try a lower setting on a test print see what happens . Or like mentioned earlier  check your firmware settings.
But before you increase firmware temp limits make sure your hardware can safely do what you are asking it to.

You may also need to change the selected thermisistor in firmware . IIRC you modded a printer to ramps?

Also, have you used a separate thermometer to see what the actual temp is?

Just a newbie myself, but that would be where I would look first.

couldn't get it to stick to the bed...but that's ok, I went thru the forums, changed the bed temps....no better, so I got to tinkering, and discovered a few things...my bed was getting way too hot, but the pronterface was reporting it wasn't hot enough, yet...pulled out my trusty meat thermometer, and discovered the extreme discrepancies between reported and actual temps...so, the question is...how do thermistors fail....do they gradually get out of whack, before they give up the ghost, or is it a works or don't work thing?

afik, it was working correctly with pla...the bed seemed reasonable hot when I set it to 60C, and the prints stuck like glue...until they cooled down a bit, then they released...Sonneries Gratuites
but as soon as I tried to heat the bed to 110C, my troubles started...the thermistor refused to report anything higher than 80 some odd, and it varied...84 sometimes, 79 others...when the bed itself read 120 degrees....new thermistors on order, but until that time...any ideas, any hints...anybody else experienced anything similar?
