@mpirringer Most certainly is a 12V output Power supply. I have gone through 5 spools of Carbon reinforced Polycarbonate without failure. I had to modify the override file to get my settings to save for the new thermistor.

@mpirringer I already have an E3D copper block and have been running 40 watt cartridges for 8 months without issue. My power supply outputs 12v 15A. A 50W heater cartridge should draw around 4.2A. I would think that power supply should be more than adequate enough to power the new heater cartridge. I am having problems with the printer saving my settings between power cycles though. Trying to sort that out.

So here is how you do it:

Using this chart from Slice Engineering you can get the resistance per/°C:

I couldn't get the Smoothie Board to return back the calculations, but I used this calculator to solve for them:

So at the end of it all this is the line you need to send over to the Pulse XE with the 32-bit Smoothieware board to use the Slice Engineering High temp thermistor (https://www.sliceengineering.com/collections/accessories/products/thermistor-high-temperature

M305 S0 I0.0002576262339 J0.0002190262490 K0.00000009835626257

Follow that with an M500 to save to your settings. Check the readout on your display and you should now be showing ambient.

Finally you will need to change your max temp of your hotend. In my particular case I have set mine to 330°C for now. This is the gcode for that:

M143 S0 P330

Again send a M500 to store your settings.

Hope this helps for anyone wanting to get more out of the amazing Pulse XE printer.

So I am wanting to print with higher temps for materials such a Polycarbonate and possibly PEI. I have a Slice Engineering 50W Heater Cartridge (https://www.sliceengineering.com/collections/accessories/products/50w-heater-cartridge) and High Temp Thermistor (https://www.sliceengineering.com/collections/accessories/products/thermistor-high-temperature). I have a Pulse XE S-232. How do I go about updating the Resistance/Temperature table for Smoothieware?

Thanks!

@kenchalk So the Pulse XE with the 32-bit upgrade is actually my very first printer, so I don't have a a benchmark to compare it to, but I can say I have had zero issues with it and am 110% happy with my Pulse XE.

@flameball521 Right click on the Pulse.fff file. Save link as. IT will then download that link, then you can import printer in Simplify3D

@unlimitedbacon I have a question about this statement: "S model Pulses (running Smoothieware) require a different procedure." I have a Pulse XE S-232 (with the 32-bit upgrade). Can you tell me what this procedure is please? Thank you!

Thanks @mpirringer !

Unfortunately I don't see the files for the threaded heatsink in there.

Where did the STL files go for the Pulse XE (S-232)? I thought I saw them on GITHub at one point in time. I don't see the parts for the E3D V6 hotend with the threaded heatsink.
