HOW ABOUT.....Adding THIS to M200 firmware?

Zortrax M200

A glaring omission on the M200 is a menu option to check the head temperature.

When replacing heater cartridges etc, it would be nice to have the option to set a temperature then read directly from the sensor to see if the ACTUAL heat value was within expected range.

A temperature calibration facility would also be nice. ANOTHER REASON why you should open source things.

The M200 is a PITA for hotend problems which is why I have just made my own (slightly larger) heating block out of brass, and bought a micro swiss all metal hotend.

The other thing I have done is machines small fins into the block, this allows the temperature to rise and fall more quickly with the fan operating, but keeps a good thermal dynamic overall.

The M200 worked pretty flawless for almost a decade now. Complaining about not being able to modify it easily is a bit off. Especially cause open source is a philosophy that even pursa left for the very most things

Yes, and no. If Zortrax no longer support it, why should I lose out?

I paid nearly £2000 for my M200 and now Zortrax’s software doesn’t support it? How is that fair?

The new software (wich is not better imo anyway) does not support it. Also Open source and G code reading are 2 different stories. Opening for other slicers is of course good
