Sometimes your 3D printer may experience temperature fluctuations on the hot end, which can affect surface quality and even lead to clogs. Many people ran into this problem when upgrading from their standard Creality board to an MKS Gen L.
Fortunately there are two fixes that are very easy to implement. Best of all, one is free and the other will only cost you a dollar or so. In this video, I take you through both step by step.
Method 1 is utilising Marlin’s PID autotune to hone the parameters for your specific printer. Method 2 is installing a smoothing capacitor on the 5V line of the mainboard to alleviate the problem.
I didn’t actually have this problem on my board but there have been many requests on the MKS Gen L guide. Thanks to Nick Skinner for contacting me with potential solutions to this problem found at: reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,...
I showed Octoprint as my console of choice here, but you could also use Simplify3D, Pronterface or even the Arduino IDE.
