Hello: Sorry to respond late. Here is the Marlin firmware for the HIC Prusa I3. I still had to do a bit of editing but several Youtube videos explain how that is done.by jerryb - Prusa i3 and variants

Re: Prusa i3 z-axis slipping - 8 years ago
I would use a light oil that is used in air tools. This oil is common in most hardware stores. It is a liquid. Some of the spray on oils become gummy and I would avoid them. Have you tried the nuts individually to see if they moved up and down the rod freely? If they do not and have tight spots that can be fixed.by jerryb - General Mendel Topics

My printer might be the same as yours. I can't run mine because the brass flange nuts were not correct for the threaded Z rods. Waiting for them. You might check how well the flange nuts rotate freely and maybe some light oil.by jerryb - General Mendel Topics
Re: Prusa i3 z-axis slipping - 8 years ago
You need to make sure your X axis moves freely up and down and not in a bind. The Z axis guide rods should rotate freely with your fingers for the z axis travel range. If not spread or compress the assembly end pieces . If the assembly is not free to move but in a bind the steppers may not have enough torque to overcome the misalignment.by jerryb - General Mendel Topics

I have it working now. The supplier sent me the firmware and I found a defect in the power supply. All functions appear normal.by jerryb - Prusa i3 and variants

Hello everyone, First time poster.

Turning it on for the first time I noticed that my heat bead and hotend where not turning on. It didby jerryb - Prusa i3 and variants
