Issues heating bed from cold to 105 C on AnyCubic Mega X

What is the problem?

Hi there,

Thank you in advance for your help.

I’m having issues heating my bed from a cold start to 105 C. I print in ASA and ABS and need a hot bed.

I run Marlin 2.1.2.1 on an AnyCubic Mega X.

I get this error:

State: Offline after error
Heating failed, system stopped! Heater_ID: bed - echo:busy: processing

What did you already try to solve it?

I have tried:

  • Booting in safe mode and still get the error.
  • Changing the parameter as instructed here.
  • Removing the SD card (read it on a forum).

Have you tried running in safe mode?

Yes

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

No

Happy to answer and troubleshoot. I’m ok with coding and flashing firmware and stuff, but I can’t crack this one. Probably a random setting I’ve missed.

Hello @James_Stranger !

Your printer is not able to reach 105°C:

Either it is too cold in your room or the hardware is just not able to do it.

hi on the anycubic website it states .
● Operational Print Bed Temperature: Max 90ºC

So the workaround I've been using was to heat to 95, then 100, then 105. I do this manually and it works fine.

I understand and accept the risks of using above manufacturer's range. 90 C doesn't work for ABS and ASA. I have a fire-proof, insulated, enclosure. It's located in the garage and I have a camera with alerts and an Alexa/Google-enabled smart switch to cut power (he's called Einstein haha).

Any assistance would be great.

I see what you're saying @Ewald_Ikemann about the heating not changing in the last 3 lines.

My new question would then be, is there a way to adjust the heating check from every X checks/min to every Y/checks, because the bed does heat, just takes longer than normal I guess. But for me, it means my parts are successful. Otherwise, they fail.

This is not an issue you can mend by software.

The hardware is just not able to heat to that value on a regular basis.

You need a more powerful heating element for the bed.
These temperatures best can be achieved by a mains powered heating mat in conjunction with a SSR.

I do not recommend to run a printer beyond it's limits.
