Hello, so I've done putting together my printer and before i had an extruder attached, I.ve printed with only a pen attached and everything worked fine. Now that i Have attached an extruder however, it wont respond. What I have done since the last time that i moved it, I've added another a4988 driver for the extruder, attached all the wires that come with the extruder, and edited the lines in config file: #define TEMP_SENSOR_0 0 to #define TEMP_SENSOR_0 1 #define TEMP_SENSOR_BED 0 to #define TEMP_SENSOR_BED 1 #define HEATER_0_MINTEMP 5 to #define HEATER_0_MINTEMP 0 #define BED_MINTEMP 5 to #define BED_MINTEMP 0 and now that i connect to a printer via repetier host. and regardless what i do nothing happens, neither home button nor any of the heaters or fan works, all it does is stack up commands in queue in 'manual control' tab has anyone had this problem? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,739333,739333#msg-739333 Wed, 09 Sep 2026 00:31:34 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,739333,739907#msg-739907 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,739333,739907#msg-739907
And the reason the printer did not move was because it wasn't plugged to a wall :DDDD

however the problem was in the thermistor regardless.

So I sort of fixed it, but when i tried turning it on, it heated to the correct temperature, but the stepper could not push the plastic at all, i tried forcing it down by hand and it worked, so i figured ill turn the potentiometer on a4988, but before i could do that the temperature stared dropping, regardless of what i do.

I think I'mm gonna try buying a new thermistor for the extruder first and see if that will do anything, but until then thank you for your help]]> Karzin Reprappers Wed, 18 Jan 2017 06:25:39 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,739333,739792#msg-739792 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,739333,739792#msg-739792
If the printer still works (and I suspect it will) then you have a short in the wiring that is causing the power to dip.

Plug each item back in one and a time and test the printer function till you find which one is causing the short.]]> scottybfg Reprappers Tue, 17 Jan 2017 16:46:05 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,739333,739538#msg-739538 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,739333,739538#msg-739538 I reconnected and i get this:

has anyone had this problem?]]> Karzin Reprappers Mon, 16 Jan 2017 10:51:28 -0500
