Hi

A couple of days ago the hotend wouldn’t heat up and i got a couple of errorcodes/warnings in the display. The bed heats up just fine, so i ordered a new hotend parts (heater, thermistor and a new aluminum block). Changed all of this, but still the same error. I can se that the thermistor works because it changes values in the display when touching the thermistor-end. Any good ideas why the heater doesn’t heat?

    That sucks. I have no clue about 3D printers and did no research before buying this one used. Worked OK for about 6 days… Well 80 bucks…

      You can get a new board for <$50 (you don’t need the same board that’s in the printer), spend an hour or two learning how to move the cables from the old to the new, and still have a pretty good deal

        I would 100% buy replacement parts IF i knew how to replace them, but to be honestbif I try I’ll probably end up with a bunch of scrap. At peast the trash print some ugly things

          Nahh, just take parts out and lay every part side by side, and just put them back in reverse order… And, take some pictures underway of where all the connectors are connected. You can do this. Hell. i don’t know what I’m doing and I’m gonna at least try…
