Hello everyone. I bought a Prusa i3x and after building it, I started on the long process of trouble shooting. I had a max temp hot bed error and found out that the wires were touching. After I pulled them apart, it fixed the error. My x-axis motor was going the wrong way so I followed the instructions and set the code from true to false. After I uploaded it, the LCD screen showed two lines across the screen and the extruder has a max temp error. I went into the coding and fixed the LCD screen but I cant figure out the extruder. On the LCD screen it says that the extruder is 500/0 degrees. I wiggled the thermistor out of the extruder head but finding nothing, I put it back in. I don't know if it is somewhere in the coding or if there is something wrong with the board itself. If you need more information, I will try to answer to the best of my ability. I think (hope) that this is the last thing in the way of an operational printer. All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Hi printjunkie,
500/0 degrees means currently 500 degrees, target =0 (not set).
Is this centigrade or Fahrenheit?
I assume the last one, otherwise you should have a MAXTEMP error.
Can you set the target extruder temp via the lcd? or does it return to zero again?
