Topic: bed temp

Before I even load a object in RH , I preheat the bed. Then I slice.When the bed reaches 95,  I see a lot of fluctuation , won't hold steady. Then when  hit run job , most of the time it will drop  of couple of degrees and then rise back up.  Very annoying.
Anybody else experience this? I have a SD3 .

SD3, E3D hotend,linear bearing on x/y axis',pillow block bearing on y conneting rod, ball bearngs on front y axis, fan on y stepper motor.

Re: bed temp

A few degrees of variance on the bed temp won't significantly affect your prints.

  Another vague useless response...anyone besides me surprised shitless.


Assuming it is properly enabled in your firmware...I've posted a how to several times the instruction "for after" the firmware is un-commented correctly: Google "Jeffery Sanders PID bed auto-tune" or something like that...and I am sure it will pop up 80)...not to mention it tell you how-to in the firmware comments right below where you need to remove the // to enable  PID bed temp control.

Ya...Lawsy's "updated firmware" had this patched in from the main repo months ago (that's how I knew to buy a Fotek SSR to use on the QU-BD SilMat  heater...which was a godsend for print adhesion on 2+ hour prints)

Re: bed temp

It might have been more helpful if you had pointed him to a URL that contained the instructions for doing the PID autotune...

Re: bed temp

it's in the config.h

M303 E1 C8 S90

C cycle 8 times
S 90 temp



But you'll probably have to turn on that define at compile time.
