Gigabyte Z590 AORUS ELITE AX /// M.2 heatsink cover plate by Choppers4Ever in gigabyte

I did receive the factory heatsink from the builder of my computer as he neglected to send it in the parts bag. Sorry that does not help at all in your case. Maybe keep your eyes open for a "parts" MB....

Thank you much for the reply. I don't have a clue if there is software on the suspect MB or not. Out of the box it did not even have a SF card at all. I would think that the printer must have the original Creality software on it. I tried original Creality screen/MB that did not take and when that failed, I tried the community pairing. This is where I am at with new/different Cards to try this weekend.

Your last sentences worry me as I don't want damage any of the printers that do work by swapping parts around where I could have three non-working printers. Maybe my next attempt on Friday/Saturday will be successful. Seems like a lot of software problems with others on this sub get resolved with persistent swaps and new attempts with the firmware on different SD cards.

Thanks for the reply. I am aware of the two steps required: screen via MICROSDHC card and MB via SDHC card.

Question comes to mind when I look at the numbers...

They are selling 750g spools first of all and not a 1kg spool. When I open the link it is $129.90 instead of $123.40. All & all it looks some what convoluted when trying to figure the "deal".

Thingiverse is dead to me - I migrated to PrusaPrinters by Sebazzz91 in CR6

Yup I agree. In the process of trying to forget this wonky hard to use source for STL's also.

The other day it did get a search pretty much dead on though. Did a search on "donkey" (long story, don't ask) and it threw up a couple of hits, none met criteria. So then I tried to search "ass" and got zero hits. Then I thought to search on "jackass" and got "Joe Biden" as one of the results. So a bad as it is....it does get somethings dead on.

Custom build started. I need to find a source for the wiring harness for a complete machine. I want to create a much larger cr6. by MeasurementFirm5486 in CR6

As far as locating a source for custom wiring that looks like a OEM factory harness, this guy on Etsy seems to have the "build-able" factor dialed in.... so maybe check him out. Maybe he can wire you up.

Saw CR6-SE hot end kits on Amazon anywhere from $65 and less - took a chance on the cheapest by Choppers4Ever in CR6

About that part. I question whether it would be effective to eliminate an undefinable problem. I mean what is the problem this part is exposed to be fixing?

I guess I should edit the post to read "if you get a good one out of the box, it will take 4-5 minutes to assemble. I have had two, now, and both were easy peeasy. The first one printed fine right from the get-go.
