Overheating hotend
April 04, 2015 06:44PM
Hi there,

About 40 minutes into a print, the extruder motor stopped working, and the hotend thermistor abruptly dropped from 210C to 150C, pic here.
Sure enough, a few seconds later the hotend started to smoke and drip plastic.

Any ideas what might be causing this issue?

P.S. I've thoroughly checked the thermistor for any shorts and that it is in fact secured in the heat block.
