Topic: Is my printer braind dead?
I FINALLY updated the firmware after many failed attempts.
I found this thread: http://www.soliforum.com/topic/4520/e3d … lp/page/2/
On the last page, I obviously had many issues as it would not compile as I tried for over an hour. Frustrated, today I was finally able to compile the firmware. I was excited when I wired my board back up and all the lights and fans came on. I was stoked and proud.
But:
-As I clicked Z+, the rod spun but the bed did not move an inch.
-As I clicked home, it began moving back and to the left instead of back and to the right.
-I heated the extruder and it smelled as if something was burning. I retracted some filament and it FLEW out at a rediculous speed.
-I extruded 50mm and it violently grabbed the filament and bent it at the top, causing the filament to want to "double up" inside the E3D.
One thing that struck me odd: When I was updating the firmware, Arduino would not compile until I clicked on tools and changed the board to ++2 Teensy.
Also, on the thread I linked, it said to change Motherbard from 62 to 81. But this is not mentioned one bit on the Soliwiki page.
Please oh please oh please don't tell me it is dead! Can I fix it????
