Toolhead LED flickering
When I look at the light from the toolhead LED, it is constantly flickering instead of lighting continuously. It happens regardless of whether it is actually heated or not. Do you have similar experience? Can the flickering be avoided?
RE: Toolhead LED flickering
I haven't noticed flickering on mine. If you swap tools, do they all flicker?
RE: Toolhead LED flickering
yes, all 5 tools are flickering, seems to me there is almost no difference between them. It is not visible too much when the tool is moving, but highly visible when the tool stays at the same place or is moving very slowly the same direction.
RE: Toolhead LED flickering
Yes, mine is doing the same. Have an email in to support but no answer yet.
RE: Toolhead LED flickering
I just heard back from support. They have decided that can be normal operation. One more strange erratic thing this printer is doing.

Cheap Chinese flash lights do the same. 🙁
RE: Toolhead LED flickering
Both of my toolheads are acting the same. I don't remember this flickering at the beginning (printer about 6 months old).
It looks more like a PWM issue rather than a hardware one. Or a combination of them...

10 month-ish old XL. No tool LED flickering whatsoever, but I've only recently started having them on.

RE: Toolhead LED flickering
Hey Folks, same here XL printer from 4.2024 - booth heads LEDs are always "flickering" --- is there still no solution available ?
RE:
The heads I use the most flicker. So some do some don't.
I only turn the lights on if I need to look at something. No point in running them all the time.
The issue I can see is that I dont think they are easily replaced as they look integral in the print head.
I contacted support months ago and they basically said it still works and there is no way to change it without replacing the print head.
So I just moved on. Like I said no point in having the light on the whole print, it's just wasting energy.
