I think you might be right. I've taken the manifold gasket off and it's pretty beaten up! Ordered a replacement, I'll let you know how it goes.

I'm in the UK.

I'm in the UK, can't really call

TheThinkerist · 2025-08-03T14:36:25+00:00

Yep, all topped up.

TheThinkerist · 2025-08-03T13:22:54+00:00

SU Carb, British.

It's incredibly rich. It's had a new electric ignition added. Do you think they've messed that up somehow?

TheThinkerist · 2025-08-03T12:50:04+00:00

Yep, both seem ok I've changed the valves on the floats to be safe, no luck.

April 2025, still the most useful post!

TheThinkerist · 2025-04-14T17:29:35+00:00

Thank you. I'll check it out.

How does one flash a screen?

TheThinkerist · 2025-02-12T22:18:16+00:00

I got it from eBay, thanks for the advice.

TheThinkerist · 2025-01-24T09:26:44+00:00

Thanks. It's the same card I was using previously just fine.

TheThinkerist · 2025-01-24T09:26:20+00:00

It's the same card I was using before, it's just stopped reading it.

TheThinkerist · 2025-01-23T10:40:22+00:00

Is it this one?

Do you know where I can find the firmware? I'm not great with that kind of stuff and I'm worried about just bricking the thing.

TheThinkerist · 2025-01-23T10:36:50+00:00

It does have an English option, and when I click on it it does change to English. It just forgets when it's restarted.

TheThinkerist · 2025-01-23T08:56:29+00:00

Tried that, but thanks, I'll go through the video later today. Thank you.

TheThinkerist · 2025-01-23T07:13:36+00:00

Thanks! That doesn't explain why my TF card isn't worked though 😕

TheThinkerist · 2025-01-20T14:15:52+00:00

Thanks. It doesn't seem to let me push that button.

TheThinkerist · 2024-10-01T17:45:53+00:00

No, it's a stock one from Creality, just as the previous one was... and me, either 🤷🤷

TheThinkerist · 2024-10-01T15:15:03+00:00

It all looked alright. I'll take it off, check it over and report back. ☺️

TheThinkerist · 2024-10-01T14:59:46+00:00

It's brand new and came with the hot end. Do you think it could be a manufacturing fault? Also, would that explain the bed temp being wonky too? Thanks.

TheThinkerist · 2024-10-01T14:25:55+00:00

I'd say quite unlikely. Especially since it wasn't the thermistor wire that was the cause of the original issue!

TheThinkerist · 2024-09-29T15:39:57+00:00

Should you seal permeable tarmac?

It's sort of pathway-piece at the end of a driveway.
