MK4 Heated Bed LCD Temperature Mesurements Seem to be Incorrect.
I had some warping of corners on parts which were "close" to the outer edges of the heated bed, but when I printed the parts directly in the center of the heated bed, warping did not happen. I made sure the heated bed and the textured sheet was perfectly clean. I was using PETG, starting the first layer at 85C then dropping back to 65C for the remaining layers. So I sampled various heatbed temperature settings using a small point thermocouple probe on my Fluke 17B+ multimeter to make the measurements:
I chose to sample around the middle of the bed and the front right of the bed ( yellow X's):
I made measurements from 65C to 100C, dialed in on the MK4 LCD panel. My results:
-------------------------------------------
MK4 Center Right Front
LCD Probe Probe
Setting Reading Reading
-------- ------------ ----------
65C 54C 53C
70C 56C 58C
75C 60C 63C
80C 64C 68C
85C 68C 72C
90C 72C 77C
95C 76C 82C
100C 80C 86C
---------------------------------------
It appears the LCD heatbed temperature does not match my probed temperature by quite a bit.
I confirmed the accuracy of my probes by screwing the V6 nozzle temperature probe (blue box) into the hot end instead of a nozzle, while simultaneously pressing the Fluke probe onto the hot end. The MK4 LCD and my probes all measured almost the exact same temperatures across a range of MK4 Nozzle heat temp settings.
The heat bed and heat bed thermistor (installed at factory) are brand new from Prusa and had never been used.
I wish there was a way in the LCD settings panel to add "offsets" to apply to the heatbed temperature to bring it more in-line with the correct temperature. Without this a guess I will have to skew my temp settings in the slicer, specific to my MK4?
