In this episode of our 3D printing technology podcast, our host John discusses an important printer safety issue that all makers should be aware of. Thermal runaway occurs when a printer's temperature control system fails, causing temperatures to rise uncontrolled and potentially damaging the printer or even starting fires.

What Causes Thermal Runaway?

John explains the main causes of thermal runaway like faulty sensors, heating elements, or firmware bugs. He also provides practical tips listeners can follow to help prevent this dangerous situation, like regular maintenance and software updates.

Tune in to learn how to recognize signs of overheating and what to do in an emergency. John aims to help hobbyists and professionals alike safely enjoy the fascinating world of 3D printing.
