I haven't looked a at a Revo in a while, but the K1 Pro's thermistor and heater are spliced toward the ceramic block. If the Revo is similar, I'd check there as well. Weird splice thing on the K1, like a brass c-clip type thingy.

Mine too!

Was it the heater core itself...or a thermistor or heater element issue? I guess it's moot, and why I don't like the style any longer, as if one is bad you have to replace all 3!

Sounds similar to a faulty wire losing communication.

I've had zero problems with my Red Lizard K1...except the pro version - it also had the ceramic heatercore, the thermistor went bad on it too...seems like a trend with ceramic heatercores, or All In Ones? I hope you get it figured out and don't have to change it, or pay to fix it. I wasn't...

All I know...is that I had 2 separate Revo hotends that did similar. They'd print for a bit, then clog up. Turns out it was a widespread thermistor issue. One that was said to be fixed. I wouldn't know as that was E3D's last chance...and now I have zero Revos, zero Titan Aeros, zero V6s, nothing...

Yes, those moving toolheads can cause some errant issues. I had a thermistor that had a loose connection, but every time I took it apart to find the issue, it presented as nothing and was strong. Somehow it was moving JUST enough while printing, and I couldn't reproduce it manually...last E3D...

Thank you. When I was looking this up last year I kept getting zero hits, and nobody was saying what they were using. Just a bunch of: "get some wire", yeah, no shit! Appreciate it, this should help me get my umbilical in better shape on my son's before I do it on mine.

True, true. A ton of variables...as always. What gauge piano wire are you using? I have some stiff wire that came with my canbus stuff, but I don't like how stiff it is, really stiff.

You have them communicating the same baud?

I think there are a few more cases of movement being made. And 10x the OD is pretty common between most flexible's limit on how much you can bend...my filament would snap before my tube would! Yours is more flexible?

Need all the internet archived...the internetarchive isn't cutting it as they keep trying to take it down to rewrite history. And they just went after Tucows (weird to see that name in 2025) for archiving!!! Going to be a weird time when we are fighting over facts in the future. Facts everyone...

Mostly just this one now...FDM isn't what it once was...but still there. I'm with you, reddit is trash, IMO. Discord is a horrid IRC wrapper with even worse searching. And I do remember everyone wanting this forum too...but people took too long and pushed everyone to Discord...most just said...

I do like to draft myself. I'm more of a sketch guy, never got used to these computer drawing programs.

That is definitely correct. I hadn't planned on adding beefier extrusions, but it certainly can't hurt. I'll see how the 2020 holds up and if not bump it up. Should be too hard, so I won't talk you out of something I may add, so you'll be ahead of the game.
