  • Sounds like a thermal runaway where a temperature changed too quickly and the code interpreted that as a fire or risk of fire and shut down. A lot of times that can be helped with a silicone sock and a PID tuning. Another thing is the ceramic heater core is going bad and it can’t keep a stable temp above a point. Heater cores are cheap and easy to change. The heater core is considered a consumable part and usually comes in multiple packs.





  • PETG is picky about layer heights and speed.

    Thick and slow for PETG. I usually double my layer height vs what I would print in PLA. With my .6 nozzle I print with .3 layer and cut my speed down to 50% for the first layer. Since you said it happens mid print you might be printing too fast for the first few layers and it is getting too high because the layer is not cooling enough and it starts curling. You can also try reducing flow if your nozzle is worn and it’s allowing more plastic than the sclicer expects which will cause too high layers and scraping.

    Oh and it sounds like it’s too hot too. 80° bed in a enclosure could cause the chamber to get too hot and not allow the layers to cool fast enough and so you will see curling while printing. Lower the bed to 40-50 and monitor chamber temps. Maybe open the doors a crack. You only need an enclosure for PETG if the room is drafty.




  • Been using it for awhile now. Do we have a way to use our phones as the play yet? I want to be able to listen on my phone with headphones or even in my car with Android Auto. I would love to be able to delete my Spotify app. I still use the service because the radio feature is still much better than MA. But once I can do everything that Spotify can be I can cancel my Spotify account.
