Topic: Communication Cut Out

While trying to heat up my extruder and determine the proper temp for the filament. During this process my machine suddenly stops responding to the manual inputs. And the Extruder temp starts dropping. Any reason why this would happen. Driving me nuts right now. Have to disconnect machine and restart repetier host to get it to function again and that doesnt last too long.

Just wanna print and stay printing finding The abs I have been getting wont extrude under 220.

Thanks For any help.

Re: Communication Cut Out

Solidoodle has a temperature cutoff around 215-220C to keep from damaging the hotend.

ABS should print fine at 200C on a Solidoodle. They read a different part of the hotend than most manufacturers.
