Wax filament trouble - min temp limit?  

Re: Wax filament trouble - min temp limit?

There is a min temp limit in firmware, I believe it is set at 200 deg.C

Re: Wax filament trouble - min temp limit?

There is a minimal temp for printing within the Firmware. It's a protection against cold extrusion (trying extrude filament without heating it could case damage to your printer / hotend).

I don't know what it is, it's definitely less than 200.

If you don't like to google or read through the Sourcecode -> Try to hook your printer up via USB and try different temps. and then try to extrude a little bit of filament. You can find the limit that way.

Or just wait... someone will know! 😉

Seems like you can set it yourself

So if you put a

M302 S150 ; only allow extrusion above 150

in your start g-code, you could add. But double check if you got your filament temps right!

Thank you - I am going to try this let you know what happened

This is supported in Prusa Gcode. Your syntax is correct. 🙂

I agree though, be careful with this gcode. It can make your printer unhappy.

What kind of wax filament are you using? I would like to get some, but I just can't accept paying ~50$/kg, for wax, when I can buy wax for under 5$/kg.
