I don't wanna do a complete reset cause honestly it took me awhile to figure it out. I've yet to print a single item and i'm dieing to. if i get rid of the server (got to figure out how) maybe it will reset to how it was?

Also once its up and running and i want to clean up the Config.h file can i delete lines for all other LCD screen options, etc that have nothing to do with my machine? i was planning on trying it but making a copy of the config.h file just in case


Please Help

You can reinstall the firmware first: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=17046
To see that if it can fix the LCD problem.

If the printer can gets work with repetier host, maybe the extruder problem not related to slicer software, it might be physical problem.

ok i got rid of the server it changed my motherboard in marlin, thats fixed now, now got to get rid of the 2 block lines and my X axis motor is moving by itself when i turn the machine on. When i manually move it in repetier-host it goes 10mm to the right push it again and it goes left... this machine hates me :cry:
