Hi all!
I have had some breakdowns (heat-creep most probably) in my E3D v6 bowden, and it's probably one or several of these reasons: too much retraction, too slow print, old filament and bad cooling of the heat-sink (my bad design and a very low noise fan).
So as I'm waiting for some new filament, I thought it would be nice to monitor the heat break temperature (or close to it, like on the first slice of the heat sink) to see how things are going at different speeds, temperatures, over time and so on and after some searching it seems that the RAMPS board has 3 entries for thermistors!
But the only thing I have found about more thermistors and Marlin, is that it can be used as a back up for the hot end one...
My setup is based on Marlin, RAMPS and Repetier, is there a chance I would get a graph in Repetier like for the heatbed and the hot end?
Or just an M-command?
Any pointers greatly appreciated!
