Basics
- A possibility in FDM 3D Printers, where a short, or a broken thermistor allows for a low or absent value for the heat probe to enter the controller
- If Improperly Designed this will cause the heat to continually rise, with essentially no stopping point (Until the device breaks itself one way or another)
- If not stopped this often causes fires
- This can destroy the device, or the entire facility depending on the precautions taken
Solutions
- Redundancy
- Quality Soldering etc
- Proper Code (Error Detection and Auto Shutoff)
- Fire Extinguisher Systems (Either a Self Contained Fire Suppression System or a Automatic Fire Extinguisher Water Sprinkler System )
