Chamber Overheat - Enclosure Temperature Exceeds Safe Limit
Quick Answer
Error code E12 on your FlashForge FDM 3D Printers means: Chamber Overheat - Enclosure Temperature Exceeds Safe Limit. This is usually fixable — see the step-by-step guide below.
Likely Causes
  1. Printing high-temperature materials (ABS, PC) for extended periods with the enclosure fully sealed
  2. Chamber ventilation fan has failed or is running below speed
  3. Ambient room temperature combined with printer heat generation exceeding thermal limits
  4. Enclosure door seal preventing adequate heat dissipation
How to Fix It
1
Open the enclosure door slightly to allow excess heat to escape
2
Check that the chamber ventilation fan is running by listening for airflow at the exhaust vent
3
Reduce print speed to lower the heat generated by the motors and hotend
4
Move the printer to a cooler location away from heat sources
5
If the chamber fan has failed, replace it before printing enclosed materials again
Pro Tip
This fix requires some technical knowledge. If you're unsure about any step, consider contacting support or a qualified technician.
