Anyone found solution for longer prints with higher temp filaments? X1C will print nicely for a while but after a day or two of printing the heat gets to the head and the magnetic cover “flows” out of it’s position, the inserts “melt out” of their position … Weird that chamber temp is 55C only at that point not even 60C
Is there any solution for this other than doing only short prints with high temp materials?
chamber temperature (sensor is on the bottom of the box so not exactly near the head but it’s closed box so top can be few degrees hotter and that’s it, when this happened screen was showing 54C for the chamber)
The temperature at the top of the box is going to be quite a bit higher unless the chamber fan is running. And the temperature at the toolhead, under the plastic covers, is going to be even higher.
If the magnets are pulling out, get yourself some Cyanoacrylate glue (Crazy Glue), get the magnets out, then put a small drop of the glue on the back side and press the magnets back in.
If the cover is just coming loose, but the magnets are still in place, either one or more of the magnets is no good or one or more of the magnets are set too deep in the pocket. The faces of the magnets should be flush with the edge of the pocket they’re in, so when the cover is mated the magnets make contact. If there’s a gap, the holding power will be much lower, and magnets lose coercivity (magnetic property) as they heat up.
Dunno where the “Chamber temp” sensor is located but it shown 54C when the incident happened. I have all kind of glues here so next time it happen I’ll pay more attention … I just pressed magnets in by pushing cover in place, didn’t return glass for a while so it has time to harden/cool and it looks ok now, finshing that print… will inspect again after it finish.
Would be good if there would be a way to link chamber fan with chamber temp to turn chamber fan on if chamber is over 50C and then turn it off when chamber is under 47C for e.g. … dunno if that’s possible?
good to know so that’s basically at the top of the chamber showing the highest value of the chamber (of course inside printing head we have higher temp)
