Issues on first print on solo mode
Posted: Sun May 03, 2020 5:30 am
Hello All,
I'm new on the community and on 3D printing and I really need some help with my A20M.
I can't seem to print using Cura. The gcode included on the SD works like a charm, anything else just does not work.
I'm using Cura 4.6.1
My A20M is on version 1.1.8 downloaded on Geeetech site
I'm trying to print the Articulated Lizard V2 (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3509154) My bed is leveled manually but should be OK since the Dog gcode printed perfectly. (I leveled the bed several times to be sure)
I used the profiles found on the thread https://www.geeetech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=62065 for A10M
I tried to slow down the speed to 40mm/s instead of 60.
Heated the bed more
Heated the PLA 200, 210, 215
Tried several profiles of PLA
Nothing seems to work...
Here is the result I get:
Heating the PLA to 215 has a better adhesion but not enough to keep printing.
Another issue I have is I am having a really hard time using both colors of the printer.
EDIT:
Sorry guys the problem is solved on thread: http://geeetech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=92&t=61760
My bad...
I set it manually on the printer and I can make it work but printing the Lizard in 2 color, I really don't know how to do it...
I tried selecting different PLA profiles to be sure both were going to be used.
I enabled the Dual Extrusion with the prime tower.
Thanks for your help
