T14 T24 Temp Error codes

[KHMusicMan]

I really need help. I have 4 good cartridges (PLA), and everytime I insert one, or both, regardless of switching sides, I always get an error code!!!

Left side T14, right side T24.

The printer never heats up all the way, and takes a long time before it actually shows the error codes T14 or T24.

I dont know what to do. I already called 3D systems support and they basically had me run though a checklist, and no matter what I did, it always had those error codes...

I know the main reason is that the print head is not in all the way, or not snapped into position. MINE IS! ALWAYS!

HELPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!

T11-T21 Thermistor circuit - Possible short circuit detected (according to 3DS)
T12-T22 Initial rate of change low - 3DS says to contact them
T13-T23 High rate of temperature change detected - A sudden change in temperature was detected
T14-T24 Low rate of temperature change detected - The rate of temperature increase is below the expected rate of change. [FIX]
T15-T25 Set point deviation - The temperature is different from the target temperature

^ for posterity

A low rate of change means something is not heating up fast enough.

I am not sure that would constitute poor mating of the nozzle with the heater block.

I was getting this error on one machine printing ABS every time within a layer or two of each print.
Put the machine in a warmer place, and all was fine.
This was a long time ago using stock cartridges before I even knew anything about this stuff.

Just to be sure... you don't have a chip installed on the side that is not being used, right?
That too will throw a Txx error.

FIX!! SOLVED!!!

IT WAS THE DAMN POWER SUPPLY!!!!

There was a kink in the wire, so i decided to investigate. I cut open the wires, and one of the wires was broken open, I don't think there was enough contact. I twisted it back together... and IT IS FINALLY PRINTING!!

What a find! Did it look like something that happened while in your possession or a factory blemish?

There's the exact model available for grabs on the internet. Can't remember the link right now. TD you got it handy?

It's cheap enough to have one as a spare just in case.

I'm in need of one too. Got a package deal a while back and it was missing the power supply.

The first link is the same exact one 3DS supplies.

The second link, Im not sure, just the specs, right?
