but then after maybe 3-5 minutes the filament don't get through the hot end - if I pull it a bit back ( 1cm ) and then push it back in it will resume printing. What could that be and how can I fix this issue?

@dc42 oh ok I think than I have also to send back the chimera that i bought 😞
Thanks a lot I order it right now 🙂

Ask E3D or their distributor if you can just swap the heater cartridge they supplied with the Chimera for a 24V one.

There are no words to describe how thankful I'm for your hint. I make some research and found that "2x30W Heater cartridges (12V/24V)" I think that means it supports both so i can change the hot end and kick that tronxy shit away.
Hopefully I get my first print after that.

@jrow said in Attempt to move motors when VIN is not in range:

@jrow ok, so I had 2x24v fans using a voltage step up converter on the 12v rail ... been working fine for a while. But after shutting down, during a travel move, this rail appears to have suffered. I unplugged the fans and V12 is back to 12.2v.

And after successfully moving, I plugged the fans back in, and V12 didn't dip. However, turning the machine off, then on again produces the same problem, and unplugging then plugging the fans in again resolves it.
