Upgraded to a E3D V6

I just upgraded to a full V6 to work with some new materials. I was just wondering what do I need to do inorder to get my max temp above 245. Is it something in the firmware?

Hi Spencer

Yup, certainly is in firmware.

Configuration.h:

#define HEATER_0_MAXTEMP 259

Change that, recompile and upload firmware.

How would I edit the firmware?

Hi Spencer

This is not something you should be doing, unless you really know how. I hope that you will understand that I cannot tell you exactly what to do as when something goes wrong, I do not want to be responsible for breaking your printer.

Basically, after spending a few years learning to properly program in C, you do the following.

1. Download the drivers and firmware source from this web site
2. Download the Arduino compiler from Arduino.cc
3. Add the RAMBo repository in Preferences/Additional board managers"
4. Open the Board manager and download the RAMBo interface
5. Amend the firmware as required
6. Upload the firmware to the printer.

And after 35+ years in the software business, I still make mistakes and am extremely nervous about the above...
