QuoteRoger123D Well if nozzle is clogged the extruder should have been clicking like mad and after 30 minutes wore a hole in the filament. If nozzle was to high it should have a glob of filament melted around it and a pile of squiggly filament somewhere. Heat it up to 200 again and push the filament in and it should come out the nozzle then pull it and it should come out with a melted string of fby mookiex4 - Prusa i3 and variants
QuoteRoger123D When you are connected to the computer forget about the LCD display leave it at printer ready don't set any temps there All the print,printer and filament settings are done through the slicing program before compiling. In my case Slic3r (not Repetier) are used to set filament diameter and temperature settings and a mess of other settings you eventually learn to change as needed.

QuoteGuchion Normally speaking the setting set by the software for temperatures override the firmware, this is certainly the case with Cura and printrun and Marlin firmware, i doubt it is different for repetier if that is actually what is on the board. When it stops heating, does the printer still respond or does it hard lock the printer? Do you have a fan blowing on the print head? Like the wikby mookiex4 - Prusa i3 and variants

WOW. The instructions provided by both Roger123D and Guchion worked. Adding the Repetier Host to my computer and going on the site in the REP RAP forum link provided in this topic did the trick. The site listed in the forum provided by Guchion is the exact site that came as a link on the SD card with the printer.

It does not recognize the printer but it shows something connected which is the serial cable. I ran a troubleshoot on the connection and it did say that the cable may not be compatible with 3.0 USB but I have tried it in all three of the USB ports with no change in result. The computer suggested plugging it into a 2.0 USB port. Now I assume that there is at least on of those. In fact I also assumby mookiex4 - Prusa i3 and variants
QuoteRoger123D what you should have is Repetier Host V0.95F or later it can be downloaded where you found Server and is a different program. I am using Windows 10. You got an SD card and it should have all the files you need or the PDF should have links to those files. Don't erase the SD you have just get a new one everything may be on it.

Good Day all, I will do the best I can to describe my issue as I am a new 3D printer user and just diving in. I have printed nothing yet and am just trying to figure things out. I bought a RepRap Prusa i3 and assembled it. It came with an SD card with the PDF assembly instructions and various other PDF docs. Additionally it had the site for the Reptier download and a driver the computer which Iby mookiex4 - Prusa i3 and variants
Hello All, I had read on a forum or on the Wiki RepRap site sometime ago that there was a group of people that printed the parts needed to build a RepRap and the only thing to agree to is that you will pay it forward once you have built your RepRap. Can someone guide to a person that is doing just that? I am having trouble getting in touch with someone supplying the printed parts that are not oby mookiex4 - Wanted
