			<description><![CDATA[<p>Seriously - even <strong>with</strong> UL certification, there are some things I just will <strong>not</strong> leave on all day while I am not home.<br />Kitchen range for example, or the coffee pot, or toaster oven. Hell, I even find it difficult to leave the crock-pot running when I am not home, and those are designed to run for hours and hours unattended.</p><p>My printers have been gone over - built or re-built with a careful eye/hand towards everything being assembled well and using quality parts. But that still does not negate the possibility of one catching fire. </p><p>I have been sitting here and had a power glitch happen - very brief outage - printer stopped moving, heaters remained on, plastic melting away... </p><p>No amount of firmware updates are going to correct that kind of issue. The <strong>ONLY</strong> thing that corrected it was me being here and killing power to the printer.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>The motors are never the cause of the fires though. It&#039;s always the hot end. The logic freezes due to a power glitch, static, or any other reason. At that point temps are no longer monitored but heater is on. It will continue to heat until it, the wiring, or other burns open. That&#039;s why safeties need to run independently of firmware or processor on a correctly designed system. </p><p>You keep wording things like there are written rules to follow. Unless a product has a certification like UL or ETC,&nbsp; then there are no rules and you buy it knowing that it has not met any testing other than the makers and may or may not be safe.</p><p>If you want the safest then you as a buyer look for certifications which most printers don&#039;t have. Otherwise you just have to hope be mindful of your machine.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>And the logic locks up because of what ?<br />Bad Arduino board ?&nbsp; Dont think so.<br />Poorly installed hardware and bad wiring ? But thats a MFG or user issue and it can happen to ANY electronic device.<br />Everything else is a firmware fault.</p><p>With that said<br />RULE #1 check the wiring and secure all screws upon receiving.<br />RULE #2 make sure firmware has protection for over/under temp, even for prolonged homing. Sometimes switches go dead and homing is impossible, yet motor will crank forever. My printers firmware has protection even against that.</p><p>With that said, UPDATE your firmware.</p>]]></description>

Don&#039;t run it when away or asleep either. WHEN the logic locks up, not IF the system will go into thermal runaway and the heaters will continue to heat until something burns up and opens. Now how much burns down before that happens is anybodies guess. </p><p>Until they redesign boards and logic so there are watchdog circuits included that run independent of the processor and firmware there will always be a danger of thermal runaway.</p><p>Ideally all boards should have a supervisor circuit that runs independent of the processor and firmware that monitors the heartbeat of the CPU and checks that firmware is executing. IF either stop the supervisor will try to reset the board which should kill everything back to idle. If that fails it cuts AC power to the system. </p><p>This would add more expense to the boards and well we all know how most of these boards being Chinese are made as minimal as possible to save cost.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>While that is certainly a useful feature, never print unattended. There are a variety of conditions where thermal runaway could go undetected, especially at the HotEnd (which is the most likely origin of most 3d printer fires) as the temperature sensors are constantly in motion. Proper wire strain relief reduces the likelihood of this occuring, but doesn&#039;t eliminate it. </p><p>Additionally weird quirks such as momentary power outages are not handled well by many boards. I had a Samguinololu board freeze with a brief power blip with all fets in the ON position. Resetting the board solved the issue, but had I not been there, thermal runaway protection would have failed to stop a fire as the firmware was clearly no longer executing its main loop and the board processor wound up in an inconsistent state. A UPS with high sensitivity to power variation at the mains would likely remove this potential vulnerability.</p><p>I use this UPS. It is very important that you get a pure sine wave UPS or you may not like the reaction of your power supply when battery power kicks in. Square waves are a very inefficient signal source for most power supplies as they are designed under the assumption of a mostly perfect sine wave. <br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00429N19W/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0042 … &amp;psc=1</a></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>The possibility of 3D printer catching fire usually DOES NOT depend on a particular manufacturer of printer, because most manufacturers are using the similar parts. Instead, the possibility of fire usually depends on the version of firmware that is installed ! More recent firmwares are more advanced and have the additional protection measures – like against a thermistor coming off place. For example, below you can find a commit message 43c298a (dated Jun 30 2014) from a Marlin Firmware repository. My cheap Chinese 3D printer (with Atmega 1284P) had a slightly older firmware version installed, so I had to update its’ firmware to enable this “Thermal Runaway Protection”! Always update a firmware of your 3D printer!!!</p><p>/*================== Thermal Runaway Protection ==============================<br />This is a feature to protect your printer from burn up in flames if it has a thermistor coming off place (this happened to a friend of mine recently and motivated me writing this feature).</p><p>The issue: If a thermistor come off, it will read a lower temperature than actual. The system will turn the heater on forever, burning up the filament and anything else around.</p><p>After the temperature reaches the target for the first time, this feature will start measuring for how long the current temperature stays below the target<br />minus _HYSTERESIS (set_temperature – THERMAL_RUNAWAY_PROTECTION_HYSTERESIS).</p><p>If it stays longer than _PERIOD, it means the thermistor temperature cannot catch up with the target, so something *may be* wrong. Then, to be on the safe side, the system will he halt.</p><p>Bear in mind the count down will just start AFTER the first time the thermistor temperature is over the target, so you will have no problem if your extruder heater takes 2 minutes to hit the target on heating.*/</p>]]></description>
