hot end fail

[renesis]

@Mlattimore

I recently receive my Taz 2 and have printed maybe a dozen times. Initially I was concerned that the bed would only get up to 60 degrees and never to 85, sometime the reading dropping back to zero (although I can feel it is still hot). I have been able to overlook this so far since all my abs (I haven’t tried PLA yet) have stuck down very well with the ABS slurry. I contacted the help desk and Claudio explained how to test the resistance of the bed heater and thermistor which seemed to be OK. The main reason I am writing is that my hot end will no longer heat up. The bed heater and the xyz movement all work fine. I am looking for some specific ways to test what the problem is (the hot end, the rambo board, etc.) I have a multimeter, but I am not very well versed in electronics. I just want my Taz 2 back in working order I have so many things that I want to print.

Have a look here, could be a blown fuse:
