    I have recently bought and installed a E3D extruder v6 and I finally downloaded the firmware. However I seem to not be able to print due to a temperature code

    < 8:46:40 PM: Printer stopped due to errors. Fix the error and use M999 to restart. (Temperature is reset. Set it after restarting)
    I tried to find the code where the error started at, but doesn't seem to be there can anyone help me?

    Restart your printer then open terminal to get the original message to appear.

    What do your temps show up as

    I am showing 327 degrees C. and to restart the printer what code do I plug in to restart? I think I might have had a short in the thermistor, what do you think?

    Your thermistor is shorted.

    Ok so I ordered a new thermistor and installed it today. Also at this point Marlin is already uploaded. I just tried to do my first print with the new thermistor and the same code - Printer stopped due to errors. Fix the error and use M999 to restart. (Temperature is reset. Set it after restarting)-. I am not sure what I am doing wrong can anyone help?

    Is the new thermistor indicating the temperature properly?
    (starts off about ambient, heats up as expected, stays steady?)

    What temperature is it reading? Open terminal, disconnect, and reconnect. What error does it show

    I have disconnect and re-connected my printer and tried again but this code is thrown within the first 10-15 minutes of my prints.

    Have you modified the firmware?
    I thought there was a MAX temp they added in for the heated bed and hotend (I have not upgraded my Beta to those versions).

    If so that may be what you are hitting (it will do an EStop when it hits MAX TEMP). Someone with an R1 can confirm this (or someone who has messed around with the current firmware).

    First you get the correct version of the firmware (ping @Mike Kelly for the R1 firmware).
    Then edit the values in configuration.h and use the ardiuno IDE to compile and upload it to the printer.

    Modification is easy. Just replace 2 values.

    I need to know a bit more about your printer

    Does it have a cover of the bottom?
    If no, does it have autolevel switches?

    I just bought it about a month or so ago, I think it has auto leveling. Check the pic. Also when I click to open configuration.h to modify it doesn't open in Ardino. So how to I change the values?

    I figured out how to open the configuration.h, but what values do I put in ?
    #define HEATER_0_MAXTEMP 330
    #define HEATER_1_MAXTEMP 275
    #define HEATER_2_MAXTEMP 275
    #define BED_MAXTEMP 150

    -What is heater_0, 1, 2

    Ok well you didn't answer the important question, but if you bought it in September I'll assume you have a bottom cover R1 (with smooth rods that run to the top)

    Use this firmware: https://www.dropbox.com/s/q8gdww8g7zybidc/Robo3dR1V2.zip?dl=0

    Open Robo3dR1v2.ino file to edit the configuration.h file.

    change max temp from 240 (just ctrl+f 240) to 295 to 320.

    Change thermistor type from 1 to 5 (ctrl+f semitec)

    heater 0 is your nozzle, Heater 1 and 2 would be for multiple extruders.

    Also when I try to verify this in Ardino this comes up
    Marlin.ino:44:101: fatal error: U8glib.h: No such file or directory
    compilation terminated.
    Error compiling.

    My temperature for the extruder is reading 0 now, after installing Marlin.
