looking for help with high temp plastic set up on ender 5

Post by zen89 »

I have an ender 5 that i'm building into a high temp printer. Currently mod's are, micro swiss all metal mk8 hot end, Ollson ruby .4 nozzle, capricorn bowden tube, direct extrusion, liner rails, enclosure, cr10 dual gear extruder. stock control board. So my roadrunner email question is do i need to change my heater cartridge and thermister as well as firmware changes? If yes to any of they questions please advice on product or direction that may be needed. Thank you all for your time. Bought my first printer in April 2019 an ender 3. so i'm still new at this. It's amazing what you can learn on you tube.

I wouldn't touch the heater unless you are using larger nozzles and need the heat/throughput.

I would also consider some sort of enclosure and fire safety in case the worst happens
