Topic: Da Vinci 1.0 Repetier .92 help

First 3d Printer, 3d Printing noob, Computer saavy.

I just bought a used Da Vinci and used it to make 2 prints. First thing though is I'm having an issue w/ Homing Y. It tried to Home Y Before everything it does... but Y is already home. So it just sits there grinding loudly and shaking the belts around wildly.

2) How do I check for and update the FW? It's been sitting for a couple years so I don't know if it's on the newest version.

3) How can I reset the FW to stock since I don't know what the previous owner might have fiddled with.

4) What should I do to increase print quality? Is there a set of stock settings I should go with? Where would I go to get direction to tuning it?

5) Attempting to auto level fails immediately with the following error: Z Prove failed

Any help is appreciated. Ty for taking the time.

When you say homing is this when you execute a print? If that is the case then the issue is your homing order in your start gcode of your Host which I am guessing is Repetier as well.

You guess correct, but it's anything. When I print, when I clean nozzle, when I "Home All", it always tries to home Y when it's already home and just grinds in the corner

Sounds like your X ends top is not triggering. Turn the printer on and move the head to the back right corner by hand. Move the bed up until it hits the end stop. Now in the terminal window in Repetier host type M119 and press send. The printer should report back the status of all endstops. Report back that status and we will go from their.

NVM I figured it out, was Gcode. found it in the manual control tab.

Here's response:

(Tray is not all the way up as I could not manually push  it and I had it lowered from last use)
