Would reworking and printing a new cooling fan shroud to direct fan output more to the bed be a solution as shocksofmighty points out above. I recently just added heat-resistant cotton around my hotend. This makes quite a large difference. The stock cooling system isn't really all that well designed...

Ah Ok, didn't have the firmware open to check. Looking at the firmware now the lines I hashed out were under Thermal Settings in Configuration.h where reference to a 4th sensor were mentioned. //PJP - These values are taken from the 3DP12 firmware available online #define TEMP_SENSOR_0 3 #define TEM...

No such issues, but most likely related to your heated bed since that seems likely to be the difference between the two protocols. It is possible that it is a different thermistor type on your heated bed. Check the values from the original firmware and see if you might need to change that. Hi shock...

Having a problem with "Thermal Runaway, Reset Printer." when printing PLA. No problem printing with PET-G. Only occurred since upgrading from Hictop provided firmware to recent Marlin RC version 7 or 8 I think, via shocksofmighty. No problem prior to firmware upgrade. This is slicing via C...

Hictop Firmware sets 398 for leadscrew printers afaik, name of Hictop firmware supplied with leadscrew printers Marlin_3DP??_398.cpp and it's a lot closer than 2560 which dmkmedia has in his firmware posted above. Using 398 myself and more than satisfied with z action and print quality. But may try ...

Neil, the firmware fixed it for me. I was intending to unwrap the filament alarm lead from the bundle to the extruder as mentioned in a my post earlier but when reading how old the Marlin firmware from Hictop is I decided to hit that first, thanks to shocksofmighty. The firmware's provided a number ...

Hi, thanks for reply, just wanted to say thanks for the firmware source, I went for it on my 3DP-17 and it solved all the filament change alarms, filament alarm section was already enabled in the firmware and to test I didn't comment it out. So finally did my first unattended print, really pleased. ...

shocksofmighty, do you think your firmware would work on a 3DP-17 auto bed level, filament alarm, lead screws on z axis? I'm having real problems with random 'change filament' alarms repeatedly through any print, sometimes as many as 20 or so, Hictop support have been responsive, sending me firmware...
