Re: temparature drop with V3B extruder in S3D

it might be the firmware as you said. there is only a firmware option for V3B hotend and 24V. I could not find any other firmware. I tried without updating firmware, but then the hotend only heated to 10 degrees below my set temperature and never started printing. Don't know where to get the right f...

Re: v3A to V3B extruder upgrade

Thank for the super quick reply!! ;) I will just start with the V3A setup and take it from there.
