How can i print with a "dead" bed???
Hi Guys!My Prusa I3 MK3 bed is broken. The bed heats up without control during the heat process for the mesh leveling.I´m in a hurry so is there any way to print with out heating the bed neither for the mesh leveling nor for the print it self? May be deleting de "G80 ; mesh bed leveling" from the gcode and setting 0 for the bed in print settings?Later i would check the sensor and may be change it.
Sorry about my english, its like my third language.
Thanks!
It is not safe to use a printer without temperature control, the printer should refuse to continue after a short while ...
Probably your heatbed thermistor is not working, the first check is to try pulling and replacing the plug in case it has vibrated loose, for the position see:

If you have a multimeter you can check it has a resistance that changes with temperature, I forget what the expected values are but if it fails it will either be a short or an open circuit.
Cheerio,
RE: .
Even if o set to 0 the bed temperature at setttings? O can print PLA with a cold bed. But i have no time to wait for a new termistor...
Thanks for the reply
Obviously you can't run the machine like that but if you have a way to turn bed heating off altogether, it's not many years since a heated bed was a big deal. Some materials with print on some surfaces with a cold bed. There are various tapes and glues that some people use. Perhaps you could get it to work in the short term but never the less, you should follow Diem advice.

Yeah, someone in a FB forum told me to delete de M140 and M190 comands so the mesh level works with de bed cold and then set de bed temp to 0.
I just need to print one simple flat Piece for a birthday. I'll fix it later
