I've been reading some issues regarding people using the wrong thermistor settings and how those settings are different between Marlin and Sprinter.
Maybe some of the trouble people are seeing is because they don't have the settings correct for their thermistor.
I'm also wondering if the reason my silicone heater created bubbles and lifted off the glass was because it got too hot.
Here is what I have.
Heat bed: Thermistor supplied from Mendelmax with hardware kit. Using setting 1 in Sprinter.
-Attached to underside of Glass with Kapton Tape directly in center of hole in the silicon heatbed.
Hot end: Thermistor supplied form Maker Gear with Hot end kit. Also using setting 1 in Sprinter. (I have not fired it up yet)
-Attached directly to side of brass .5mm print head and then wrapped with several rounds of Kapton tape.
Bed temp set to 60deg.
Hot end set to 185deg.
I will be doing some test prints in 3mm PLA tonight and I don't want to screw anything up.
I will be using a layer of blue painters tape on the glass for now until I get things working properly.
Here are a few of my Sprinter settings.
const int NUM_AXIS = 4; // The axis order in all axis related arrays is X, Y, Z, E
#define _MAX_FEEDRATE {500, 500, 5, 45} // (mm/sec)
#define _HOMING_FEEDRATE {1500,1500,120} // (mm/min) !!
#define _AXIS_RELATIVE_MODES {false, false, false, false}
#define MAX_STEP_FREQUENCY 30000 // Max step frequency
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
//// Acceleration settings
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// X, Y, Z, E maximum start speed for accelerated moves. E default values are good for skeinforge 40+, for older versions raise them a lot.
#define _ACCELERATION 2000 // Axis Normal acceleration mm/s^2
#define _RETRACT_ACCELERATION 2000 // Extruder Normal acceleration mm/s^2
#define _MAX_XY_JERK 10.0
#define _MAX_Z_JERK 0.4
//#define _MAX_START_SPEED_UNITS_PER_SECOND {25.0,25.0,0.2,10.0}
#define _MAX_ACCELERATION_UNITS_PER_SQ_SECOND {1000,1000,50,5000}
Before I fire this thing up tonight and ruin something else. Do I have those settings correct for the supplied thermistors?
And do you see anything that I'm doing wrong?
