Hey @ThantiK you recall we were talking about heated enclosures? I’ve started looking at what the options are for the Ingentis - I thought I’d just steel the heating approach that @Jonas_Kuhling has used eg. an off the shelf heatsink/fan with a big resistor glued to it. Had you put any thought into this? I’m wondering about what the electronics solution could be, I don’t recall any firmware versions that support a heated chamber…
The heated chamber is a passive thing (or at least what I was going to do). You basically just use the heated bed at whatever setting and the box retains the heat in the area. The Azteeg X3 has support for something like 4 or 5 extruders I think? Whenever I do mine, I’m probably going to use the extra thermistor spots on that to control heated chamber if I do an active-style approach like you’re thinking…I’ll just heat it up like a hot end and make some modifications to Marlin so that the safety margin can be set specifically for that thermistor/heater pair.
I’m wondering if it would be safer so use a space heater, hair dryer, or heat gun. Although this would require a relay, but these devices are designed specifically for this purpose. Just a thought
I’ve usually got my Mendel90 enclosed with birch ply and an acrylic front. Other than its two heated beds, there is nothing heating the build volume; it gets up to about 40°C, which already helps a lot with warp-prone prints. 12V hair dryers are dirt cheap - that’s what i’d look into as you can easily control them with an extra heater chanel.
I used a hot air popcorn popper. Worked fantastic until it melted all of the Pla parts.
@Stephanie_A that’s hilarious, I haven’t used one of those since I was a kid. Mc Guyver points for sure
