Hi All,
I am trying to use some ABS - FR it needs to be at 280 degrees C for the filament, but when i put the memory card in the printer and select print it it only goes up to 240 degrees C
It is causing the filament to jam inside the head as its not hot enough to melt the plastic correctly
Why is this happening

Hi Travor. This file is sliced by you? What are the filament parameters that you have set in the slicer? The printing temperature is set in the gcode file, so it is important to set it properly during slicing.
Yes,
All designed by me, the CAD file then the slicer gcode output. it is set to 280/85
BUT it looks like i have a faulty hot head, i’m getting a replacement in about a week and will see how that goes, but thanks for the reply.
Hi,
It is possible cause, yes. Please let us know if the replacement will solve your issue.
Best regards!
YESSSS
The new hot head has fixed the problem with that, now getting 100% perfect print, even less cleanup than before after setting the printer for the new head. After one sample print the Bowden tube clamp isn’t holding the tube properly at the feeder end…
Now i just need a new Bowden tube and clamps at each end as the new Bowden tube is not the same as the old one, all in all a good result. The Bowden tube is a minor issue.
Thanks all for the advice.
Many printers have a maximum hotend temperature set in firmware, often 240°C, 250°C, or 260°C.
If your printer’s firmware limit is 240 degree C. The printer will refuse any higher temperature command from the G-code. Even if your slicer is set to 280 degree C, the printer will stop at 240 degree C.
