Hello,
While trying to resolve the build issue. I found out the fan to the hotend was at wrong voltage.the fan was for 12V but the supply voltage is 24V. Now my hotend and fan are destroyed. I'm trying to order the correct hotend and the fan, can some one post a link to the correct parts I needed.

Re: build problem for I3 M201
thanks for the reply. I read the manual and know how to correct the direction issue. However, I just need to know how to prevent the printer from changing the motor direction.
