I haven’t even pulled it out of the box yet and I’m already curious if there is a way to manipulate auxiliary feeders for multicolor/multi material functionality. Possibly 3Ddemon has figured something out, haven’t looked around yet, just assuming it’s possible
What’s stopping the Max’s tool (hotend) from reaching 350c seeing as it seems identical to the Zero and has been swapped by Gergo prints due to its compatibility? (Is it that compatible?) Same question about the bed, and what would need to be addressed for it to reach 120c rather than the factory 100c?
I fully intend to spend the next month or so using it in its stock form and pushing its limits as I familiarize myself with the Max completely before I start the tweaking things(3dDemon DKEU, and physical mods) open to suggestions
The Max has been known to draw too much power & some users have complained about it blowing breakers while heating the bed…so I think it’s at it’s limit.
@Lion So you think I should be able to hit 350c on the hotend and 120c on the bed of the Max if I just up the breaker amperage to 15a-20a on a 120v circuit, or would that merit a new PSU? Would drivers be able to handle it?
The extruder body is plastic. At some combination of chamber/nozzle temperature the plastic will soften.
The toolhead MCU is also going to run hot.
Commercial printers that run these temperatures are commonly water cooled.
If I were trying to hit your targets I reconfigure the printer to 230V. You’d probably need to run a dedicated service from your breaker panel.
