I just installed an E3d v6 on my Solidoodle 3. It seemed like everything was going right until I connected to Repetier and tried to heat the extruder. It would work briefly then stop. It all stopped working at once (X,Y and Z movement, extruder function etc..) When I press disconnect and then connect again, it all works briefly then stops working again. Could it be my Repetier settings?
Did you update the firmware? This is a mandatory step or you will have several issues similar to what you mention.
You could also have a short. What errors are you showing?
If the temp sensor isnt reading correctly it will throw a m999 error and it will prevent the motors from moving.
^that.
You have a short or loose wire.
I am experiencing a similar issue. I have a solidoodle 4 which I am in the process of installing a v6 on. Without the v6 even plugged in. The manual controls don't do anything. The home buttons work but the other ones don't. It also gives a m999 error, but nothing is plugged in to the thermistor connector. Does anybody know what might be causing this?
The fact that you have nothing plugged into the thermistor is causing this. Why isn't your thermistor plugged in?
Congrats on your first post
Nothing plugged into the thermistor connection would result in a temperature fault. There has to be a valid temperature reading for the printer to do anything, it is a safety interlock.
oh, that makes sense. The thermistor is not plugged in because I am working on a mounting bracket and connecting wires to the v6.
I updated the firmware when I did the upgrade and didn't get an error. When I start repetier it does nothing else out of the ordinary except for the movement issue. I'll double check my wiring
I would like to upgrade to the e3d hot end but Where can I find the firmware upgrade for a printrboard?
It (along with the instructions) are posted on the WIKI.
Yes I clicked on the link for it in the wiki for the printrboard one and I comes up and says this page does not exist.

I'm not having any issues viewing it.
works fine for me as well.
Browser issue perhaps?
It worked with that link I was using this one http://www.soliwiki.com/E3D_extruder
