I've some trouble with my new A10 that i recived today, i've been trying to print for 9 hours without a single success, every time i try it's end up by fail.
I've updated firmware for 3d touch and i did bed levelling correctly (according to youtube video), im using quality 3d pla filement but no printed a thing yet!
Beside hardware issues that i've posted some photos i thought this printer was a good choice but now i'm not that sure!!!

Hello.
In the video you have prepared, you can see that the head is still too high.
That's why there is a problem with adhesion of the first layer of filament to the surface of the heat bed.

Thanks for reply,i've lowered the head as much as i can (A4 paper slides) but printing quality is the same, can't print a single thing.
Any suggestion?

Hi.
Have you calibrated the extruder?
What kind of plastic do you use?

Thanks kaktus, i've 3 different pla filement for the test i used the flement comes in geeetech package then i used others, for now i use this pla filement.
I have no idea how to calibrate the extruder and even don't know if it's calibrated.Im looking for solution on youtube and forums, so far i didn't go any further.

Thanks for the video, i've installed the pronterface and did the test, for 10cm asked i got only 2.5cm.
And also i've some problem like this, flement melt in extruder but didn't came out on 190°.Maybe i got the bad printer or some thing not right on extruder i don't know.

Which filament did you use for the test
The one from the Geeetech sample or the one you bought separately

This is normal when you don't solve a problem with the adhesion of the material to the heat bed.
