Topic: Heat extruder not heating

Hey guys so I have a tech that made a solidoodle 2.

I have never used a 3D printer, but I have been troubleshooting the past few days.

Current problem is the heat to the extruder is not warming up as fast as it has in the past. It started at 36degrees and after an hour 45degrees.

I have attached a photo of repetier,
On te command line it states echo: actie extruder 0
I have checked the voltage of the hot end with a multimeter and it is runniń at 12.48V.

Any suggestions??

Your file didn't attach.  Make sure you click the "Attach Files" button after uploading your file, or else it won't show up on your post.  A picture of the temperature graph would be immensely helpful for this though, so you are definitely on the right track!

First post - you won't be able to upload files or post links just yet, mgrude. 5 or 10 it comes alive I think.
For now, upload the image to a sharing site such as imgur and type the link in for us... smile
