migbot prusa set up problems
April 28, 2015 02:47PM
hello. i am new to 3d printing and to arduino and thought a diy kit would be my best bet to learn on. well i have the printer almost fully set up besides z axis top braces because i am having problems getting the stepper motors to move evenly and not bind up (beleive i just need to align side heights and top to bottom widths better). but my main problem is when i attempt to connect to my laptop it fails every time. i have now been able to get my usb serial converter to show up along with a com port 3 in my device manager after much troubleshooting and online forum reading. but under com port 3 it does not show my actual printer just com port 3. if i go to port 3 options my baud rate is defaulting at 9600 also and does not show a 250000 option, im thinking that is way to low from what ive been reading but am at a total loss of how to get any further.

i am running windows vista and stock software is cura and ive downloaded repetier host my arduino board is a mks base v1.2

any help would be amazing.
thank you

1. You never see the printer name for com connection. Always COMx
2. The baud rate in hardware manager is not relevant, you set it in printer settings in the host and there you have 250000 and 115200 whcih are the 2 most commenly used ones.
