Ender 3 v2 temp fluctuations every 10 minutes or so
I have an Ender 3 v2 that will fluctuate the hotend temperature every 10 minutes or so and eventually causing thermal runaway. I have tried the PID auto-tune a few times and it seems to solve it for a couple of days. Any idea what’s going on?
Today…

Random hot-end temperature spikes
I've been having issues with thermal runaways lately due to random temperature spikes on my Ender 3.
I figured it was out of calibration so I did a PID tune and still had issues. I then replaced the thermistor and I'm still having issues. I'm going…

Does additional thermal runaway in OctoPrint add anything and shouldn't it use a smart plug to kill power instead?
With the following thought in mind: 'Two eyes are better than one' does additional Thermal Runaway detection in OctoPrint add any benefit?
This OctoPrint-ThermalRunaway Plugin seems to add a basic ThermalRunaway detection in OctoPrint. I understand…

What is the acceptable resistance of a functioning heater cartridge on my Creality Ender-5 Pro printer?
It has been suggested that I measure the resistance of the nozzle heater on my printer since I've had some thermal runaway errors. The machine is brand new. I have done so by connecting my multimeter across the two pins on the connector. I get a…

What is causing the thermal runaway error E1?
I just acquired a new Creality Ender 5 Pro. It was assembled very easily. Today I tried my first print - the Dog demo that came on the MicroSD just to see how it worked. It is a 2.5 hour print.
While I was preheating there was a thermal runaway…
