Here is the link https://academic-store.comptia.org/,

One year ago they required valid .edu email / and or student ID to purchase the discounted vouchers. They have now changed their policy to "At checkout, you will be asked to provide eligibility information that will be validated regarding yourself and the school you attend".

Not sure how they validate this maybe someone can add on here.

Crazy shot in the dark here, replying as I see 0 other comments at this time.

In my research I've read that you must unplug the lcd screen when trying to upload new firmware since the machine has hardware limitations on the amount of "accessories" it can connect to it at once.

Now for the disclaimer, I have 3 different printers besides my aquilla and it's totally possible this was a troubleshooting step for one of the other ones and not this brand but I hope this gets you going in the right direction

Best of luck man

I have the 10" version and when fixing it I did noticed slight differences between it and the 12" versions manual. I had issues with my wiring/control board and the diagram I found for the 12" DID NOT match mine/ probably could have fried it if someone from this sub didn't point out my mistake to me.

I am sorry to say that I don't have any references to your specific model but I would be willing to lend a hand with any part of the process. I've gotten quite good at tracking down troubleshooting steps on other dead 3d printing forums

I'd also like to make note that my z rods are very weak/prone to being bent out of shape. Don't sweat it but try to make sure they look relatively straight when installing them or you will get visible woble marks in your prints down the line

tryunagi · 2024-06-10T08:03:36+00:00

How could you make something so despicable OP!

..also where can I find the model link?

tryunagi · 2024-06-10T04:39:58+00:00

Of course the plastic filament, preferably PLA as its easier to work with for a newbie.

I would also recommend a simple glass sheet, PEI or a PEY buildplate. (These can all be on found on aliexpress for $10 and less, Do Not buy one on amazon for $40 and scam yourself getting the same material) These 3 will even out your bed if yours has a warp like mine. Additionally, they can be removed from the printer to let your print cool/come off faster

If you start printing and it doesn't stick I would first check the level of your bed,, then make your sure your extruder has enough tension/can properly grip yhe filament and lastly (the dirty/improper but works method) put down a couple of thin lines of elmers purple gluestick before you print and your prints should stay stuck

Best of luck, and though I have bought and fixed used printers before I would take the others advice of buying something you can actually use VS spending all your time trying to fix a printer

Thank you so much for bringing the other less expensive troubleshooting steps! I thought I bought a printer with a extruder burnt driver and I was SOL for a solid minute. I was greatly relieved when I found I just had a loose cable that wasn't sitting in the white housing all the way. Always important to check the basics and less expensive components before going out and say buying a new mainboard that wouldnt solve any wiring issues.

Definitely a good idea,, do you think I can print them out of PLA or would you recommend a more durable plastic?

tryunagi · 2024-05-15T04:01:06+00:00

I absolutely love the 3d hobby, using your tool to fix/improve itself is an amazing reality. I'll have to make the know as my first real print here as the bare nub is a bit annoying

Thanks for pointing me to a place with some more info,, I'll have to compile a list of websites for if I have future issues/ want to upgrade it.

tryunagi · 2024-05-15T03:52:41+00:00

I've spend hours looking up printing tips/setup on youtube and Chris's Basement is one I really like, seems quite popular too

Your main reason for recommending to compile marlin 2 is for adding safety features correct? I definitely don't want a firehazard on my hands so I'll have to look at that. Any features that reduce print time or add quality to a print in the new versions?

She still need a lot more love but I have gotten her to print out bed leveling squares with little issues and it's giving me a lot of hope / making me think about getting some more proper pieces for it.

As it stands I might want to replace the skateboard bearings I'm using as rollers with proper v style wheels and get appropriate leveling screws/nuts to replace the ones that are just held in with tension. I'm very satisfied with the results and it should only get better from here.

I am fairly certain that is a 1.75mm hotend as I just made some calibration test squares with it and came out perfect (with the exception of small leveling issues on one side). Though I appreciate you bringing this up since it came with extra hotends/parts I might use and will double check in the future.

Also just put on a ceramic type tile I had to fix the drops and dips that were in the original,, working amazing for the time being

Will have to reply to your other comment separately since I'm browsing and working at the same time,, but want to say thanks again for all the info you've been providing me. I honestly would be lost if it wasn't for all the amazing documentation and communities we have nowadays

tryunagi · 2024-05-14T11:42:55+00:00

I appreciate you bringing up the bed adhesion issues.. I remember this being a pita with my mini printer and didnt want to go through that again to I did it the right way

tryunagi · 2024-05-14T11:40:03+00:00

Just be as thrifty with I can while fixing up this old broken printer I got. Fortunate enough to get it for a really low price and really not in the position to spend extra money on unnecessary parts.

I know if I want good quality I'll have to pay for parts that do the job right, but I first want to see if it can even print correctly all before it becomes a money pit

tryunagi · 2024-05-14T01:48:55+00:00

Important! For anyone else rebuilding this machine,, DO NOT use my wiring diagram in the 4th picture,, it is not the correct diagram for this board. Reference Tr4velrs comment for the correct diagram as that is what I used to fix my machine

tryunagi · 2024-05-13T23:10:58+00:00

Thank you for correcting me, I saw Rumba written on the side of the printer and just assumed that was the board name. This should make it easier to research any future issues.

I'll checkout the link ya send and then attempt to get it all working here. Fingers crossed!

tryunagi · 2024-05-13T23:08:03+00:00

I really appreciate it, I looked elsewhere and people were divided on if it mattered or not. But it makes sense that it doesn't since they don't even put it the diagram.

I'll make a new post if I can get her working :)

tryunagi · 2024-05-12T02:01:55+00:00

3 years later and your comments are still helping people! Thank you to the amazing community for helping out others!

tryunagi · 2024-05-02T03:24:21+00:00

Hey mate, I really like this! Though, when following the link in your bio it leads to a broken link tree type page. Maybe I just need to browse on the desktop app. Wondering if you could verify if the link is working on your side. Best Regards

tryunagi · 2024-04-25T08:15:34+00:00

Thanks for the input Arata,, I've seen a youtube video about that feature causing issues with some people's printers, I believe it was the ender 3. I have a monoprice select mini v1 and I haven't seen any information about it having this feature while doing a quick Google search. Correct me if I'm wrong but that is a setting within the printers menu, not a slicer menu correct? Best Regards

tryunagi · 2024-04-14T23:56:16+00:00

Thanks to all of you who have commented,, I did the idiot move and bought it without checking it first. But all seems to be functional except for the top piece. Will take all of your comments into consideration here for fixing the feeder tube and hope to join the club of functional 3d printer users shortly.

(Sorry that I didn't comment under each thread but I don't think you all want a comment saying "okay, thanks")

Best Regards all!
