			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>About 45 minutes into my last print job it started spilling again. But, the temp had somehow dropped from 260 (indicated) to 225 (the default)/ So, it seems that temp is indeed the culprit. Now I need to go into Simplify3D and find the firmware setting dfor default e temo and set it to 265 (240 in reality).</p><p>Also, I have an idea about the big temp disparity. I epoxied my thermistor with a glop of JB Weld high-temp epoxy. I painted over the thermistor and around the two other sides of the corner of the eater block (XY and Z), probably a spot about the size of a pea. I think that is holding or reflectig heat back in and, indeed, causing a hot spot around the thermistor. Not a biggie, now that I see what is happening, but a heads up for anyone wanting to do the same.</p><p>I know, epoxying your thermistor is not the kind of thing we want to go recommending normally but if the idea should occur to others, they need to know why. That and, it IS epoxying your dang thermistor!&nbsp; <img src="https://www.soliforum.com/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p>]]></content>
