When I took that picture, I had turned down the heatbed to 80 degrees celsius, but I want it to be 110 degrees!
No temp drops indeed, but when I put the bed temp to 85 the hotend starts having problems staying hot. I don't know why... The PSU delivers enough amps for both easily.
It's this PSU:
[www.ebay.co.uk]
Would the thin wires I use for the heatbed be too thin maybe?
Also, part of my frame broke when I was stress-testing it today, so I have glued it together now and I hope it will stay together properly...
I hope the PU-glue I have here is enough to keep it together, but I think it is good for now.
Furthermore, I am currently printing on a mirror, it seems the mirror is just too slippery for the ABS to stick to, so I will cover it completely with translucent tape I have here, lets hope the ABS sticks to it a bit better.
So the main problem is still here from the beginning:
Can't have the heated bed and the hotend on the desired temperature at the same time.
Hotend can be 210 when heatbed is 80.
When heatbed goes above 80, hotend temperature crashes.
