A couple of questions Hello! I have a couple of questions I'm hoping people can help me answer. This weekend I'm planning to change to an E3D hot end and finally mount the hot end sensor I received from dc42 weeks ago, so I want to make sure I get it all right. What connector type does the sensor board use? I'll need some of the 2 pin connectors and pins so I can more easily swap between hot ends if need be. I've got a 12V 20A fanless power supply (I had a 24V 20A supply but that blew up and the seller sent me a 12V replacement in error then refunded me the difference). Is this beefy enough to crank up to 14V so I can attempt to get my 200x300 heated bed to reach ABS temperature? I'm using a single head, though I do plan to try a dual head setup when I can afford to splurge on a Duet 0.8.5, at which point I assume I will certainly need more amps. I can't get the bed much past 75C using the ATX power supply that came with the printer (it's an Ormerod 1). Here's the E3D mount I designed in case anyone finds it useful: RepRapPro Ormerod E3D Mount Many thanks! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,641143,641143#msg-641143 Fri, 11 Sep 2026 15:30:51 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,641143,646059#msg-646059 Re: A couple of questions https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,641143,646059#msg-646059 static65 Ormerod Tue, 29 Mar 2016 20:42:10 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,641143,641877#msg-641877 Re: A couple of questions https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,641143,641877#msg-641877

I'm using Simplify3D and have retraction set to 2.5mm, wipe distance set to 1.5mm and 'retract during wipe' enabled. I shall try increasing the wipe and/or retraction distance but if anyone has any pro tips for E3D hot ends they will be gratefully received! I also noticed there's a small amount of play in the bowden fitting at the top of the E3D hot end, so I'll see about tackling that as well.]]> static65 Ormerod Sat, 19 Mar 2016 07:52:04 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,641143,641491#msg-641491 Re: A couple of questions https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,641143,641491#msg-641491

My Ormerod sensor board uses Moles KK connectors. The part number for the 2-way shell is 22-01-2025 and the crimp pins are 08-50-0032. They are readily available from Farnell, RS etc. and on eBay.]]> dc42 Ormerod Fri, 18 Mar 2016 16:38:31 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,641143,641265#msg-641265 Re: A couple of questions https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,641143,641265#msg-641265
