Sorry for the super long post. Just wanting to be as detailed as I can. Pictures can be supplyed on request
So I recently got a Geeetech i3 Pro B kit and after a few hours of building I finally got it all together. Set it up on the side, looked up everything I could to do with the software, firmware and any little tweaks and tips and as far as I am aware set it all up correctly.
First played around with the auto home and moving the axes. Right away as soon as the Z axes started moving it squealed and crunched with every movement. I checked both sides were the exact same height, I checked all screw were fully in, checked everything I could and make it all perfect. Tried moving it up a few mm and it was quite then suddenly boom back to squeaking. Then when it has stopped rotating the motors were just shaking and jittering (Very loud).
I used Cura to slice and then print out a test cube with a few layers of skirt and set it off. First issue I got was the hot end thermostat kept going to 0 and so had to fiddle with the wires until I got them to a angle just right that it stayed showing the correct temp.
Next issue I found was that whenever it started printing the print head would go around 15mm higher then the print bed (which obviously wasn't great). Checked the G-Code on Cura and found there was something setting the Z axes to 15 so changed it to 0 and that seems to of fixed that issue but when using things like Repeater or anything else it does the same thing where it moves the Z height and then makes it not print properly.
Last thing (for now), when I tried printing the cube, I noticed it was printing it as more of a rectangle and seems the Y axes wasn't actually moving enough to make it the same length on every side. It might be that the step motor is set wrong but I haven't changed any of those settings so
TL;DR: I am new to 3D printing and it seems that everything is going wrong. Not sure if it is personal error or the bits I got are wrong.
