Topic: Da Vinci minimaker no extruder heat after only 50hrs of print

Hi everyone, my minimaker extruder is not heating anymore. Everything else seems to work just fine. I have check and reconnect the extruders cables restart everything a few time, nothing happen with the extruder heat?
Any idea how to fix that?
Should I get it warrantied or just put it back in the box for a refund?
If it's parts related, are the replacement parts any better???

Thanks for the tips!

Re: Da Vinci minimaker no extruder heat after only 50hrs of print

After a little research, I've fix the problem : it's me buying an incompatible PLA spool from XYZprinting ! I bought a spool for their Color-Inkjet PLA 3D printer instead of PLA Jr.

That's is kindof dumb on my part, but it's not quite clear on the B&H Photo website, unless you read all the item description. I've just read the main title...

So it's quite restrictive for the filament choices that I can use for this printer. I'll try the Tag hack because XYZprinting product are not always available.

The spool hack with NFC tag and the NTAG Refill Tool did work wonderfully, now I can use all my spool ! Great !
