Printer won't print without manual intervention

I have the strangest problem. My A10M won't actually print anything, sort of. When I start a print, either from an SD card or OctoPi, the printer does an auto home, then a auto bed level (BLTouch), and waits for the bed and nozzle to heat as expected, BUT even after the selected temps are reached, i...

Maybe Marlin SW issues with GEEETech A10M

I have a GeeeTech A10M that's been slightly modified. What I did was replace the springs and adjustments for the bed with fixed height spacers, which alleviates the need to continually adjust the bed height/clearance. I also reaslize that even with a fixed bed location, the bed still needs be 'calib...

Re: A10M upgrade to 2 extruder 2 nozzle setup

I've been test printing just single color with the E0 extruder for a few days, and am amazed how much better the results are compared to the base OEM hot end. Everything just runs so smoothly with no issues, and I've been printing both small and large jobs all weekend with absolutely no problems. I ...

Re: A10M upgrade to 2 extruder 2 nozzle setup

Thanks for the picture......I never thought that the mount was supposed to be attached to the cage, but it makes sense. BTW, I'm not very good with spatial relationships, as I can't do a Rubik's Cube without a book to guide me. I'll get some 3mm screws to mount the hot end, but I won't be able to ac...

Re: A10M upgrade to 2 extruder 2 nozzle setup

Well, I've got the mount printed and can see how I can mount the new hot end to it with appropriate lenght 3mm screws from the back of the plate into the back of the hot end, but I don't see how the plate mounts to the carriage. None of the hols actually line up. I thought that the cage screw hole c...

Re: A10M upgrade to 2 extruder 2 nozzle setup

Thanks......I'm familiar with the Arduino IDE, and am an active programmer in that environment. So my question was primarily related to making sure that I chose the correct file to 'compile' for download, and the appropriate options in the IDE for the A10M motherboard. Your response was very helpful...

Re: A10M upgrade to 2 extruder 2 nozzle setup

Thanks for the mount posting, but I have a question or two. I'm using a BL touch sensor which mounts on the OEM cage over the original print head......will the cover fit over the new hot end, or if it won't, any idea how to mount the touch sensor? Will the air deflector from the original mount funct...
