I recently had a nozzle clog and in the process of trying to clear it, I must've damaged some wiring on my hot end because it will no longer heat up. This is on a metal plus purchased in July 2015. Obviously the only replacement option is the UBIS13s. But of course that means adding a cooling fan etc. Overall I'm disappointed in the documentation necessary to do this upgrade. I don't like the idea that I have to print a shroud to mount the fan. How my supposed to do that when my printer is currently not working?
Several questions here…
I have no idea what revision of the circuit board I have. How do I know if it can support 2 fans? Do I need the splitter cable?
Can I get by without the second fan long enough to print the new fan shroud?
Can I print it with PLA or does it have to be ABS? I've never printed ABS in the 2 1/2 years that I've had the printer and I'm not anxious to go out and buy a spool just for this one part.
Is any kind of firmware upgrade necessary?
These are probably stupid questions but like I said… I'm not finding much in the way of documentation.
