Re: Geeetech A10 and Ender 3

The ender 3 is made of sturdier parts, such as the track the Y-axis moves on. The build surface is higher quality as well; better adhesion and less prone to damage. The bed of the enders are much less likely to be wonky from the factory. I have had zero problems with things like layer shift since tr...

Re: Print moves on bed 2/3s of the way completed

It sounds like you are getting poor adhesion between the bed and the first layer. Try this: - level the bed using the sheet of paper method, but make sure you level it only in the area where the dog will print. Some Geeetech beds are warped from the factory, so leveling from the corners only may not...

Re: A10 with 3DTouch not responding to Z-offset??

I think the main pointer is that the 3DTouch is hot garbage. I posted about my experience back in March: https://www.geeetech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=98&t=70251 And I've seen other threads since then and they all end the same way: with the user throwing the sensor in the trash or the parts bin.

Re: Layer shifting on the y axis.

Have you tried reducing your jerk via the control screen?

Cura also has a jerk control setting, though I fixed my y-axis shifts by changing the value y jerk via the machine's control knob and screen.

Re: A10 V4.0 & 3DTouch - Inconsistent readings

I don't have an idea but I can confirm your problem. I had the same issue with my A10 and 3DTouch. I spent hours laying on the floor with my eye at bed level, making fractional mm adjustments, but it would always do the same thing you report. I finally gave up and tossed the probe into my parts box....

Re: Geeetech A10 first time problems

Are you able to use the LCD to move the Z-axis? The option is either in Prepare or Control. If you are able to cause the Z-axis to move using the interface, then the problem is probably with your leveling method. My A10 bed was uneven out of the box, so that may also be an issue. To get my prints to...

Pin assignments for stepper 42SHD0034-20B

Hi all. Does anyone know what are the pins for the 42SHD0034-20B stepper? I've got an A10 that's dead and I'd like to try to resurrect it with an aftermarket board & LCD. The connectors are different than the board I have in mind, so I'd like to put new ends on them but I need to know the pinout. ED...

Re: I fried a v3.0 board & bought a replacement that isn't acting right

Well, Octoprint is a slicer in addition to a web interface for printer control. I swapped in the two unfried drivers to the X & Y-axes and it made no difference. When the machine is on, the X-axis is still frozen and the Y-axis is still loose. Neither one will respond to movement commands sent from ...
