Thanks Julia,
You always reply so promptly.
Not to pick nits, but the manual does not state DC volts.
Thanks for clarifying

General Discussion / Using multimeter to measure temperature

« on: September 08, 2021, 06:15:28 PM »

Hi all, I am trying to dial in my settings and understand the actual temperatures for the various -50, -30 etc settings as I switch between PLA, etc.

I have a multimeter and found the JST-XH plugs. All went together well enough, but when I set the multimeter volts to AC I only get 0000. DC shows numbers, but they do not make sense when multiplied to 200 (as the manual states).

Should I be setting the multimeter differently?

I'm not an electrician, so I'm not certain of other multimeter settings - anyone have experience with this?

Thanks for your guidance

General Discussion / Re: Z-Temp products compatible with new Zortrax M200 V2 Hotend and heater PCB?

Since installing ZTemp and bed temp controller, I've needed to reprint some ABS models, but now the same model that printed in ABS before the ZTemp install is lifting off the raft (raft is fine on the bed — makes me think the fans are somehow running more or the bed cooling is effecting things?
• ZTemp is set to 0 offset and bed temp is on 3, which is supposed to be full bed temp.
¿ Are fans effected at all by these installs?
Wishing I could just keep the ZT-HE on and print ABS effectively . . .
Any ideas?
Thanks
Lonn
PS - I just looked at original Z file and fan was on auto, but it was ok previously. I will try at 20%, but am curious if you have any other thoughts / experience.
Very much appreciated.

Hi - following up on this topic:
Julia said: The ZT-HE is not really good for Z-ABS or 3rd-party ABS or Ultra-T due to the high temperatures, which will deform the PTFE tube relatively quickly. For ABS I use the all-metal version of the ZT-HE

Which is the all-metal version of the ZT-HE? I purchased the ZTemp and ZT-HE, which worked flawlessly as directed for PLA, but I'm having trouble going back to using up the Z-ABS / reprinting older models.

I have a V2 HE - do you recommend using that for Z-ABS?

Also, using the Z-Temp, I'm trying to sort out the combination of settings:
• what is the best extruder temp setting for Z-ABS (I've seen different numbers in different places of FOrum, site, and Materials Guide.
• Which setting on bed heater switch should be used when printing Z-ABS
• Fans using Z-ABS with Z-Temp - is anything different given the new config?
