Geeetech M201 issues

Post by assiah » Thu Jun 23, 2022 11:01 pm

I have an M201 with Geeetech's GTM32 Pro board (Previously the non pro model but it went south so I upgraded to the newer Pro version). Unfortunately, this one lasted about a week before it started giving me double black bars on the LCD and i can't connect to it to re-flash the firmware.

I'm looking at potential open-source replacements for it (I may give geeetech's one more chance, still haven't contacted them again to see what I can work out since the new board went bad but their support hasn't been too inspiring so far). The two potential replacements I'm looking at are the RAMBo 1.3 and the Archim 1.0.

I haven't really followed the controller boards (just been playing with kits). Could anyone give any advice on which one to go with? I don't really care about the blending feature Geeetech advertises, I just want it to be reliable for dual extruders and its larger print volume.

Thanks for your time and advice.
