I am not sure how to fix this as soon as i tell it to print it looks good and then it does this should i return it ? or is there something that i am doing wrong
its auto leveling then sounds like filament feed jammed. did you let everything heat up b4 printing like normal? and is it heating/melting filament? if so something is not letting it feed sounds like.
maybe a shipping strap still tight?? follow unpacking instructions again
So I should try heating everything up first before I try it I was trying to dry run
The z pushes up he heat plate into the extruder
There will be an end stop switch that the bed platform hits. It sounds like that needs to be adjusted so the z stops before it hits the nozzle.
Pictures would help, since none of us has seen your printer up close it'll be difficult to give exact answers but I am sure we can get you up and running fairly quickly.
It pushes on the switch but keeps on going
But it does a self-leveling and then after it's done self-leveling it pushes off all the way up
I will post a picture when I get home
You're going to want to check the wires and connector to the board for that switch.
It's the switch and shuts off during the self-leveling
That's why don't understand when he gets done with the six checkpoints at the end and it pushes itself all the way up
I'll make another video and show how this which works
That's why I think the printer is bad
I didn't just pay in $800 for printer that does not work and I have to work on it straight out of box that's stupid
I am guessing you aren't very familiar with 3d printers?
If your willing to put in the time and effort I'll be happy to help. I can assure you that your printer isn't bad. That doesn't mean something isn't screwed up or broken. The systems for all 3d printers are pretty much the same. If something is actually broken you'll want to contact SD support. There is an easy solution to most problems. We just need to figure out what isn't working properly.
This is my third 3-D printer would've thought the quality was a little better
Yes I want to fix it i've been working on it for about eight hours trying to figure out how to adjust it
That will make things easier.
When you get a chance get some pictures or a video.
Is there an easy way to remove the auto leveling from the start code?
I don't know I will look in the coding
this is what it does when i tell it to go home
and this is what happen when i want it to print on a dry run its not heated up yet
dry run means with no filament loaded into extruder. I never do one
Does the same thing when it's heated
Can you screenshot the custom startup script? Are you using Slic3r?
well all videos show it laying on its side for starters. even bed adjusting springs are tilted.
here is a better one still sideways
here is what happens when i click on home it will go up to the switch and turn off
here is the code lines
What size nozzles are on a that?
• Solidoodle Workbench Apprentice
• Creates plastic parts up to 6" x 6" x 8"
• Uses 1.75mm plastic filament (ABS/PLA)
• Heated Aluminum Build Platform with Glass Bed
• Dual extruder
• Resolution up to .1mm
• 13.3" x 15" x 14" footprint (L x W x H)
• SoliTouch Technology - no manual calibration
I am guessing you have 2 .40 nozzles.
Doesn't it seem odd that you have an infill extrusion width of 1.28?
And a top infill of .68?
i have it set to .42 now
This is where you find your start code get us a screenshot
