Topic: Unable to reach 250 degrees

I have been printing with PLA since I got the printer, so I set my printer to 210 and that worked out fine. Once I got some ABS, I tried printing at 250. The printer would go fine until it reached 236 and the it would stop and start to drop. I am using a e3d v6 and the original solidoodle board.

Re: Unable to reach 250 degrees

Sounds to me like you never flashed the board like you were supposed to. That also means you've ben running on the wrong thermistor setting.

Good times.

A little toasty for abs IMHO. I run 205-215 (maybe at most 220 to get those layers together) but I'm pretty new still.

You're using a completely different hotend which measures temperature in a different location.
