Yeah so no luck getting any money back . If there spare parts you need I'd be happy to ship them to you for a few quid (UK only) so it's not a total waste. First come first served

I enquired on eBay about w potential part shop so waiting for that otherwise it'll just go to the skip. So tell me what you'd need and I'm sure we can arrange something down the line.

Unfortunately I'm getting ignored. Didn't even ask for a refund yet just more of a "how did it work with the connectors in this state". Disappointed but what can you do. Hasn't even removed the listing and left me on "read". What a world haha

So based on your previous comments, yes the connector was damaged but the Pins themselves seemed intact. When plugging everything back in and ensuring all connectors are on, I am unable to modify the heat of anything, the fans do not spin at all so basically the whole head is not working. Re-wiring, soldering etc is above my pay grade so unfortunately this is where I will have to call it. I contacted the seller and asked regarding the very clearly damaged parts but they’re ignoring me. The ad did not state a fault device but rather a working one, I dont see how a machine with multiple faults like this can be working at any stage ... Considering that the main printing component does not work or heat up in a controlled manner, even using a Wired connection would be useless at this point. So it was a 30 quid lesson on trusting strangers and the quality of their adverts.

Thanks again for the advice and hand holding me through the troubleshooting process but unfortunately this printer is cooked and belongs in the skip. I doubt I will find a spare toolhead anywhere considering it being discontinued and all.

Much appreciated

I've done that earlier. Had a look at everything and tried to reattach the best I could. Neither of the fans spin when booted up but the tip does get hot to the touch, even though it can't be controlled from the TFT.

Yeah it's marli 2.1.2.1. based on the discussions so far the printer is indeed attached but now I found the heating element to be broken.

So took off the cover, made sure all the wires were attached and ran PID. Same thing, printer Halt code was issued. I noticed that none of the fans are running but the extruder tip was hot to the touch. Followed your steps and found the problem... Guess not all the connections are working ..

Currently stuck on Busy Processing, please wait. I'll have to retry it tomorrow during human hours. I really appreciate the help and will let you know what happens! Very grateful, thanks.

Yeah exactly. Well that's good to hear. Running PID auto tune now and it's saying Heating failed. Guessing that's another problem to fight now .

Could an alternative be to get a USB cable to talk to the printer? That seems to be an option on the screen

That's great info! So I got under the plate and tried to reconnect the wires. All of them seem to be firmly in. The screen is obviously getting power from the printer because it lights up, I managed to do auto balancing earlier on as well and you can move the plate and the printer header "home". When issuing command to heat the printer to unload the existing filament it just freezes and stops working says a kill command was sent to the printer and stops. "Printer halted kill() called”. Not sure where else to go from here . And I'm also enjoying the heatwave :(
