Chamber heater is not turning on during print, and CHAMBER_HEATER_ON macro
Solution:Jump to solution
Got it working now. My question is whether it's a must to have a temperature sensor for the chamber heater itself?

can you show the temperautre panel from your frontend please
Got it sorted. Didn't know that it requires 2 temperature sensors, 1 for heater, and 1 for chamber. Was running a setup with single chamber temp sensor only. Hence, the max temp for the heater was set to 72C.
Then changed it to 2 sensors, but did not change the heater max temp. back to 200C, hence the error turning on the heater.
Is the temp sensor for chamber heater for safety purpose?
your chamber thermistor already shows 50°, in this case the chamber heater doesnt get turned on if you jsut set it to lets say45°
please make this
CHAMBER_HEATER_ON CHAMBER_TEMP=60Solution
Got it working now. My question is whether it's a must to have a temperature sensor for the chamber heater itself?
yes
for safety reasons
otherwise klipper cant react to thermal issues
and yu couldnt contro the actual heater temperature
Right....
Makes sense.
Thank you very much for your help and clarification!
Greatly appreciated!
Where should the heater sensor be located at?
directly at the heater rips
1 more question. Why is the heater set to 85C after the chamber temp has reached?
Has this got to do with variable_chamber_heater_heating_temp_offset: 25 ?
And what is the purpose?
Saw that, just wondering what is the purpose of it.
depending on your printer size and used heter and the position of it, you can control with the offset the temperature it uses to try to hold the target chamber temp
this helps to get a constant temperature
Yes, that's what I'm wondering. For VC500, it's not possible to maintain higher temp with the offset.
what temp you want on the 500
i could easily reach 60° on my 500
Another question, is it possible to heat the bed before chamber heater?
Trying to reduce the total power draw at 1 time
Bed and chamber heater turning on at the same time has very power draw.
For safety reason too.
Looking at 70C
well, hen you probably need a better insulation or a bigger heater
you can use this macro hook to turn the bed on and wait for the temp before the chamber heater turns on
Awesome!
Thank you so muchhh
