			<description><![CDATA[<p>18v is the absolute maximum rating for the heater. This is due to watt density. I have confirmed this with the manufacturer. 24 volts would be quadruple the power, and as a result, quadruple the watt density. This would create localized hotspots in excess of what the insulation inside the heater can handle.</p><p>Cannot comment on the Youtube video without a link to see the specifics of what he&#039;s doing.</p><p>Motor brushes are not supplied as spare parts. Whole gearmotors are, and depending on availability just the motors upon special request.</p><p>The fans are 12 volts also, so you&#039;d have to swap them too. There is no reason to run the motor, fans, or stall protection board at higher than 12 volts. If more heater power is needed, get a 15 or 18 volt supply and use it to power the PID controller and heater. This has been done and discussed on the forums:</p><p><a href="http://www.soliforum.com/topic/12567/increasing-maximum-temperature/">http://www.soliforum.com/topic/12567/in … mperature/</a></p><p>18 volts is double the heater power that is produced at 12 volts. That is enough to get to ~400C, the thermocouple should be upgraded at anything over 260C as that&#039;s when the PTFE insulation starts to break down.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>One guy has been running the motor at 24v for a year, he wanted faster extrusion speed.<br />I guess he must not be near stall often then?</p><p>Where can you buy new brushes for the motor?</p><p>24V is not much higher, i would bet it works perfectly for the life time of a filastruder. The rating itself does not mean that nichrome wire is too tiny gauge to handle slightly (in this case 33%) higher voltages, albeit MTBF is going to be shorter ...<br />Perhaps get a replacement tho before trying how it functions.</p><p>So my question still remains, what is the maximum voltage for the anti stall PCB?</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>PID and heater is 12-24V rated, motor can run 24V (someone on youtube is doing that), but can the stall circuit work with 24V?</p><p>It would be convenient to convert to higher voltage if just the brick can be replaced <img src="https://www.soliforum.com/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p><p>This would allow me to run higher temps with nylon based material experiments .. and graphene, and some other fillers <img src="https://www.soliforum.com/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p>]]></description>
