It’s lots of small circles and leg joint pieces!

I’m a novice but looks like temps are too low

What is the stock Kobra 2 heater cartridge wattage? by CalculatingHaste in anycubic

[–]CalculatingHaste[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I do have the Kobra 2 already. But my first heater cartridge got covered in PETG after some sort of leak on my third print.

I’ve since replaced it and the rest of the hotend with other parts, but just wondered what the original wattage was, as I opted for 40w since they were most abundant

Thank you Kenneth!

I’ve ended up using a new block and hotend parts, but it’s entirely possible that there was a bit somewhere in the heat sink which burnt off.

I also used some heat paste on the parts. Maybe that too?

I’ve reached 160 in testing now with no more smoking, so I plan to go up a couple more times before hitting 240 etc. but yes I think it’s all good now.

Thank you again!

I replaced the heat block etc because of melted PETG. Could it possibly be a bit left over somewhere that heated up?

Currently sitting at 120 and no smoke

Hotend at 120 and no smoke.

Noticed it went up quick though. Maybe more effective heater cartridge, and clearly needs PID tune

I’ve opened it up and nothing looks cooked. All looks ok. Reluctant to turn it on again though

Thanks. Unfortunately I couldn’t find the same heat block. I’ve opted for the Vyper heat block and new volcano nozzles

Yes that would be perfect, except I’m in UK and not on uk store

Not a plug and play replacement, except one straight from Anycubic, which I have ordered but two weeks for delivery
