Re: Aluminium i3 extruder element issue (?)

Hello, so today I have received already spare heating element and in this case it seems to be OK, no connection between leads and housing. Seems that I really had just bad luck for two non compliant pieces. I have already the plastic distances for the board but first I will try to isolate the holes ...

Re: Aluminium i3 extruder element issue (?)

Hello, Thanks a lot for your effort. That means I have bad luck and have second new heating element shorted :( . And yes, I was measuring it completely isolated. The first one after removing from the hotend and disconnecting from control board and the second one (brand new) just after unpacking from...

Re: Aluminium i3 extruder element issue (?)

Hello. Thanks a lot. Meanwhile I have found the schematic on reprap.org. My control board says "Sanguinololu Rev.1.3a" and it is published here: https://reprap.org/wiki/File:Sanguinololu_1.3a.png. With the plastic distance it is a good idea, anyway in case that it is normal that the heating element ...

Re: Aluminium i3 extruder element issue (?)

My printer model is i3 prusa aluminium. Since it has the frame completely made from aluminium, all the parts fixed to it are on the same potential. The control board is fixed to the frame using four screws through holes in PCB which, as I think, are copper plated and on GND potential. Unfortunately ...

Re: Aluminium i3 extruder element issue (?)

It also seems to me incorrect. In fact I have on my desk a brand new extruder heating element (not installed yet) which shows zero resistance on one of the leads and approx. 4 ohms on the second one (both measured in reference to the extruder body), just like on the old extruder. So I was wondering ...

Aluminium i3 extruder element issue (?)

Hello everyone, I am a new owner of Aluminium i3. After assembling I have discovered weird issue: the heating of the extruder is on even if there is no command. It heats until overheating error is displayed. I have measured the heating element and it seems to be with one end shorted to ground. So if...
