Hi guys I've had a good 4 month break from printing due to some personal issues but before I took a break I had a thermistor issue with my CR10 V2 and I was advised to get a new board and screen bundle https://biqu.equipment/products/bigtreetech-skr-mini-e3-v2-0-32-bit-control-board-integrated-tmc2209-uart-for-ender-4 but I'm lost getting it put together I seem to have made some headway plugging into the board but I could do with some more expert eyes helping me if possible

#

What is it you are having issues with?

#

The screen only has 1 cable to plug into 1 port on the board

pulsar junco Feb 16, 2024, 9:12 PM

#

basically the whole wiring I've got no clue if they're in the right ports etc

#

its a mess basically

unreal rover Feb 16, 2024, 9:18 PM

#

Well, the PCB has the name of the port labeled and I see that your wires are also labeled so just connect the names.

pulsar junco Feb 16, 2024, 9:22 PM

#

I've got these two wires which go to the gantry which I'm not sure what they are and a d11 plug that I can't find a slot for

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_b3e7de33-e728-4fbc-8d26-7aa287682d90.jpg

#

I do know the d11 pin is only if I'm plugging a bl touch into my mini board so I'm going to try to run that to the board itself

ancient frost Feb 16, 2024, 10:20 PM

#

@pulsar junco take a picture from the board as it is now from the top down. so we can see the entire board.

#

and i am pretty sure looking at the width of those wires that that is probably your hotend.

pulsar junco Feb 16, 2024, 10:29 PM

#

So I just redid everything got it turned on and my extruder began smoking 😳

#

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_f1b06b29-a3a3-45dd-a8fb-81c1f60e2d3b.jpg

#

Can't really see much from that tbh

ancient frost Feb 16, 2024, 10:33 PM

#

oh did you plug those cables into the e0 pin-outs?

#

its the reason i wanted to see your entire board.

pulsar junco Feb 16, 2024, 10:35 PM

#

I found a wiring guide and it told me to pin them in

#

What could be the smoking issue? Wrong fan connected or something?

ancient frost Feb 16, 2024, 10:36 PM

#

smoking issue?

#

what.

pulsar junco Feb 16, 2024, 10:38 PM

#

I turned on just to check it and my hotend started to melt itself 😶

unreal rover Feb 16, 2024, 10:39 PM

#

What

#

That's no good

ancient frost Feb 16, 2024, 10:40 PM

#

though looking at that picture you have black wire and black wire next to each other on e0 and HB

#

i might be color blind though

#

flip the board around and take a look and see if you are wired correctly.. though. ngl. hotend might be toast.

pulsar junco Feb 16, 2024, 10:41 PM

#

These two?

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_b039e2f0-5db9-4850-8681-5d52b3d8e27a.jpg

#

Hotend seems fine It was just melting the housing and I got to it super quick

ancient frost Feb 16, 2024, 10:42 PM

#

also the fact you probably dont have firmware on there might force the power to go there unregulated.

pulsar junco Feb 16, 2024, 10:42 PM

#

Ahhh that might be it

#

I haven't even begun firmware stuff

ancient frost Feb 16, 2024, 10:42 PM

#

and yes. that looks like red black black red

pulsar junco Feb 16, 2024, 10:43 PM

#

Any thoughts?

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_87e00159-c788-481c-8022-54b810b007b8.jpg

ancient frost Feb 16, 2024, 10:46 PM

#

well thats nice..

#

im sorry. its good that you apparently know how to read.. who in the hell decides to switch around VIN and make my life more confusing than its supposed to be.

#

just to make sure, you wired correctly. though i might suggest removing the hotend cables again. when you decide to do the firmware just in case.

#

so which cable are you still missing or have you plugged everything in?

pulsar junco Feb 16, 2024, 10:57 PM

#

I've got 2 fans I can't find a port for and they are both in the control box

#

And sorry if I'm being stupid its very late and this has been in parts for months and I'm just trying to get it fixed 😦

ancient frost Feb 16, 2024, 11:02 PM

#

what where the fans for. and no worries.

#

that board only has 2 fan ports

#

are you saying in total you have 4 fans?

pulsar junco Feb 16, 2024, 11:03 PM

#

Two fans found here and here

#

Think it just keeps the board cool

ancient frost Feb 16, 2024, 11:04 PM

#

it does.

#

technically. most ppl who end up upgrading to a better board decide to get rid of the entire controlbox.

#

thats thing is ugly and nobody really likes it.

pulsar junco Feb 16, 2024, 11:04 PM

#

I kinda like it

#

😄

ancient frost Feb 16, 2024, 11:04 PM

#

lol. of course.

pulsar junco Feb 16, 2024, 11:05 PM

#

Can I maybe splice the wires into one port or do I just get rid of them?

ancient frost Feb 16, 2024, 11:05 PM

#

well the easiest solution would be to wire the fans together and then directly into the psu.

#

since they are always on.

pulsar junco Feb 16, 2024, 11:06 PM

#

What port do you recommend fan0, fan1?

ancient frost Feb 16, 2024, 11:07 PM

#

you could also hook them up to one of the other fans. like the heat break fan. and then control those fans if the hotend is on. turn those on as well.

#

youd do that over the firmware.

pulsar junco Feb 16, 2024, 11:08 PM

#

Right so would I just simply solder the fans into one or do it another way?

ancient frost Feb 16, 2024, 11:09 PM

#

id get something like a wago instead

#

soldering is a pain in the ...

#

google this. wago connectors 221

pulsar junco Feb 16, 2024, 11:15 PM

#

Yeah I've used wagos before 🙂

#

Think I've got some saying around somewhere

#

Layinh*

ancient frost Feb 16, 2024, 11:15 PM

#

id use those instead 🙂

pulsar junco Feb 16, 2024, 11:18 PM

#

How should I go about setting up firmware, I've read things that say with this board and a CR10 v2 you need to build your own

ancient frost Feb 16, 2024, 11:19 PM

#

cr-10v2?

#

nice printer

#

i have the cr-10v3

pulsar junco Feb 16, 2024, 11:19 PM

#

Thanks 🙂 my other printer is a Ender 3 v2

#

Which was also my first

ancient frost Feb 16, 2024, 11:20 PM

#

which firmware?

#

marlin?

pulsar junco Feb 16, 2024, 11:20 PM

#

Think so haven't used it in months

#

Like I said in my post had to have a break for reasons and its like I've forgotten absolutely everything

ancient frost Feb 16, 2024, 11:21 PM

#

all good.

i always used this.. as a guide.

i may have fixed it but i wont know for a few minutes

#

i was having issues with platformIO not finding the Python interpreter so i just wiped everything and started from scratch

#

ancient frost whats the error you are getting?

Just throws that out every time

ancient frost Feb 17, 2024, 7:28 PM

#

right i had to try that myself. i got it to compile. though. you are using the wrong MCU. so my guess is you went ahead and did it 1:1 from that site.. but i meant to use that as a guide instead

#

i havnt compiled marlin in ages lol.. that took me a second to understand again.

#

pulsar junco Feb 17, 2024, 7:32 PM

#

i did alter it to the correct board and stuff though

#

i used the "bigTreeTech SKR Mini E3 2.0" example file copied that over then changed the values to what the CR10 has like the bed size and everything

ancient frost Feb 17, 2024, 7:47 PM

#

oh.. lol. its supposed the be the other way around

#

you want to use the creality examples in the configuration folder..

#

and then use the motherboard

#

make sure platformio.ini has be updated with the correct mcu chip

#

#

and are you using a bltouch?

pulsar junco Feb 17, 2024, 7:58 PM

#

i am yes

pulsar junco Feb 17, 2024, 7:59 PM

#

ancient frost oh.. lol. its supposed the be the other way around

oops

#

lol

pulsar junco Feb 17, 2024, 8:04 PM

#

ancient frost and then use the motherboard

where can i find that part?

#

ah nevermind found it

ancient frost Feb 17, 2024, 8:04 PM

#

what do you mean?

#

lol.

#

config wise everything is in configuration.h and configuration_adv.h

#

well those are the only 2 files you should be editing.

#

if you touch any of the other files you will probably break something.

pulsar junco Feb 17, 2024, 8:05 PM

#

ah right

#

so what about the BL touch?

ancient frost Feb 17, 2024, 8:06 PM

#

should be enabled.. you might have to switch some stuff around though like pin outs.

pulsar junco Feb 17, 2024, 8:06 PM

#

ive got it plugged into the probe port on the board itself if that makes any difference

ancient frost Feb 17, 2024, 8:06 PM

#

yes.

pulsar junco Feb 17, 2024, 8:07 PM

#

i was following that tutorial and it said about the BLTouch ill have to replay it

#

ah yep its already done

#

nice

now building

ill take a look

#

Thx hirnspiel

ancient frost Feb 17, 2024, 8:12 PM

#

if you really get stuck ill help out, but i actually want you do get this yourself.. once you do.. upgrading, moding the printer and doing any changes over the firmware will be a piece of cake 🙂

pulsar junco Feb 17, 2024, 8:12 PM

#

yeah i understand and i appreciate it

#

i have been wanting to learn this stuff

ancient frost Feb 17, 2024, 8:14 PM

#

though i will tell you, if you ever decide to really jump into the rabbit hole of firmware youll end up doing klipper. and thats a totally different kind of beast with the cr-10 v2/3 😄

pulsar junco Feb 17, 2024, 8:15 PM

#

i have a friend who got his first 3d printer and hes already running Klipper but he is much better at coding than me lol

ancient frost Feb 17, 2024, 8:16 PM

#

doesnt matter. if you dont start somewhere youll never learn. and marlin is a really great firmware for beginners.

pulsar junco Feb 17, 2024, 8:16 PM

#

yeah my thoughts exactly and i do appreciate what you guys do to help beginners no matter how frustratingly simple it is

#

everyone starts somewhere even the experts

ancient frost Feb 17, 2024, 8:18 PM

jup 🙂 my thought is acutally if i help you now.. i can give you the job later on the help the others 😄

pulsar junco Feb 17, 2024, 8:18 PM

exactly!

pulsar junco Feb 17, 2024, 8:49 PM

#

@ancient frost hit my first block

#

#

i have a TFT35-E3 so how would I put that into the firmware or doesnt it matter?

#

and just stick with CR10_stockdisplay

pulsar junco Feb 17, 2024, 9:10 PM

#

so ive gone through everything apart from that LCD part which i cant figure out

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 3:29 PM

#

been researching and still cant find anything but there is a TFT35 option but its tied to a MKS_ROBIN_TFT35 option 🤷‍♂️

#

which is a touch screen only screen

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 4:42 PM

#

the tft35-e3 which version do dyou have?

try this . //#define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 5:41 PM

#

will do

#

so do i just let them build now?

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 5:42 PM

#

yes, the important part is that it goes through

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 5:43 PM

#

okay

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 5:43 PM

#

if you get warnings.,, thats fine.. firmware will work without issues.. its the errors that are problematic.

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 5:44 PM

#

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 5:45 PM

upload the configuration.h here..

#

ill take a look

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 5:45 PM

#

📎 Configuration.h

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 5:47 PM

as a comment

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 5:48 PM

#

👍

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 5:51 PM

#

whats you max temp on your hotend.. its currently locked at 255 which means max temp of 240

#

since the upper 15C are for runout

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 5:51 PM

#

i have the stock CR10 v2 hotend on at the moment ill have to look it up

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 5:52 PM

#

all good ill take a look

#

i keep forgetting you have cr-10v2

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 5:52 PM

#

lol

#

apparently its 260 degrees celsius

#

according to 3DPrintersBay

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 5:53 PM

#

sounds good ill set it at 285

#

question you have dual z right?

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 5:55 PM

#

no clue 😅

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 5:56 PM

#

its fine im looking at the pinout schematics of e3 mini v2

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 5:56 PM

#

ah wait yes i do

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 6:02 PM

#

do you remember your e-steps?

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 6:02 PM

#

not off the top of my head no

#

where can i find them?

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 6:02 PM

#

they are currently set to 97

#

thats a default value.. you would have to redo your e-steps

#

i marked it.

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 6:03 PM

#

im now watching a video on esteps

#

seems fairly simple

#

never actually knew to do that

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 6:08 PM

#

it is. you just have to have done it atleast once to understand it 🙂

#

sorry almost finished.. just checking everything.

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 6:08 PM

#

all good i appreciate it

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 6:14 PM

#

can you send me configuration_adv.h file as well please

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 6:14 PM

#

yup

#

📎 Configuration_adv.h

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 6:18 PM

#

📎 Configuration.h 📎 Configuration_adv.h

#

i flagged any changes i made with //hirnspiel just search for that.. and then try. 😄

#

i didnt do any changes in configuration_adv.h

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 6:23 PM

#

okay ill give it a try

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 6:23 PM

#

give me a second.

#

im giving it a try on my system first..

#

there is some wierd error

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 6:23 PM

#

gotcha

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 6:31 PM

#

where did you get the configuration file from?

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 6:32 PM

#

github like the tutorial showed

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 6:32 PM

#

wierd i have descrepancy from config file version..

#

this is the example file #define CONFIGURATION_H_VERSION 02010202

#

this is yours. #define CONFIGURATION_H_VERSION 02010300

#

can you take a screen shot of where you got it from.

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 6:34 PM

#

i can in around 10 mins im just finishing something off 🙂

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 6:34 PM

#

no problem.. take your time.

#

in the mean time im going to update the correct config file with the changes

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 6:51 PM

#

📎 Marlin-2.1.2.2.7z

#

apparently they made some changes.

#

cr-10_stockdisplay for the tft35-e3-v3 display.

#

anyways that should compile. check the comments //hirnspiel to see the changes..

#

and then compile to see if you can compile on your machine.

#

dont forget to update your configuration.h file if you do e-steps calibration and stuff like that.. so its automatically compiled into any changes or firmware upgrades you might make 🙂

#

otherwise youll have to do it from scratch.

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 7:19 PM

#

right im back on my PC sorry it took so long

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 7:26 PM

#

no worries, i sent you the 7zip file of the entire marlin including the updated config files.

#

those compile. so you should have a great starting point.

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 7:30 PM

#

now building them 🙂

#

so after building them do i just throw them onto my sd card and plug it in like normal firmware updates or something else?

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 7:31 PM

#

do you see that folder .pio in the explorer tree in visual code?

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 7:32 PM

#

yep

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 7:33 PM

#

youll have a build folder and then the mcu chip name which will also be a folder.

#

in there you will find the file firmware.bin upload this file wihtout renaming to sdcard plug into board and power up.

#

it will install the firmware.. it shouldnt take long er than 1 minute.

#

if nothing happens there might be an error but i doubt. it.

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 7:34 PM

#

yeah ive done that with my Ender 3 V2 before

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 7:34 PM

#

oh okay 😄

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 7:34 PM

#

so about the esteps do i just calibrate them normally on the printer or do i have to write it into the Firmware again?

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 7:35 PM

#

you do it on the printer.. but it would be a good idea to update the configuration.h file with the new numbers as well.

#

incase you change something youll have them in the firmware set, so you dont have to redo them.

#

also. before printing. test all the axis. etc.. keep your finger on the power button just incase.

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 7:36 PM

#

found the firmware.bin

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 7:36 PM

#

did you look at all the //hirnspiel settings i changed?

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 7:36 PM

#

oops forgot that

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 7:36 PM

#

btw. i forgot to enable z-probe wizard. so youll ahve to do that.

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 7:36 PM

#

ill look now

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 7:36 PM

#

its in configuration_adv.h search for wizard. 🙂

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 7:38 PM

thats the one.

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 7:39 PM

#

ahhhhhh

#

enabled it

#

ive read throught the notes

#

so if my motors are reversed i just change the invert_Z_DIR to false or true?

#

@ancient frost it's saying no sd card detected

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 7:52 PM

#

pulsar junco so if my motors are reversed i just change the invert_Z_DIR to false or true?

yes

#

did it install the firmware?

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 7:53 PM

#

I put in the board port not the screen

#

I plugged the sd card in but it just booted like normal

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 7:54 PM

#

what?

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 7:54 PM

#

Hang on I'll do a video

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 7:54 PM

#

yes please, thank you 🙂

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 7:54 PM

#

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 7:55 PM

#

? you are trying to update the firmware on the board right?

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 7:55 PM

#

Yep

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 7:55 PM

#

you should be putting that into the board.

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 7:55 PM

#

Same thing happened on the board though

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 7:56 PM

#

also. make sure sdcard is formatted as fat32

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 7:56 PM

#

Just booted normally

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 7:56 PM

#

check the version

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 7:56 PM

#

Ah might not be formatted right

#

for some reason the .bin file turned into a .CUR file

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 7:58 PM

#

then it installed

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 7:58 PM

#

it did install then

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 7:58 PM

#

yes

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 7:58 PM

#

weird it didnt show like im used to lol

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 7:58 PM

#

click the menu button on the screen

#

and check under information or about or general

#

and see which firmware version is on there

#

there is also a really much easier way..

and connect through there.

#

have you ever done anything with pronterface?

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 8:01 PM

You'll have to give me a few mins lol this printers alll the way in my garage and my desktop is alllll the way upstairs 😂

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 8:01 PM

lol. sorry.. no laptop or anything?

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 8:01 PM

#

Gimme a sec actually

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 8:02 PM

#

or raspberry pi?

#

lol. octoprint terminal would also work 😄

#

but honestly. if you say you have an raspberry pi. im gonna get angry.. cause you should be using klipper then.

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 8:04 PM

#

I have acquired a laptop

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_18569ada-905c-4b68-9c7d-2b811d80dd71.jpg

#

Its a very slow laptop

#

Ofc windows update

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 8:15 PM

#

all good 🙂

#

now to my question from earlier. do you have a raspberry pi?

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 8:16 PM

#

Nope

#

I'm not fancy like that

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 8:16 PM

#

okay.

#

just making sure 😄

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 8:16 PM

#

Nor octoprint

#

I did look into it but didn't see the point

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 8:16 PM

#

really how come?

#

i really enjoy having octoprint or mainsail in my case. 😄

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 8:17 PM

#

I may do it in the future don't get me wrong just with the volume I print at, at the moment I don't see the point 😂

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 8:18 PM

#

ahh okay. it does make sense.. if you print every now and then. it wouldnt really make sense when you can walk the few steps to the printer 😄

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 8:19 PM

#

Yeah and if I'm away from it I have people who can check for me

#

I have human octoprint

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 8:20 PM

Its done!

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 8:53 PM

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 8:53 PM

I'll have to grab pronterface quickly

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 8:54 PM

its a software that is included in printrun

#

https://github.com/kliment/Printrun/releases/download/printrun-1.6.0/Printrun-win-18Nov2017.zip im not sure if the version 2 works.

just and fyi

#

Just going to take it to my desktop

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 8:59 PM

okay.

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 9:00 PM

Can I just take the control box up or do I need the while printer?

#

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 9:01 PM

#

i think you needthe whole printer.

#

im not sure though

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 9:01 PM

#

Okay

#

Better to be safe than sorry

#

right its plugged in

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 9:22 PM

#

sorry.. i am trying to figure out where interfaces.d went in ubuntu 22.04.2

#

i love how the change stuff around.

#

anyways pronterface up and runnig and connected ?

#

if not open device manager to see which com port (under usb section) and see which one is active.

#

itll be something like com3 etc..

#

then put that into pronterface at the top taskbar. and use baudrate 250000

#

hit connect and tell me if the terminal window on the right says something like "connected to printer"

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 9:25 PM

in principle M503 gives you all the settings you have done.

in a simple read me way. 😄

its also the way you can change your settings

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 9:32 PM

oh cool

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 9:32 PM

#

for instance..

#

https://marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/M092.html

Marlin Firmware

Set Axis Steps-per-unit

Use M92 to set the steps-per-unit for one or more axes. This setting affects how many steps will be done for each unit of movement.

#

M92 E189; will set the new e-steps

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 9:33 PM

ohhhhh

coooool

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 9:33 PM

#

once you figure out what your e-steps are

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 9:33 PM

#

yeah ill need the printer reassembled to that i think

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 9:33 PM

#

E <- for extruder and 189 fictional number i used

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 9:33 PM

#

so whats next?

#

🙂

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 9:34 PM

#

youll have to test axis, etc, but i would help if everything assembled.. then you make changes like invert stepper direction, in the firmware compile. reflash using sdcard.. and then you calibrate and tune your printer

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 9:35 PM

#

so the board is installed properly and everything?

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 9:35 PM

#

until its assembled. i wouldnt do anything grandios 😄

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 9:35 PM

#

yeah thatll be a job for tomorrow morning i think XD

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 9:35 PM

#

jup. the fact you connected to it without issue is a good sign 😄

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 9:35 PM

#

oh thank jebus

#

well ill give it a rest for tonight i think and ill pick it up first thing in the morning

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 9:35 PM

#

you might want to click through the screen and see if the options are there

#

the fact that the screen says no printer connected is an error. its should be connected.

#

its kinda a bug.

#

also personal preference. use the sdport on the board instead of the screen. it doesnt always work correctly. but i never went after fixing it. since i ended up connecting a pi and doing everything over web interface. it might be fixed with some display firmware updates.

#

i ended up removing my entire display it was annoying after doing everything over the web interface.

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 9:39 PM

#

so at the mo the axis arent doing anything but that may be something ive not plugged back in

#

or its to do with no printer attached

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 9:39 PM

#

over the screen?

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 9:40 PM

#

yeah the screen isnt moving the axis

ancient frost Feb 18, 2024, 9:40 PM

#

did you home the printer first?

#

keep finger on power button

pulsar junco Feb 18, 2024, 9:40 PM

@pulsar junco hey did you get a chance to play around with your install? do you still need help?

pulsar junco Mar 8, 2024, 3:19 PM

#

I've not had time yet been veryy busy but from what I have done on my own my axis motors still seem to not work and I'm having that heating problem where the extruder just gets extremely hot on its own

pulsar junco Mar 8, 2024, 3:19 PM

#

pulsar junco I've plugged these two back in

#

From what I've dug up online these wires are the 24v for the extruder

#

So somethings obviously being overloaded and causing that heat issue

#

Wether I need to change that 24v to 12v I don't know

ancient frost Mar 8, 2024, 6:01 PM

#

can you remember what the issue with the motors was? just that they where not moving or they where stuttering?

#

as for the hotend.. youll have to look that up and see if thats a 12V or 24V hotend. thats important.

pulsar junco Mar 8, 2024, 6:03 PM

#

They weren't working at all

ancient frost Mar 8, 2024, 6:59 PM

#

yeah which is really odd. are they even receiving any power? do you have a multimeter?

pulsar junco Mar 8, 2024, 7:33 PM

#

I do not, it could be something I've plugged in wrong though so might need some more tinkering

ancient frost Mar 9, 2024, 8:54 AM

i would really suggest getting a multimeter just to be safe. they are not expensive and totally worth it to have around even if you only use it once a year..
