Hey community!
I wonder if anybody else does encounter my problem.
From the beginning my linear modules become pretty hot after some hours of printing.
And I mean REALLY hot. It´s like a radiaor in my enclosure.
I tried to measure the temperature, but unfortunatly I´ve got no sensor that´s capable to get a exact temperature from a flat surface.
But in comparison to the heated bed at 80°C or even 100°C the modules feel even hotter.
That´s the reason why I don´t want to run the printer alone without survey.
Is this the “normal” temperature,or should I be worried?
It’s also something to add to a next version of a controller board. Some microcontrollers have built-in temperature sensors. Failing that, there are some inexpensive 3-terminal devices for temperature that deliver over I2C.
It’s not temperature control so much as temperature safety. It’s the equivalent of an end-stop limit switch. Those kinds of safety features are already lacking, though, and I’m not expecting this from SM, only from third party efforts.
