Temperature Tests
Next you will test that the heat bed and hot end heat up, select the “Control”, “Temperature”,
“Bed” then turn the knob until the bed is set to 70. Then go back to “Control”, “Main” then
“Info Screen”, you should see the heat bed temp set to 70c and you should see the temp start
to rise, while the temp is low check to see if you can feel the temp of the heat bed rising.
While the heat bed is heating the hot end temp should stay low and shouldn’t rise in temp
drastically. Once you know the heat bed is heating look at your hot end fan and verify that it
is turning, if it is not make sure your hot end fan is connected directly to the power supply or
the Power input of your ramps board.
Go back to “Control”, “Temperature”, change
the bed temp to 0 then change the hot end
temperature to 190c. Now go back to the
“Info Screen” and verify that the hot end temp
is rising.
Now you
can install
filament
into the
extruder, pull back on the Guidler with your thumb, thread
the filament past the MK7 Drive gear and into the PTFE
tube, continue to push the filament until the filament stops
at the nozzle then release the Guidler. Now is a good time
to clean up the wiring of your printer, use the zip ties to
keep them out of the way and neat. Make sure you leave
enough slack so the extruder can move all the way right
and left, the heat bed can move forware and back and the
X axis can move up and down.
