I’m not sure that too many of these printers are out in the wild yet but I’d like to inform people of an issue I came across. I’m sure those of you somewhat considering purchasing this printer are well aware of how the hot-end temperature tends to drift a good bit around its set point. To fix this you need to manually apply a different set of PID parameters. Which is all good and well..Unfortunately, much to my dismay I discovered they don’t actually solder the thermistor wires, they don’t even crimp them with metal ferules like many do. It would appear they simply heatshrink them and hope for the best. My temperature would read fine one moment, and then suddenly drop 20C or more. One print actually failed because of the thermistor dropout protection.Anyways, I took it apart to find the thermistor basically coming out of the heatshrink with little/no effort. I soldered it to the wires and wrapped it in a bit of kapton tape. It now sits nuts on at the set temperature. Much better!I’m having second thoughts about recommending this printer to anybody as a starter printer. The shoddy thermistor work could very well cause some serious issues. http://ift.tt/29JtlrE
