Hi all, Firmware sorted (I think). Tried first print and I find that the print head moves down towards the bed as it starts to print and tries to force the bed down. I have followed the instructions relative to setting the head gap and all is well after homing until it starts to print. Having watched the print until the head moves up to check that it's going in the right direction, which it is.by clockman10 - Reprappers
Many thanks for your useful information. Yes I find I do have the endstops in the wrong sockets. Thank you. I think I will have to contact them about the bed and I probably have a thermistor in my electronics assortment! I noticed that the Z axis endstop position was a bit out of line. Incidentally do you have a contact for " printchainstore" London office, Where I had my machine from, or do Iby clockman10 - Reprappers

Thank you for your rapid response. I will check out the fuse, is it the one marked "15 amp" ? The holder doesn't look burnt out and the fuse looks ok but I need to test it. I must say the holder looks a bit doubtful under the magnifier. I'll study the config. file and note the changes you mention. Thanks again for your help.by clockman10 - Reprappers
Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me ? I bought a 3D printer kit from "printchainstore" from their Ebay listing (can supply link if required) on 8th Feb.Came in about 3 days. Brilliant!!

Then the problems started. 1.Bed not heating. 2.None of the axis' will home. 3.Extruder motor not working. I thought iby clockman10 - Reprappers
