Max Temp Error

Overview

If the Viki displays the error message “Max Temp,” the hot end or bed is reading temperature above the upper limit set in firmware. (Bed - 150°C, Hot end - GB2-245°C, GB3-350°C on some and 400°C on others)

Before proceeding, please collect and record the following data: 

• GB number
• Screenshot of temperature graph when error occurs
• .factory file
• Did max temp error happen:
  • While heating the bed?
  • While heating the hot end?
  • During the print? 

Possible Causes: 

1. Hot end temp set too high
2. Thermocouple defective (GB3 and GB3+)
3. Break / short with thermistor (GB2)
4. Break / short in head cable (GB2)
5. Thermocouple daughter board defective (GB3 and GB3+) BED ONLY
6. Thermocouple daughter board jumper is loose (GB3 and GB3+) BED ONLY

Possible Solutions:

1. Reduce temperature in Simplify3D
2. Replace thermocouple
3. Replace thermistor
4. Replace head cable
5. Replace daughterboard
6. Replace jumper wire
