@Bridge-Of-Don Looks good! Flatter than my beds that are 300mm x 300mm. eg my TronXY, using a Scanning Z Probe:

The 'waves' were caused by a worn wheel on the X carriage. I found and replaced it, but it didn't change the overall shape of the bed!

I need to order some tool plate to get it flat, but then I'll need to change the heater too.

@Bridge-Of-Don said in Sporadic Temperature Changes:

We took the multi plug fitted at the themister apart and one of the two connectors just 'fell-out' and no real force to push back in, so hopefully that was the issue, only time will tell!?

Well several prints later and the temperature does seem to be 'rock steady' so another of the teething problems crossed off the list!! 😁

@Bridge-Of-Don
I am happy to report that we have today successfully manged to print off a small 'cube'.
We still need to fine tune the heaters both on control (to prevent overshoot) and actual temperature but at least it functions. 😊
We used the 'AstroPrint' web based slicing option and downloaded the G-codes to the PC then 'uploaded' them to DWC, maybe not the most elegant of solutions but it works.
We like the ability to 'fine tune' the slicing within the 'AstroPrint' as hopefully we will learn as we go-along.

I'm away again for a week, then home then away, so will have nowt to report for a little while.

Aye I will start a whole new thread and might well take you up on your offer of the CONFIG file at least it is a starting point 😊

Ours is a little bit of a 'rat's nest' of wiring . . ..

Not today's task..
