Stops heating

#1
I have my gcode set to do the first layer @ 217C and subsequent layers 207C. Once the first layer is complete the printer stops heating and the temp slowly drops until the hot end is @ 100C where it stabilizes.

I am wondering if I need new thermistors or other replacement parts. If I do is there a way to purchase them from gCreate? There is nothing listed in the online store for replacement parts.

Problems like to this are usually caused by an unreliable connection in the 2 pin connector for the heater cartridge. We have recently changed the connector we use in all of the printers because of this. Email me at support@gcreate.com and we can sell you the new connector.

Its similar to this connector. You could even use this one but you may want to cut it into a few pieces as only 4 terminals are needed.
