What is the problem ?

Support&troubleshooting Zortrax M200
#1

I have printed this object many times. (Also with older versions of Z-Suite and firmware) without any problems.

But now it’s badly printed :

They are printed in pairs.

But here, only one object has the default.

Printed in Z-ABS cool grey.

0.19

Light infill

What problem can cause this kind of defect?

I specify :

M200 V4 of 2015

Firmware 1.05

Zsuite 1,61

The hotend + nozzle are new

The thermocouple cable is new

Would this be the extruder + PCB cable?

Would this be the right model (see photos)?

#2

I've seen this with a bad cable or connection. I'd try reseating the cable (both ends) and perhaps even moving the parts around into different locations within Z-suite to see if the problem moves with the part (highly unlikely).

#3

Thank you for the answer.

 

In fact, the thermocouple cable broke (frayed) and there was smoke near the connector !

I replaced the cable but now the printing is bad on some objects (see photos).

Maybe the cable of the extruder or the PCB is damaged ?
