Sota heat bed problem
Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2015 11:37 am
I've been printing semi-successfully with PLA and I'm again trying ABS - it's been a while since I used the printer.
Trying to set bed temperature to 110C but it just wont get there, crawls to a stop at about 105C
I'm running 12V supply and I have the thermistor type set to 4. It's fairly cold here (3.2C) but the room is heated to about 18C.
I seem to recall some complaints that the resistance of the Sota heatbed was too high but can't find a reference to this.
I do have MkII heatbed that I could install but I like the blue of the Sota - it matches the rest of the machine
Any suggestions short of running off 24V?
