I guess I will eventually upgrade the board and the power supply. For now, I will stay with the 25W heater cartridge for the E3D v6.

It's not that the PSU can't handle it assuming it operates at its rated capacity.  There's the problem and although it will work and I have a local friend that ran one exactly that way.  That PSU is maxed out and tends to need constant repair.  The wires going into the PSU routinely need to be soldered.  The LED's Flicker and VREF's tend to be finicky to adjust.  We replaced to a bigger PSU and all problems went away.

What happens if using the stock power supply with the 40W (red) heater cartridge? It will require full current of 3.33 amps vs 2.08 amps for the 25W heater. The power supply can't supply the extra 1.25 amps needed? It seems that upgrading the header connector on the board to one that can handle 4 amps would do it, since the mosfet can handle the extra current.

Also, do you know how much current/power does the stock bed heater uses for an SD4?

Hey Random,

Have you had any issues with the SD4 + E3Dv6? You did the E3D v6 upgrade while keeping the stock power supply and the stock board.
I am in the process of doing the same so I want to ask if you have seen any power supply issues, since the E3Dv6 hotend draws more current than the stock hotend.
From what I read on this forum, I see that most people that do the E3D v6 upgrade, also upgrade the power supply. I don't think this is necessary, but some confirmation would be nice!

Thanks!

All problems was all firmware related.

That being said your printer will be much happier with more power.  For less than $30 the SuperNight PSU has proven to be a worthy upgrade.

It was the wrong firmware version I was using, and switching to this https://github.com/ozadr1an/Solidoodle- … in_v1_beta fixed the problem.

I'm not discussing your error, I'm discussing a potentially hazardous condition you've created by taking your thermistor beyond its rated limits.

Didn't think about that, I'll order a replacement.
In the meantime I would like to use the stock SD4 thermistor, as I know it working(And safe).
But what type do I select in the firmware?

If I use the stock thermistors, what type do I need to select in the firmware?

Those thermistors are irreversibly damaged at even a few degrees over 300C. If it overshot at all on the way to 300C, then it is now reading inaccurately.

That max temp of 350 is a recipe for disaster too.

The thermistor is working fine.
It extruded fine at 245C, I just forgot the old hotend was off by about 30C, so the 220C was not enough.

Aren't there a way to receive better error messages?

Edit: It's extruding fine on 245C.

Edit2: When I try to print using Octoprint, I get this message after it's warm up:
