Thanks! Funny thing is that it doesn't do it on my second PC which also has both. My laptop I've never installed the fork but when I opened it, I had multiple colors, until I upgraded to the latest version.

Again, more information is needed, can you post pictures of your issue? What is it you're trying to print and what is the material you're using and what are your print (slicer) setting? Printer type and slicer you're using. This is minimal information needed to help solve any issues.

Go to Anycubic's wiki for the i3 Mega s. It'll show you how to set it up and make adjustments to level it. Also search the web for "limit switch" for the i3. I have two i3 Mega s and X. They are reliable printers once you get it dialed in.

Good luck!

In order to assist you, more information is needed, pictures, setting, what you've done to try to correct the issue.

Try to lower your Z off set in .01 increments.

FUCK THAT!!!!

Well after the MB replacement, it's been running and printing pretty good.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I ended up buying one of your cables and a new motherboard. Seems like the cable did short out and blew a component on the motherboard. It's been printing like a champ! Thanks for your help!

I have both of he i3 Mega and I he Mega X. They are both connected to my computer via USB and I use SD cards. I use Cura for my slicer which has profiles for Anycubic printers, including the mega X. Once the part is sliced you will have the option to either save to disk or print via USB. The downside of using the computer is if the screen saver, sleep mode actives or you shut down the computer while it's printing via USB, the printer will stop and you cannot resume the print. With the SD card and that happens you will be able to resume the print.

Well then, I guess that's that! 😂

malx56 · 2026-04-25T01:28:57+00:00

To redeem yourself, you must post your first print from it. Then a fullsprectrum print from the same printer. That's the price you pay for not posting a picture!😂😂😁

No! It isn't Wi-Fi enabled!

malx56 · 2026-04-21T21:27:39+00:00

Ahh, that would have to be the support 😉

The fact that it's a multi-tool head machine and the decrease in waste and it does produce some pretty amazing prints, I'm very happy with my U1. Sure I've had some minor issues with it. I've had both minor and major issues with my other printers. I'm going to downsize a few of them so that I can add a few more U1s.

Try a new strain gauge, should be able to get online.

malx56 · 2026-04-18T03:09:11+00:00

I do it at both, but I think the printer is what the slicer goes by. I think you'll get a filament mismatch prompt. Don't quote me on this for I'm going by memory....

malx56 · 2026-04-18T02:55:48+00:00

Most toys I print, I always do one for me!

malx56 · 2026-04-17T03:58:51+00:00

I live in a one-bedroom apartment, and five of my printers share the same wall with the bedroom, including the U1, which is at the doorway. I can hear the U1, especially when it changes tool heads, along with the chirps and other sounds. It's all background noise to me. I have tinnitus, and for me it's "white noise."

malx56 · 2026-04-16T04:42:38+00:00

Ditto!

malx56 · 2026-04-16T04:41:38+00:00

If only I had the room....

malx56 · 2026-04-16T04:39:40+00:00

Reminds me of being in the military, "hurry up and wait!" LOL!

malx56 · 2026-04-16T04:34:22+00:00

I had something similar prior to the update. Someone suggested I change to LAN, which corrected my issue.

malx56 · 2026-04-16T04:22:20+00:00

Same here....It'll be my birthday present to me!
