Thank you.  Since I did a pid tuning session everything is good.

<p>For people from google:
Go to configuration_adv.h in the marlin firmware source code, and search for &quot;THERMAL_PROTECTION_HYSTERESIS&quot;. Then increase the number. The number is how much degress celsius the temperature can be off before thermal runaway</p>

This is the correct answer to the question that was asked. While the solution to the OPs problem was pid tuning, this is the correct place in Marlin to change the number of degrees off before triggering an error.

@agarza this config changes the sensitivity of the thermal runaway. so its exactly what the op asked

Ok, I see now. This is basically a "how to fix it in code" solution. Learn something new everyday. Thanks for enlightening me.

<p>Sometimes I use a DIY 3D printer running Marlin firmware and I have a hard time to set my heat bed temperature. when I set it to 70&nbsp;&deg;C for PLA, after a few minutes it decreases to 67&nbsp;&deg;C and I see these error:</p>

<pre><code>READ: Error:Thermal Runaway, system stopped! Heater_ID: bed
READ: Error:Printer halted. kill() called!
</code></pre>

<p>Since then the communication with printer is lost, the printing process stops and I have to reconnect to serial port... It's a disaster. I guess I need to lower the sensitivity to 3 degrees at least. I don't know how!?</p>

Have you PID tuned the heated bed?

aside note: as an upgrade you can add an insulation under your HB to keep the temperature more constant

@0scar No, I'm using the default pid parameters. I Thought it would mess it up if I changed them.

@ darth pixel , I'm using an insulator, however it doesn't cover all the surface beneath HB.

First thing to do is do a PID tuning session! :)

How to decrease sensitivity to heat-bed temperature?

# How to decrease sensitivity to heat-bed temperature?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-05-07)

Sometimes I use a DIY 3D printer running Marlin firmware and I have a hard time to set my heat bed temperature. when I set it to 70 °C for PLA, after a few minutes it decreases to 67 °C and I see these error:

```
READ: Error:Thermal Runaway, system stopped! Heater_ID: bed
READ: Error:Printer halted. kill() called!

```

Since then the communication with printer is lost, the printing process stops and I have to reconnect to serial port... It's a disaster. I guess I need to lower the sensitivity to 3 degrees at least. I don't know how!?
