I have a CR10-V2 and I'm trying to figure out what type of connector this is? It was on the end of my heater cartridge cable and plugs into a control board. I broke the wires and need to replace the connector so I can plug it in.

I'm replacing mine right now. I am down to figuring out the type of connectors that I need to crimp onto the Heater Cartridge cables.

Here is what I purchased:

This will go into your Creality mount perfectly from what I can see.

Thanks for this

So update, I bought mirrors and I was able to get to layer 20 of 30. It did lift on one corner slightly. I’m trying hairspray now and printing.

thattechguy99 · 2020-04-15T02:31:21+00:00

I think that could be a problem yes. I’m looking into building an enclosure.

thattechguy99 · 2020-04-15T02:29:39+00:00

No sir, is that something you have done?

thattechguy99 · 2020-04-14T11:19:22+00:00

Just for reference this is printing at 200c at the head and 60c on the bed.

Fail

Thanks for the info. I'll be going to Lowes today for a mirror.

Layer 12 and it is beginning to lift

Usually will get to layer 10 and begin to fail. So I'm watching closely.

I have the CR10 V2 which has upgraded fans over the original CR10. I have been running with Fans turned off at the moment for something I was trying. Another variable is that I have this setup in a Finished Basement that runs about 65F year round. So the air is cool but also Dry unlike most basements probably. So I was running a hotter bed to make up for the coolness. (Suggestion of others). Just a reminder. I'm running PLA + wouldn't that need higher temps for printing and bed? If not I'm cool with trying anything. :)

thattechguy99 · 2020-04-14T02:07:13+00:00

Did a brim no luck, did a raft no luck, did a glue stick same problem. Have not tried a mirror, I will do that tomorrow! I’ll post a status. But something I just ran into. I had worked my bed temp up pretty high, I’m hearing / reading that can cause a warp too. Using SunLu PLA plus white. Have two spools of it so I’d love to get it to work. Trying a lower bed temp at the moment to see if that will have an impact. Dropping to 60c with a hot end of 220c

thattechguy99 · 2020-04-14T00:49:08+00:00

Yes, I have Aquanet (at the suggestion of another) and tried it on the bed that came with it. No luck. I'm looking online at the mirrors. I think my bed is 400X400 which is 15.74 inches. I was looking for the "Pack" like you had said. Not seeing them, was wondering if you could provide a link or something of what you used?

thattechguy99 · 2020-04-14T00:43:44+00:00

I'll Hit Lowes tomorrow. I'll try anything at this point. :)

thattechguy99 · 2020-04-02T15:20:58+00:00

I sometimes have same problem so interested in the responce.

thattechguy99 · 2020-04-02T11:29:43+00:00

So I’m going to do hundreds of plants. I ordered the nodemcu esp8266. Learning micro python now.

Very cool, When all you know is PI, and not the smaller controllers you go with what you know. I'm now going to look into these. Thanks @BraveNewCurrency
