In Repetier Host, I set Extruder Temp for 230c but it will swing between 220c and 250c
As a result, when I run the gcode sliced by Slic3r the program will often hang because the temperature is too high above the desired temperature.
My work around is to manually preheat extruder and to comment out M109 in gcode like this:
;M109 S230 ; wait for temperature to be reached
I have run the PID calibration on the Extruder routine multiple times and verified that the PID settings are saved in EEPROM. No change. The Extruder temperature still swings.
When the machine is cold, both the extruder thermistor and the bed thermistor properly report the ambient temperature.
FYI: My heated Bed is set for Bang Bang temperature control and is rock solid, nevery varying more than a half a degree or less in any direction.
My Configuration:
Repetier Host V0.09B
Azteeg X3 with Repetier-Firmware-0.822
Any help would be appreciated.
