Time to upgrade the hot end for my 3d printer as i need to print with higher temperatures.
Tools required to increase maximum print temperature. Currently it’s stuck on 260c and if you try to increase further, it will just jump back to 260c. This is stock settings to protect the original hot end that comes with the printer. But since I’ve upgraded this part, it should now be safe to increase the max temp.
Download visualstudio code editing software from https://code.visualstudio.com
When Code editing is installed download the plugin “PlatformIO IDE”
Now you have to make a choice if you already have a previously marlin firmware backup stored that you can edit. Or you download the latest marlin build that’s available and edit it from scratch. Me personally just want to increase the max temperature, meaning i’ll use the backup file from when i built the marlin firmware 1 year ago.
Opening the file “Configuration.h” from my backup folder
In my file I have to scroll down to line 482 and start editing the default value that is set that is currently 275. Display will show this value -15c, meaning that on my ender 3 pro display it shows 260c.
I choose the temperature 300, and put this on all the lines from Heater_0 to Heater_7
Saved the file and uploaded it again to the 3d printer.
Thanks for your blog, nice to read. Do not stop.
Good post!
