Topic: Burning Smell

Hi All,

I've got a Solidoodle 3, it's still working fine but I've started to notice a burning smell. It's not the smell of hot ABS and it seems to be coming more from the back of the unit. No burnt spots or melted parts on the board. Only upgrade is an E3D hotend, probably 2+ years ago.

Just curious if anyone had any insight?

Re: Burning Smell

Most likely candidate for burning is the bed heater connection at the board.  Pull it off and inspect along with the connection for the hot end.
