Hictop 3dp-17 Both thermistors reading 0
Posted: May 28th, 2017, 11:48 am
Hi,
I have what I think is a very strange issue. It all started when I upgraded the firmware on my printer because the stock firmware it came with had issues. I don't believe it is the firmware as this was provided by another owner of a 3dp-17 printer and it works fine for him and others.
The problem I have is at some point while I was leveling the bed the thermistors started reporting strange values. The bed read 0 and the hotend read 150 at room temperature. After some investigating and help from the guy I got the firmware from, I decided it was the controller board that was at fault so I decided to replace it and see what happened. I replaced it and for 10 minutes all worked fine, both temperatures were reading correctly and I was happy. Then I leveled the bed again and now both temperatures read 0 at room temp. I am pulling out my hair over this one. I'm even considering a smoothieboard if I can't get this one working again.
If anyone has any suggestions of what I could try please help. Alternatively I'm open for suggestions of other controller boards. I just want my printer working again
Thanks
