Hello all,
I recently just purchased my first 3d printer. I bought a Prusa i3 newest model here is the link -> [www.ebay.com]
It is this model
“LCD Screen Aurora Partilhada Model DIY Reprap Prusa I3 High Accuracy 3D printer”
I put everything together by watching the movie and looking at the wire diagram, I followed the movie and the wire setup. Everything is hooked up correctly. When I power on my 3d printer it turns on but when I try to do a test print it says it doesn’t say its preheating and only gets up to 21 degrees the bed and extruder I believe. But it is always at these temps it doesn’t start at 0 and work its way up.
So I am having issues getting the printer to run now.
I installed the filament as it showed but I cannot print anything to test and make sure it works.
What should I do?
I would love to print anything like a test piece just so I know my printer is working! Then I can continue to learn 3d Modeling and make anything that I can think of.

Thank you,
~Bigbear~

Triple check your wires. 21 Celsius is your room temp. so something is working. You should connect to a PC so you can test better with Pronterface for example. Test switches with G commands on Pronterface etc.

It seems the problem of board. Does it connect to your PC? The PC should show your a new com(port) with usb wire.Then, if not, you should check the wires connection and the firmware is suitable with your board. Just try to connect the seller and ask for a circuit photo. Take some photoes to the seller.
