Topic: E3dv6 temp is fluctuating.... then won't raise above 213.

E3dv6 hot end temp is fluctuating.... then won't raise above 213
I've rechecked connections, cleaned the nozzle and verified settings within repetier. Any suggestions?

your temp limit is set in the firmware have you changed the firmware for ed3 settings.?
after you reset firmware run a PID calibration.

have you followed ALL the steps of the assembly guide? http://wiki.e3d-online.com/wiki/E3D-v6_Assembly
Including Firmware Configuration?
Max temp should be set to 295C in the firmware (not really sure why this is not stated in the firmware configuration specifics, but further down in the PID tuning section - "...exceeding 295ºC will permanently damage the thermistor.")
