Hi, I have a 1.3.1 gen 7 board. The heatbed lost connection and there was a burning smell from the board. After closer inspection I found the white plug has melted through and the pin isn't making connection anymore.. Is this a known problem or is it the 34 degrees C ambient temperature I am printing in causing heat issues with the board? Suggestions for larger plug or more heat resistant plug? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?181,178842,178842#msg-178842 Mon, 07 Sep 2026 05:40:45 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?181,178842,214347#msg-214347 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?181,178842,214347#msg-214347
@Traumflug: You're quite right: the holes are indeed there (I'm embarassed I missed them). The only catch is that I needed to widen the diameter of the holes to accept the through-hole leads of my new headers. That was no big deal though - a 1.2mm drill bit did the trick in my case. Good job and thanks for your help!]]> dslc Next Wave Electronics Working Group Sat, 01 Jun 2013 17:57:22 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?181,178842,213223#msg-213223 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?181,178842,213223#msg-213223 Traumflug Next Wave Electronics Working Group Wed, 29 May 2013 06:34:45 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?181,178842,213113#msg-213113 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?181,178842,213113#msg-213113 Phizinza Next Wave Electronics Working Group Tue, 28 May 2013 21:49:58 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?181,178842,212897#msg-212897 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?181,178842,212897#msg-212897 Also look into upgrading ( cutting traces and adding wires in order to have the thermistors be powered my 5V vsb :p

I've tried Farnell and Radionics - digikey / mouser have too high postage costs / minimum orders.

P.S. The alternative heated bed connectors suggested on the Wiki ( [reprap.org] ) have the incorrect pitch. (I'll try to fix if I have time.)]]> dslc Next Wave Electronics Working Group Tue, 28 May 2013 10:29:31 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?181,178842,179605#msg-179605 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?181,178842,179605#msg-179605 terramir]]> terramir Next Wave Electronics Working Group Sun, 27 Jan 2013 00:41:33 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?181,178842,179048#msg-179048 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?181,178842,179048#msg-179048
I'll have to get a screw terminal as I soldered it and it is clean.

Thanks.]]> Phizinza Next Wave Electronics Working Group Thu, 24 Jan 2013 17:26:03 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?181,178842,178898#msg-178898 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?181,178842,178898#msg-178898 -------------------------------------------------------

Do you mean the connector for the power source or the output connector?
In my case i use screw terminals. They should work up to 10A.]]> Rodscher Next Wave Electronics Working Group Thu, 24 Jan 2013 07:28:03 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?181,178842,178897#msg-178897 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?181,178842,178897#msg-178897
- Make sure the crimp connectors are clean and soldered to minimize electrical resistance.

- If this still doesn't work, consider a screw terminal. The holes in the PCB are already there.]]> Traumflug Next Wave Electronics Working Group Thu, 24 Jan 2013 07:27:54 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?181,178842,178842#msg-178842 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?181,178842,178842#msg-178842
