220V extruder ?

Hey there,

Running an upgraded printer with a DUET3d 2 wifi board.

I've got a customized extruder (not a typical heating block) which needs non-cartridge heating elements.

The suitable elements run on 220v.

Can I connect them to the board the same way I would connect a 220v bed heater?

Using a SSR and connecting to the E0/1 heaters ?

Thanks

You can connect them the same way as you would connect a 220v heated bed, through an SSR and using the E0/1 to switch it

Ok,

So I got it connected. Should I run the standard M303 and read the ADC ?

I ran it and it gave me almost the same readings when using a 12v heating element.

Good question, I don't know how much it should differ from each other. You would expect the hotend to heat up way faster, maybe overshoot a lot since a hotend is tiny.
