Hello there,
I built your “printer”, the instructions are amazing and its a really easy build process - good work there !
BUT it does not print
- I installed Repetier 0.56 on Mac and it worked for w ahile, while i was calibrating the printer …
- All of a sudden it brought up 5 comands waiting
- ok I used a powered USB Hub
- I cheked the speed is 250000
- I checked ALL Parameters 5000 times
- I took another Mac -> same result
- I took Ubuntu -> same result
- i tried to flash the board -> Arduino can not flash board - timeout
- I made sure its version 1.06
- I tried cura -> no
- I tried cura on Ubuntu -> no
- I bought a new board (well who is gonna refund that ?) -> trieb all the above again -> No
- I checked the power supply does right Voltage and such -> All fine and Dandy but still -> NOP
So after reading EVERYTHING about 5 commands waiting, flashing the bios and anything else and putting in 100 hours plus I would love to 3d print something if your printer really does support this function…
I am completely pissed, 3 different machines 2 different OSses 2 different boards, what else can I do ?
I am a technical engineer and computer scientist for 25 years now but at the moment I could crash this thing against the wall !!!
Any help welcome, but please do not ask if I foloowed the manual or such, I did 100 hours research now, so I might jump your throat immidiately
Inbwetween I will try on a fourth machin with win 8.1 (I hate that, but maybe it helps)
Kind regards and sorry for any bad language, all I wanted is to print 3D…
Jens
