HI, Due to my bad english I will try my best and put it in both languages:

I have had many problems since the first day and I have been unable to start using the printer.
I bought a BLtouch together with the printer and installed it before the first test, I had read that I had to update the software to enable it and I did it following a guide of this forum.
After many problems that now seem solved and now that I think I have leveled the hot bed (I hope), I have this problem:

I load a file on the sd card or try to use one of the two that came inside. The first time heats the bed, then heats the extruder and when it should start printing just when it reaches the correct temperature it stops. The word stopped appears on the screen and starts to cool down.
Repeat the operation and select the same file to print, again start heating the hot bed, then the extruder and when it reaches the temperature to start printing starts to see a % load on the screen that starts with sd 1% up reach 100%, it is very slow and takes 2 or 3 minutes and you can see like a progress bar made with |||||..., when finished the printer is ready to print but does nothing and starts to cool down again but this time does not appear the word stopped or anything, just does not do anything.
As long as the printer is not turned off, the second case is repeated continuously on each try to print, if I turn it off and start again, the first event occurs and everything repeats itself.




He tenido muchos problemas desde el primer dia y he sido incapaz de empezar a usar la impresora.
Compre un BLtouch junto con la impresora y lo instale antes de la primera prueba, habia leido que debia actualizar el software para habilitarlo y lo hice siguiendo una guia de este foro.
Despues de muchos problemas que ahora parecen solucionados y ahora que creo haber nivelado bien por fin la cama caliente me encuentro con este problema:

Cargo un archivo en la sd o intento usar uno de los dos que venian dentro. La primera vez calienta la cama, luego calienta el extrusor y cuando deberia empezar a imprimir justo al llegar a la temperatura correcta se detiene. Aparece la palabra detenida en la pantalla y comienza a enfriarse.
Repito la operacion y selecciono el mismo archivo para imprimir, de nuevo empieza a calentar la cama caliente , luego el extrusor y cuando llega a la temperatura de comenzar a imprimir empieza a verse un % de carga en la pantalla que empieza con sd 1% hasta llegar al 100% , es muy lento y tarda 2 o 3 minutos y puedes ver como una especie de barra de progreso parecida a |||||..., al acabar la impresora se queda en lista para imprimir pero no hace nada y comienza a enfriarse otra vez pero esta vez no pone detenida ni nada, simplemente no hace nada.
Mientras no apague la impresora se sigue repitiendo el segundo caso permanentemente en cada intento de impresión, si la apago y comienzo de nuevo entonces ocurre el primer suceso y todo se vuelve a repetir.

Hi, maybe you need to make sure your 3D Touch is installed correctly. And have you tried connecting to a computer for printing?

Yesterday after lot of hours trying again different things I tried With repetier host instead of cura engine and find a hex file for it in Geeetech web,
After slice the piece to print, the program started to put hot the bed but not the nozzle and after the hot bed was at 50ºc It started to move like if were printing but doing nothing because the nozzle was cold.
The program as a manual options and I put manually the nozzle at 200ºc and then it worked for 1 print, the first that i did but with the poor quality ^^.

Was a piece to make like a test or to use it to calibrate the printer , https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2975429 I had one corner with warping and bent out the hot bed, one part with oozing without filament between the bridges and other with overhang because I think that the program also did not activated the Fan unit for the printed piece...

I have a lot of work in front and dont stop to read about everything but I can't find a solution or just print from a simple SD card... :cry: :cry:
