Hi
A couple of days ago the hotend wouldn't heat up and i got a couple of errorcodes/warnings in the display. The bed heats up just fine, so i ordered a new hotend parts (heater, thermistor and a new aluminum block). Changed all of this, but still the same error. I can se that the thermistor works because it changes values in the display when touching the thermistor-end. Any good ideas why the heater doesn't heat?
out of curiosity, why would you not have gone with an Ender 3 over this non-brand thing? Or if you have Bambu money, that or another quality brand? It sounds like a recipe for pain and it's not cheaper than the super well (community) supported Enders.
I'm a totally noob in the 3D printing scene. My brother has a Biqu B1 and I've printed some small things on his printer. Found a used Biqu B1 for sale for about $80. Yeah, not good research from my side... But, I've printed a well printed fucktopus before it died...
$80 makes it reasonable. At normal MSRP... Ender.
Good luck and make upgrades slowly and as needed.
Haha, slowly it goes.. Changing the SKR v1.4 to a SKR MINI V3 isn't straight forward on the Biqu B1.
