Re: Cooling fans died

I used an analog multimeter and the needle did the move, so the reading is 0.0

Cooling fans died

Need help. After a really good print, I went to slice another and run but both board and extruder fan are not working. Just to check and see if it was the fan I hooked one up to a 9V battery and it spun fine. Is there a config setting I can try, or is the board dead? I already tried resetting the bo...

Re: Need help

For the benefit of others that "may" make the same stupid mistake, I found the error with the temps. The thermistor and power were reversed, Extruder1 to thermistor 2. Correcting that fixed the problem and there is no more issue. Printer is running and giving good results. I've had a couple 3-4 hour...

Re: Need help

Thank you so much for your input MidiMan. I figured one problem. After it errors I need to M999 command, manually move the axis if they are on the ends tops(Z especially) the Home each axis individually.

Re: Need help

PRINTER WILL NOW ONLY MOVE TOWARD ENDSTOP. When I try to move it in the other direction, it says "Endstop Hit ..." Here are some pictures Multimeter readings are at 1.2 volts on the drivers. Plugs have been checked on all ends tops to make sure none are loose, and the contacts are secure on the board.

Re: Need help

Ok. So last night after switching the end stop plugs, the axis would move in all directions.

Today, with the exact same setup, the axis will only move in the direction OF the end stops.

Nothing has changed.

Re: Need help

Thank you for your reply. I discovered that after my post. The point of frustration is that the directions clearly state they should be in the Max. Oh well. Thank you Now if only I was able to get the Z axis threaded rods replaced since mine have a slight bend and cause the X carriage to wobble, and...

Need help

I recently purchased the Prusa i3 Dual extruder. I'm have the same issues as others with either the axis only moving in one direction away from endstop, or not moving at all. I've played with the wiring to make sure it's correct, but here are some photos, including the M119 command. Please excuse th...
