Geeetech

So with the geeetech superplate, you have two options. Option 1 fix it permanentaly to the hot bed by removing the paper backing and exposing the glue and placing it on the bed. Option two you can use small metal binder clips to fix the bed temporarily, I went with the binder clips because its easie...

Yeah you would send the g code through easyprint, repetier or similar 3d slicing software. Now basically what your looking for when you send the gcode m119 is to see if when the head is in the center and middle of the z axis x axis and y axis away from the end stops. That none of the end stops are r...

try sending G-code M119 and check the status of your switches. you might need to reverse them in configuration.h this is how the code should look it will be in your configuration.h file // Mechanical endstop with COM to ground and NC to Signal uses "false" here (most common setup). #define X_MIN_END...

Glad you got it working, honestly the Chinese gt2560's cause so many issues, I agree its almost just better to swap to the mega and be done with it. Arduino definitely has there boards down pat, and you will have fewer glitches and anomaly's.

Alright thats great to hear! Glad I could help let me know how shes printing when you get it all dialed in!

Today we are making music. Not just any kind of music… no we are making the kind of music to inspire to prototype to… to print stupid vases to! (you know if your into that sort of stuff) Well anyways it's time to get your 8 bit music machine up and going, because we all know that's why you bought a ...

Try plugging it directly to your pc. I know it sounds silly, but arduino is super picky about how its uploads firmware, so something as simple as a usb hub can actually throw it off when uploading the firmware as well as a generic USB cable, I always connect it directly to my pc's motherboard usb's ...

Alright thanks for the info, something else to check, It most likely isn't a bricked board, since your computer does detect it as well as Arduino. Close down any other programs that could be using that serial for that printer, such as cura, Pronterface, Easyprinter anything that uses that printer to...

This is what I suggest to upgrade to, but do your research and decide what you want. But for 50 bucks you just cant go wrong with a Mean Well power supply. It gives you 350 watts so you definitely will have more than enough power, I think they maybe use at most 160 watts when they are printing so r...

They are all over ebay, its nice to have a few laying around just in case. Heres a link to some - Endstops
