Marlin firmware fork for MakerFarm i3v w/ auto bed level & Roxy's enhancements

I'm just wondering about a possible thermal runaway situation. ... If I recall, that problem was with the heated bed - it would heat up OK but then in the print the bed temp would drop off just enough and for a long enough period to trip the thermal runaway condition that shuts down the print.

I've been having that trouble myself occasionally since I started using RCBugfix. The bed heater seems to stall out, then the print cancels and the printer disconnects from OctoPi. I'm glad to hear it's a known issue, and that there's a workaround.

We are near the end of RC-7. I'm not sure that I remember any thermal issues in RC-7. I do remember some issues in RC-6.

The only thing concerning thermal issues lately is this thread speculating there may be a bug in the way the PID algorithm works:

If you are having problems with your heaters doing the right thing, please let us know!!!

So far my only problems have been with the print bed heater, and I (think I) have it on a bang-bang setup, not PID. I have my bed heater connected through a relay, so I don't think PID or PWM would be a good option. The issue is somewhat rare, though. Maybe only once in 7-8 prints.

Right! Bang Bang mode is separate from PID. But still... You shouldn't be seeing any problems. If you are running RC-7 and see an issue, please click the 'Issues' button (at: https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Ma...3Aupdated-desc ) and describe the problem.
