Topic: Service Code 0014 after cleaning :(

So I finally decided to take the nozzle out and clean it using acetone and torch. All said and done I put everything back together, used high temp RTV silicone for the thermoster and get a 0014 error??? The manual states:

The temperature of extruder reach to warning range limited

What does that even mean?

Re: Service Code 0014 after cleaning :(

Your thermistor wires are exposed and shorted together or one or both is shorted to the heat block. A thermistor works on the principal that as its temp goes up its resistance goes down. The cpu interprets this drop in resistance as an increase in temp. If the thermistor is shorted externally or internally then it will be near zero which the CPU would read as a temp that is off the chart and give you the over temp error.

Thank you so much for such a quick response smile

Just checked the resistance on the heat-end wire, seems fine. I'll be checking the thermistor right now, I remember the wires being somewhat exposed, perhaps while putting it back in and applying the silicone made them touch. I don't believe the silicone I am using is conductive. Its Permatex red RTV high temp Silicone Gasket Maker smile

I think I might of exposed them while trying to remove it from the extruder.

The heater wires would cause a complete different problem. The body of heat block (that part the heater and thermistor are in) is electrically grounded. So if one of the thermistors wires is touching the body of the heat block without insulation it will appear to the CPU that there is little or no resistance and as I said the CPU will see this as the temp being way to high and give you the over temp warning which is what that code is. The wires could also be touching each other as well.

Heat block/nozzle made of brass? There's definitely wires being exposed on the thermistor, not sure if they are touching the heat block or each other however, its hard to pin point. How do you prevent them from touching anything, they are so small.

I was able to slide the insulation back on the exposed wire. Again I think during the removal of the thermistor I must of pulled the insulation back a bit and caused the wires to expose. Geez, anyone ever trying to clean these things, be vary cautious when it comes to removing the thermistor.

The wires should have some very thin Teflon sleeves over them that should slide right up to the body of the thermistor and still fit in the hole on the heat block. Yes the heat block is the brass part with the integral nozzle. I would suggest maybe going on ebay and buying a few spares. They are just the common 100K thermistor used in most open source printers and most of them have the sleeves and are pre-wired with longer heavier wire for making connections above the extruder. Just search 3d printer thermistor and make sure they are 100K.

dude!!! you're a 3D printer hardware genius!!! The Teflon sleeves slid right up to the body smile just waiting for the silicone to dry before handling anything. Will post back once everything is back in place, crossing fingers...

Re: Service Code 0014 after cleaning :(

Alright!!! Got everything put back, its currently heating up to load filament without any errors smile

Re: Service Code 0014 after cleaning :(

ok so everything is working fine, however printing the keychain once its towards the middle I hear several loud thuds and the prints goes all out of wack sad I don't know where the sound is coming from, but it only happens towards the end.

They keychain only takes about 15 minutes to print. What I do just to confirm if it is cartridge related is to stay with the printer reach up through the front door and keep pulling filament out by hand so it is never under tension from the head. If this results in no thuds or errors then you will know the cartridge is the source.

Re: Service Code 0014 after cleaning :(

I just had this problem occur and for me the fix was as simple as running a demo print to heat the extruder up. Then I cancel the print can sent the file to my printer. It's stupid and it doesn't make any sense but it works! I would look at it as a kind of preheating thing like with an oven. I also have to do this now to unload filament.

Re: Service Code 0014 after cleaning :(

Hi you all I have the same problem error 0014, temp of my extruder davinci1.0 remain to 10C, for some days the temp increase and decrease but at the end worked now nothing to do, it does not move over 10C, checked the wire of the thermal sensor they looks ok, the extruder become hot so the issue seems regards the sensor only.

I tried to shortcut the sensor wires to impose 0 resistance but nothing the temp remain 10C.

Re: Service Code 0014 after cleaning :(

10c is what a short would measure. Your thermistor needs to be replaced.

Re: Service Code 0014 after cleaning :(

Ok,
but I cannot figure it out how to replace it, the hole where is placed the sensor is complitely dark: you can see only the 2 wires go out.

There are some photos that show how to take the sensor out the extruder?

Re: Service Code 0014 after cleaning :(

I would also like to know how to replace the thermistor. (And part number?)
I just started seeing the temp change between [actual temp] and 10c.


Also : While I'm waiting to do the repair on the original extruder.  I'm going to put in the new extruder from xyzprinting.
Does anyone know the slic3r z-offset to be used with the new extruder that xyzprinting is selling? Its a different size than the original.

Thanks so much.

Cheers!

Re: Service Code 0014 after cleaning :(

The thermister is held in by the "leveling" screw next to the nozzle.  The only way to get it out is to remove the entire printing block, then it simply unscrews from above.  The silicone will have to be removed as well.

Re: Service Code 0014 after cleaning :(

The black paste is heat resistant Silicone. When you remove the litte screw from above you can carefully remove the silicone with a toothstick and then carefully pull on the two wires until the old Thermistor will come out.

When exchanging the Thermistor is important that you replace it with the same type/characteristics! Otherwise your temperature regulation is confused what will result in wrong values (too high or too low)!

I recently exchanged my stock Thermistor with this one: https://shop.stoutwind.de/Thermistor-mi … 0-K-radial - works very well and I've crossed checked the actual temperatures at the nozzle - all fine! I would recommend to order the temperature resistant silicone along: https://shop.stoutwind.de/Hochtemperatu … Gramm-Tube.

When you heat up the glued in new Thermistor the first time you will notice some little smoke, that is from the silicone - no worry it will stop smoking when it's fully cured!

Hope this helps!?

Re: Service Code 0014 after cleaning :(

So I plugged in a brand new extruder and I'm still getting Service code 0014. sad

When I turn it on it reports temps fine.  load the filament  (fine), start printing and about 2-3 mins into print get the error 0014 and the temp will be 10c.

Thoughts?  maybe a short?  Which wires should I check? Getting really frustrated .

[UPDATE:] Its a short in the wire harness that plugs into the extruder. (This looks like fun to replace.)
