// When temperature exceeds max temp, your heater will be switched off.
// This feature exists to protect your hotend from overheating accidentally, but *NOT* from thermistor short/failure!
// You should use MINTEMP for thermistor short/failure protection.
#define HEATER_0_MAXTEMP 270
#define HEATER_1_MAXTEMP 245
#define HEATER_2_MAXTEMP 245
#define BED_MAXTEMP 200

What should I set the max temp to with the v6cano with its stock thermistor? 290/295?

I ordered new PTFE and everything to make a v6 volcano(except the fan) from Filastruder last night. Plan on using that in my new 3d printer, when I buy or build one, and continue using the lite6 on my i3, since I've got orders pilling up. Thanks for all the help!

No need for an auto tune as the thermal properties of the hotend are unchanged.

Everything went smooth, the only concern I have is when I pulled the PTFE out, it has black residue on it. After a very close inspection, I heed the warnings about PTFE very seriously, I could see that it wasn't melted and the inside of the tube wasn't damaged or discolored, only the outside from where it butts up against the nozzle up about 3-4mm. I can post a picture when I get home. I highest temp I ever run is some ABS at 235C and have only ever taken the hotend to 245C twice, to put on and take off the nozzle. Should I be running an autotune when I get the new PTFE?

That's what I read from elmoret's comment above. Please let me know if I'm wrong, and thanks for all the help!

The volcano and V6 use the same heatsink and heatbreak but the nozzles are different lengths.

If I get a volcano starter pack would I need to purchase the v6 heatbreak also, or is that for using the higher temps the v6 is capable of?
