Thank you for the detailed response MCcarman. I crossed my fingers and connected printer to my desktop computer instead of laptop and all works fine. I have now used 1 spool of filament and having a little fun "building" different items. Thank you and stay safe!by Magnumu - Prusa i3 and variants
removed all stepper drivers, still crashes cpu as soon as connected. Thank you for the suggestion though.by Magnumu - Prusa i3 and variants
First please pardon the ignorance. I am completely new to this "hobby" and am only somewhat computer literate. I will ask questions and provide answers that may may most shake their heads. I believe the "controller" I am using is Arduino. The printer kit I have put together is this one: REPRAPGURU DIY RepRap Prusa I3 V2 No mods made as of yet. When first assembled I could move x,y,z wiby Magnumu - Prusa i3 and variants
Apparently have bigger problems. Display works but when selection made (such as move axis) nothing happens. Also when connecting usb into laptop, laptop will shutoff if printer is plugged in. I have checked all wiring and connections. Could this be a bad board? If so what should I replace it with. Thank youby Magnumu - Prusa i3 and variants
I am just finishing up my first build and cannot find anything that tells me where to plug in the fan for the extruder. Can anyone please provide guidance? Thank youby Magnumu - Prusa i3 and variants
