I have a strange issue that is happening. I have an old SD3 and when I update my extruder temp to 225 C my machine will stop print in a 5-10 seconds. This has happened 5 times in a row. I know that the temp shown is off because of poor SD3 design with thermistor location but I find it strange of this happening so often.
MAX TEMP. Cut out on an SD3 is 215 or 220 it's a safety feature to prevent melting the PEEK hot end.
Not strange at all I had the same issue printing ngen a couple weeks ago setting the temp to lower did the trick.

How can you change that high temp setting for the Max Temp?
You change it by flashing the firmware...but this is not advised unless you upgrade your hot end!
^ that
I'm going to move this out of the XYZ section since it's an SD printer.
what the others have said...
the MAX temp is set low on stock SD hotends on purpose - to prevent damage to the PEEK liner.
If you want to increase it, it would be best to upgrade to a hotend that can handle it, such as E3D. Both the v6 and the lite6 (budget friendly) are great hotends.
To add to hearless' comment, the ED3 lite while being a great economical hot end is still limited to 230c. and a Ed3 6 is limited to 300c with a thermistor. Higher temps are required by the high end high strength material such as colorfabb xt , and nylons.
If all you want need to print . is abs and pla a lite is plenty. Also the colorfab NGeen will print at the upper limit of most printers.

Points of clarification the E3d Lite6 is good up to 250 degrees.
The regular V6 can handle temps higher than 300 degrees if properly equipped with a thermal couple. Regular thermistors fail at just above 300 degrees but the V6 is just fine.
Sorry ward for the mis info on the lite. and failed to mention the thermocouple option.

No need to apologize
