Bed heat error (what is wrong with this picture)
I have just received a print bed heating error.
This is after having my machine for 6 months or so and working fine. I flipped it over and took off the bed to check it out as
per the support page. However my Heated bed thermistor is not in the same place as indicated on the images.
attached is a picture to show the placement. I received this assembled and have not touched it since. Is it me or is it in the wrong place

Hi Greg,
That thermistor is definitely the wrong place
it looks as if your thermistor wires have worked their way back towards the rambo board.
temporary cure,
remove cable ties, from heat bed cabl management
undo cable wrap from heatbed cablee bundle,
open rambo box,
ease the spare cable back into place so that the thermistor is back in the centre of the heatbed,
try and tack the thermistor back against the heatbed using the remains of the tape,
make sure the Nylon support filament is in the correct place.
re cable tie the cables in position, replace cable wrap, and re cable tie the wrap into position.
close rambo case,
make sure you still have full Y axis movement without excess friction
test printer
then
order some kapton tape
order some spiral braided cable cover
print a new cable clamp assembly, obtain extra nuts and screws,
when ready to rebuild,
dissassemble the heatbed and wiring,
replace existing tape and tape the full length of the thermistor wires to the cable cover area on the heatbed
attach new cable wrap,
fit new cable clamp,
ensuring cable wrap is trapped inside the clamp.
reassemble printer, ensuring that the cable ties are replaced to hold the cabling secure.
make sure you still have full Y axis movement without excess friction
test printer

Re: Bed heat error (what is wrong with this picture)
Thank you very much.
For some reason your answer seemed odd because I could not see how the wire could move. I tried and it didn't
However I did as you said and there you have it you were 100% correct and I have done as you
asked and I am now back online and everything is working perfectly.
Thank you again very much
Have a fantastic day
