Felicity maintainance

Open huffeec opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Felicity is not currently working

The minimum to get it working again is a new bowden tube collet, this is on order #1798

The nozzle is worn and doesn't give great prints so an update is needed #1813 Fix the fan #1619

In fixing Prints Adam we now have a suitable Olson block and a spare extruder for this printer. They are in the box inside the printer for now. The bed from this printer was swapped into Prints Adam because the temperature sensor on the bed in that printer was reporting a fault. We may need a replacement bed or be able to swap out the component to fix this.

Looked at the bed at makerday today. The bed works fine if it is wired in but not put in place. As soon as the bed is put back the sensor fault comes back. It seems to be either connections in the terminal block or a problem with the wires rather than a fault with the bed itself. Mike suggested adding ferrules, alternatively testing and replaces the wires may be needed.

Adding an update to this because I was asked about it and because the newer Ultimaker has displaced Felicity in the cabinet of printers, but it should still be repaired as it is a useable machine.

As above all it needs is tracking down the break in the link between the bed heat sensor and the controller.
