Heated Chamber/Enclosure/Housing
Hey folks, I need your help.
I have a cartesian printer with Radds, Repetier Firmware, RepetierServerPro and a housing.
Now i want to control the temperature inside the enclosure.
Somewhere here, i read, that i have to use a second extruder.
My problems is, that i cannot find a description or a thread, where it is described how the extruder1 should be defined exactly, so I can active the heat chamber curve in RepetierServer.
I hope you can help me with my problem.

In Rokos solution you have no extra heater. The bed would heat the chamber. Then you can use a thermocontrolled fan to reduce the temperature in case it gets hotter then wanted.
Thanks , I had not considered he might want to heat it, I was thinking of just keeping it cooled to a certain temp.
I guess i can use both of your methods you mentioned, to obtain a temperature range between for example 40°C-45°C.
I can heat the chamber with M104 T1 S40 and if the chamber gets too hot i can cool it with the thermocontrolled fan at 45°.
I will try this solution in the next days!
But it is pretty annoying that i have to upload a new Firmware to change the Temperatur for the thermocontrolled fan, which depends if i print PLA oder ABS.
Perhaps we can get a smoother solution in further releases.
M460 X<minTemp> Y<maxTemp> : Set temperature range for thermo controlled fan
use this to config your fan max temperature in slicer file.
