Welcome to 3DPrinting.SE! Note that many beds will not reach the 100 °C mark. Insulation sometimes makes a difference. What is more concerning is the negative bed temperature, this usually tells you the thermistor is bad. Have you recently changed the firmware for a custom firmware?

it could also be a mis-calibrated thermosensor

@0scar I already did two firmware updates, but I didn't install a custom firmware, it was always the original Flashforge firmware that got updated.

@Trish Do you know whether it's possible to calibrate the thermosensor?

It is good to know that you used original firmware upgrades, this rules out an incorrect thermistor translation table (voltage to temperature). With respect to the mis-calibration, using an estimated room temperature of about 20 °C (depends on your room temperature/location) you get a 31 °C offset, so a 120 °C bed temperature which is usually higher than the beds can go. If insulated well, the best you can get from beds is about 110 °C as far as I know.

Calibrating a Thermosensor is altering the associated table in the firmware. Which is why it is essential to know if you altered the firmware.

@0scar 110 witnout a chamber and normal setup. My local materials science lab in the uni had a setup that for (as fasr as the student claimed) could get 130 bed temperature, but he didn't tell what was the setup... :/

I can only estimate the room temperature, I would guess about 17°C. 

Maybe I should try to install the firmware version that has been installed when I bought It (if that is possible). After the purchase it was working well, but I can't remember when the behavior changed.

# Flashforge Adventurer 3 - bed temperature not going over 89 °C

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-10-27)

I have an issue with my Flashforge Adventurer 3. When printing with ABS, the bed temperature is not going over 89 °C. Additionally, when I connect to the printer with Flashprint, it displays a negative bed temperature (when I connect to the printer, the bed temperature is displayed as -11 °C).

Is it somehow possible to calibrate the temperature? Or is there any other solution for this issue?
