Heatbed temperature cannot be increased to 110 degrees
I am printing with my new Mini+ since 3 months PLA and PETG with excellent results. Now I started with ASA and the outcome is not satisfactory. The first layer has holes because the filament is partly detached when the print nozzle moves. Furthermore due to significant warping during the print process at about 3mm height of the object the upper surface starts getting ruined. I reduced the printing speed and the print temperature from 260 to 270 degrees and the bed temperature from 100 to 110 degrees in the slicer. When printing the new print temperature of 270 is shown in the printer's display but the bed temperature remains at 100 degrees.
Is it possible to increase the bed temperature to 110 degrees with the Mini, respectively how can this be done? In general I have the impression that the bed temperature is generally much lower than set in the slicer and indicated in the display at least in the periphery of the bed. I can leave my finger on the plate set at 100 degrees at least an inch from the edge for minutes. Is this normal?
Thank you for any response,
Axel
RE: Heatbed temperature cannot be increased to 110 degrees
You're trying to push your Mini past it's specs. the maximum temp of the heat bed according to page 36 of the manual the maximum temp of the heat bed is 100.

RE:
At 100 degrees my preferred ASA would certainly warp heavily. I use Spectrum ASA 275 which is premium stuff from Poland, and having printed several kgs of that I am down to 60 degrees Celsius for the bed and 256 for the nozzle, both for first layer and rest of print; the results are spectacular. I have experimented with Extrudr ASA a while back and could not get to any satisfactory results so check your filament and the manufacturers´ recommendations.
Just my individual experience.
Feel free to post pics; your nozzle issues may well be the result from a bad Z calibration.

I try to give answers to the best of my ability, but I am not a 3D printing pro by any means, and anything you do you do at your own risk. BTW: I have no food for…
RE:
Hello, JustMe3D you wrote that you print asa 275. I purchased this material because the description of the features made it suitable for my project. Unfortunately, I have 2 major problems - the material is almost impossible to take off the Steel sheet. But what I really can't solve is that every print so far has cracked between layers. Can you please advise me what I'm doing wrong?

are you using an enclosure?
