I just got this printer no more than 3 days ago. Had no problem putting it together. The problem I am having is the auto leveling. I am completely new to 3d Printing.
Yes I understand that I can put a different firmware on my board, however I am at a loss as to why someone (or company) would ship out a product that does not work out of the box. This seems like a bad business practice.
So I go through the steps using the machine only, to auto level. First I Measure the Z Pos, then I Auto Level. Once I get a number, I set my Z Offset to that number.
I am using the latest version of Cura to slice the test object. And I have tried printing from and SD Card and via USB.
And I wind up with 2 results, randomly back and forth. Either the print head is 2 or 3 inches higher than the print bed, or it crashes into the print bed (see the attached image for the latter).
Now I know this cannot be hard to resolve.
If there is a method to resolve the issue, great I'm all for it. If it requires me to install a third party firmware, cool I'll do it.
But I would love for some clear instructions on how to install the firmware and how to calibrate this printer so that the money spent is not wasted.
