Z-TEMP compatibility with new M200 plus ?
« on: May 31, 2018, 08:43:12 AM »
Hello,

Someone know if Z-Temp works with the new Zortrax M200 Plus and the Hot-End V3 ?

Thanks !

Hadrien.

We don't have an M200 Plus here, so I'm working from pictures and hearsay at this moment.

ZT-HE: Looks like it should work.
Z-Sense: Looks like it won't work out-of-the-box due to the new bed connector design and probably mounting issues.
Z-Temp ZTC-200: No idea.
Z-Mon: No idea, but since the printer has its own runout detector, it's pretty moot.

If any M200 Plus owners or experts has further info, please chime in, thanks!

Julia

Hello !

I've got the M200 Plus now, and the Z-Temp: It's works !
No differences between M200 and M200 Plus to mount Z-Temp on it. I take the printed part who was mounted on my M200, and it fit exactly as on the M200.

I don't try yet to mount Z-sense, but it seems to be more complicated.
Maybe if I'm soldering a JST cable on the "Pogo pins" ?

I tried Z-Temp with M200 plus today, and the printer didn't turn on when the z-temp was mounted on the extruder and the extruder cable was in the z-temp socket. However, when I disconnected the extruder cable, the printer booted normally. I'm wondering what is the problem. I would be grateful for more successful reports of running m200+ with the Z-Temp.

What temperature offset is the Z-Temp set to when you turn on the printer?

Is the Z-Temp known to be good, i.e. has it been tested with an M200?

We have just tried it on M200, also doesn't work - seems that the unit is broken. I haven't used it for a while so it's possible.
