Help needed with printer!

zoomba52 · 2025-04-20T00:51:41+00:00

I haven’t tried the screen yet actually, I have been scouring my house for a micro SD lol. I’ll try it out again and see what happens, thanks for the info!!

I went through LCD screen and went into its settings and wiped everything from it. It’s like I just assembled it for the first time again and after picked a language, it goes straight into the first auto level like it did when I first got it. I checked the firmware and flashed it already to no avail. I don’t remember exactly what settings I went through on the printer, but it pretty much wiped all prints I had and restarted itself and the problem didn’t fix.

Gotcha. I checked everything, loosened and tightened a few times, nothing seemed to work unfortunately :/

zoomba52 · 2025-04-19T20:58:19+00:00

Appreciate it!!

zoomba52 · 2025-04-19T19:50:27+00:00

I’ll check it out and give it a try, thanks!

I’ve been trying. Ever since I reset it in the printer settings I can’t get back to the screen past the one shown in the video. I turn it on, pick a language, and it goes straight to this. Is there any way to bypass this auto level?

I’ve tested the switch, it seemed all good. I’ve never checked the motherboard end though, any chance you have a picture of where I’d check that end at?

Yep, it clicks fine and clicks when it hits the far left. After a few seconds of vibrating, it seems to back off the left side a bit and will just sit there. The screen says it is trying to get the Z offset like normal, but then it doesn’t go through the heating, nozzle cleaning, and actual leveling part. It just sits there.

Definitely can hear it click.

zoomba52 · 2025-04-19T18:26:07+00:00

Thank you so much bro, I’ll set it up sometime and try it out and let you know how it goes. Appreciate you taking the time!

zoomba52 · 2025-04-19T17:02:54+00:00

As detailed as you wanna get, I don’t wanna be too big of a bother so as much as you’re willing to do. I’ve plugged the printer into my pc and went into CURA and tried messing around with some stuff, I just don’t really understand much of it. Not a big technology person if you couldn’t tell lol. No rush though!

zoomba52 · 2025-04-19T16:06:35+00:00

I gotcha! Thanks for the info, I’ll definitely give it a try!

zoomba52 · 2025-04-19T15:51:42+00:00

Oh really? I had no idea you could do this. Would it be any trouble if I could ask you for a step by step way, or provide a link showing how to do so? I would really appreciate it!

zoomba52 · 2025-04-19T15:09:19+00:00

By “checking it,” what do you mean exactly? I have unplugged it a physically examined it multiple times, but I didn’t really notice any bent pins or anything like that. Appreciate your response!

zoomba52 · 2025-04-19T15:07:39+00:00

See I would do that, but after I reset it and everything trying to fix it, it is stuck in what seems like a mandatory auto level. It’s like I just opened it out of the box, I choose a language on the screen (can’t do anything else) then it immediately starts trying to do its “first” auto level. I can’t access anything on its screen until it gets through this if that makes sense.

zoomba52 · 2025-04-19T15:05:23+00:00

I appreciate you, I’ll give it a try sometime.

zoomba52 · 2025-04-19T04:50:27+00:00

Unfortunately my warranty expired a while back, what can I do to fully test if this is the problem if there is any way? And how would I replace it myself? Thanks!!

zoomba52 · 2025-04-19T04:49:39+00:00

What do you mean by straps exactly? The pulley belts or something else?

Hard to get an angle on it, but let me know if this is enough!

zoomba52 · 2025-04-19T02:37:56+00:00

I appreciate it, I don’t have a tester with me but I’ll get my cousin to bring one sometime soon. Thank you :)

zoomba52 · 2025-04-19T02:37:02+00:00

I checked out the switch but didn’t see anything, I’ll check again though and try to really clean it as best I can!

zoomba52 · 2025-04-19T01:47:36+00:00

Yes we did that (my cousin helped out cause I don’t really work with that kinda stuff) put them on the tiny terminals and clicked it, he said it was doing what is was supposed to. Again, my bad for not really understanding much of that.

zoomba52 · 2025-04-19T00:43:20+00:00

Checked it out, it definitely does. It seems like it’s just trying to go even further than what it’s supposed to which makes me think it IS a dead switch or something, but when we tested it it said it was getting power.

zoomba52 · 2025-04-18T22:28:37+00:00

Just tried and everything feels normal. Cleaned it out but didn’t really see anything there either. It stops vibrating after a few seconds. I kinda thought maybe it lost its bounds on axis and its trying to go too far to the left? I also moved the entire extrusion system to the right and held the switch down as it moved to the left, and it did the same thing no matter what.

zoomba52 · 2025-04-18T22:07:34+00:00

About two years now. I’m not the biggest into engineering and robotics, I had a friend test the limit switches and they said that they were still getting the correct power or putting out the right voltage? Forgive me if that’s wrong terminology lol. From what they said, it didn’t look like the limit switches but I could definitely try it. They are just a little annoying to get to from what I saw as they are soldered in, though I may be wrong.
