V6 Volcano Brass Length Extruder Nozzle 3.0mm x 0.8mm Documentation
Overview
The V6 Volcano Brass Length Extruder Nozzle 3.0mm x 0.8mm is a high-performance hotend designed for FFF/FDM 3D printing applications. This nozzle is specifically designed to provide high-flow rates and reliable performance in demanding printing environments. The following documentation provides a detailed explanation of the nozzle's pinout and connection guidelines.
Pinout Description
The V6 Volcano Brass Length Extruder Nozzle 3.0mm x 0.8mm has a total of 4 pins, which are used to control the hotend's temperature and heating element. The pinout is as follows:
Pin 1: Thermistor (T)
Function: Temperature sensing
Signal Type: Analog
Description: This pin connects to a thermistor, which measures the hotend's temperature. The thermistor provides a resistance-based temperature reading to the 3D printer's control board.
Pin 2: Heater (H)
Function: Heating element control
Signal Type: Digital
Description: This pin connects to the heating element (e.g., a heating cartridge or a heater wire) and controls the hotend's temperature. The control board sends a digital signal to this pin to regulate the heating element's power.
Pin 3: Ground (GND)
Function: Grounding
Signal Type: Digital
Description: This pin provides a grounding point for the hotend and helps to prevent electrical noise and interference.
Pin 4: Not Connected (NC)
Function: Not connected
Signal Type: N/A
Description: This pin is not connected and should not be used.
Connection Guidelines
To connect the V6 Volcano Brass Length Extruder Nozzle 3.0mm x 0.8mm to a 3D printer's control board, follow these steps:
1. Thermistor (T) Connection:
Connect Pin 1 (T) to the control board's thermistor input pin.
Ensure the thermistor is properly seated in its socket and securely connected to the hotend.
2. Heater (H) Connection:
Connect Pin 2 (H) to the control board's heater output pin.
Connect the heating element (e.g., heating cartridge or heater wire) to the hotend, ensuring proper electrical connections and insulation.
3. Ground (GND) Connection:
Connect Pin 3 (GND) to the control board's ground pin or a suitable grounding point on the printer's frame.
4. Leave Pin 4 (NC) Unused:
Do not connect Pin 4 (NC) to any circuit or component, as it is not designed for use.
Important Notes
Ensure proper electrical connections and insulation to prevent shorts, electrical noise, and damage to the hotend and control board.
Verify the control board's documentation for specific pinouts and connection requirements, as they may vary.
Always follow safety guidelines when working with electrical components and 3D printing equipment.
By following these guidelines and connector descriptions, you can properly connect the V6 Volcano Brass Length Extruder Nozzle 3.0mm x 0.8mm to your 3D printer's control board and ensure reliable operation.

import serial
import time

# Set the serial port and baud rate
ser = serial.Serial('COM3', 115200)

# Set the target temperature
target_temp = 210

while True:
  # Send the temperature command to the printer
  ser.write(b'M104 S' + str(target_temp).encode() + b'
')
  
  # Read the temperature response from the printer
  response = ser.readline().decode().strip()
  
  # Check if the temperature is within 1C of the target temperature
  if abs(float(response) - target_temp) < 1:
    print(f'Temperature set to {target_temp}C')
    break
  
  # Wait for 1 second before retrying
  time.sleep(1)
```
