How detect thap PID working for the bed?
June 04, 2017 04:22AM
Hello there!
My nozzle have PID activated of course. When it reach the right temp then the LED for it on the mainboard start flicker and the temp is perfect, stable.

My heated bed also had PID activated now. The temp reaches but after a while printing 6 min. something like that it starts to go down and never reach the correct temp again, even if the bed LED is lightning. I don't have the LED flicker as it is for the nozzle.

I have tuned PID with comand M303 E-1 C10 S120

In the printer display you can see the PID parameters for the nozzle but not for the bed. How to activate this?

I have a nice 12V even with load.

What can the problem be?

How can I debug this?

Thanks
Ola A.

I'm not sure I understand your problem, you are saying there is no way to set/save the values after you tested the bed or that there is no place to view the current values?
I use Marlin and it's just easier to set this up on the configuration.h file and upload to the printer.....

In any case, try to be sure PID for the bed is actually enabled.
In Marlin you must uncomment this line "#define PIDTEMPBED" to make it work, otherwise you will just change values that will never do nothing tongue sticking out smiley
