Hi

A couple of days ago the hotend wouldn’t heat up and i got a couple of errorcodes/warnings in the display. The bed heats up just fine, so i ordered a new hotend parts (heater, thermistor and a new aluminum block). Changed all of this, but still the same error. I can se that the thermistor works because it changes values in the display when touching the thermistor-end. Any good ideas why the heater doesn’t heat?

    Welcome to Biqu B1 world. Where nothing makes sense and you’ll never be able to get a nice print.

    Mine came with the same issue and nothing solved it. It’s literally a piece of trash in my room. Saving for a Bambu. btw I have a Elegoo for years and it’s perfecr

      out of curiosity, why would you not have gone with an Ender 3 over this non-brand thing? Or if you have Bambu money, that or another quality brand? It sounds like a recipe for pain and it’s not cheaper than the super well (community) supported Enders.

        I’m a totally noob in the 3D printing scene. My brother has a Biqu B1 and I’ve printed some small things on his printer. Found a used Biqu B1 for sale for about $80. Yeah, not good research from my side… But, I’ve printed a well printed fucktopus before it died…

          $80 makes it reasonable. At normal MSRP… Ender.

          Good luck and make upgrades slowly and as needed.
