Repsnapper Extruder Heat Issue I have kind of a strange issue, and not one I've seen anyone else have so far. I'm trying to use repsnapper and for some reason after I got my nozzle hot and send a print job my heating element is shut off, so the printer goes through the motions, but of course no plastic is extruded. I've tried using a separate power supply just to the extruder, to be sure it had plenty of current and that didn't help, so all I can figure is it's something to do with the software itself. I haven't had a chance to test it with the official reprap software because shorty after I noticed this I fried my extruder controller(replacement should be here today). If anyone has any thoughts I would really appreciate the help.

then heats up and moniter works when paused or on idle.

Any Ideas anyone ??? would be much appreciated , wasted hours and cant printed a thing. :-(

Repsnapper manual
M104 S215 ;set temperature (heating units - NOT actual degree centigrade)


I copy pasted the above from this site: [github.com]

So the "S###" Is not the Celsius temp, its just a unit.

Anyone know better? I havn't even started my reprap so you guys know better, but thats what i saw in the manual.]]> owism8 RepSnapper Wed, 20 Apr 2011 15:05:50 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?218,66919,70867#msg-70867 Re: Repsnapper Extruder Heat Issue https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?218,66919,70867#msg-70867 NewPerfection RepSnapper Tue, 18 Jan 2011 01:27:44 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?218,66919,70860#msg-70860 Re: Repsnapper Extruder Heat Issue https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?218,66919,70860#msg-70860 -------------------------------------------------------
> How do you save it?

This is an important question I'd love to know the answer to. Until we get skeinforge working reliably here, it'd sure be nice not to have to manually edit the gcode every print.]]> Nix-7c0 RepSnapper Mon, 17 Jan 2011 22:59:36 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?218,66919,67491#msg-67491 Re: Repsnapper Extruder Heat Issue https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?218,66919,67491#msg-67491 I can change this setting in the Gcode tab in Repsnapper but saving it simply prompts for a file name and location to save it to.

Is there a way you can set this as the default settings which get loaded automatically?]]> brad RepSnapper Fri, 03 Dec 2010 00:57:26 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?218,66919,67047#msg-67047 Re: Repsnapper Extruder Heat Issue https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?218,66919,67047#msg-67047 Bronston RepSnapper Fri, 26 Nov 2010 14:39:52 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?218,66919,67007#msg-67007 Re: Repsnapper Extruder Heat Issue https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?218,66919,67007#msg-67007
To fix that go to the GCODE tab, and look at the START tab

Look at the line where the M104 command is (You should have>>>> M104 S73.0)

Change the S73.0 to the extruder temp you want to use for printing.....I use 220 so mine looks like this

M104 S220.0

Save your settings so it does not revert back to 73 the next time to launch repsnapper

Hope this helps...........also a little tip....disable the temp update in the PRINT tab during printing to avoid communication errors.]]> CdnReprap RepSnapper Thu, 25 Nov 2010 14:35:29 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?218,66919,66963#msg-66963 Re: Repsnapper Extruder Heat Issue https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?218,66919,66963#msg-66963 Cefiar RepSnapper Wed, 24 Nov 2010 19:14:56 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?218,66919,66926#msg-66926 Re: Repsnapper Extruder Heat Issue https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?218,66919,66926#msg-66926
If it's Skeinforge, perhaps you are sending an M104 command to a lower temperature?

Check your temperature tab, and also the start.gcode file...??]]> araspitfire RepSnapper Wed, 24 Nov 2010 10:54:17 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?218,66919,66919#msg-66919 Repsnapper Extruder Heat Issue https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?218,66919,66919#msg-66919
