My suspicion is newer firmware disables the printer if you try to use third party filament7. By disabled I mean just what yours is doing. Rejecting known good carts.
Sounds like its time you came over to the Repetier side. My guess is they know you used a resetter and know to them you are no longer a customer since using a resetter voids your warranty with the new firmware that calls home all the time.
Another issue that some others have seen is they are getting filament probably older stock from store inventory that is not in the current XYZ database. The way the new firmware works is it calls home anytime a cartridge is loaded. It checks the serial number on that cartridge against a database of sold cartridges. My guess is there was a cutoff date that they said that from this serial onward will be recorded. Anything not recorded gets rejected as being a tampered cartridge.
I dont think they took in to account that vendors could have old stock sonce not everyone practices first in first out stock rotation. Especially with something like plastic that last hundreds of years. So now some of that old stock is getting out to users and machines running newer firmware are rejecting them since they are not found in the database.
]]>I think flashing it with an older firmware will fix the issue.
]]>There were two types of errors I had:
- one was simple, the cartridge wasn't seated correctly on the spring connectors at the base so the EEPROM wasn't making a good connection. I had accidentally dropped the little rubber insert down there, so the cartridge sat proud off the connector at the base.
- The other error was due to incorrect EEPROM programming in an earlier version of the resetter I was using.
BUT - reading the various posts your problem may be due to a later firmware version which rejects re-programmed EEPROMs. The resetter you are using will specify which firmware is safe to use it with.
