A10M Help please, newbie here

Post by aculed » Sun Mar 15, 2020 6:07 am

I've reached out to geeetech customer service with no answer, so hopefully someone here has some insight :) I purchased the a10m last week, my only successful print so far has been the dog that came preloaded on the SD card. Since then I have noticed bed wobble, it is not fully stable. Ive tightened the bolts that are next to the rollers under the build plate. when using the auto leveling in the firmware, by the time I get to the last corner, I check the first corner and its unaligned again. I've figured out how to get it fairly level after repeating the test 5 times lol. I have tried many prints, majority are very wiry, it will complete the print but it crumbles when I pull it off the plate (example in pic). I'm new to this so I figure my parameters are off in cura, so I really have been trying to do my research on putting together the best settings. I tried downloading a cura profile for the a10m, and I still have the same results, maybe I didn't save it correctly? I'm lost here lol. Could this be just because my bed is off and I don't have enough squish?

I just tried another print, it wasn't sticking again after trying to add blue tape. I notice when its not sticking, no filament keeps coming out though. I got a little annoyed and freed up the extruder and pushed my filament in harder by hand and those are the brighter lines on the print, do I maybe have a clog? (edit, for some reason the picture isn't posting

Hi, you can try to heat the hot end temperature to 200 and then manually push the consumables,
Check whether the discharge is normal, and determine whether the nozzle is blocked.
Blockages need to be cleaned up in a timely manner;

Then you need to level the hot bed,
The Mylar version is the distance between the nozzle and the hot bed is the distance between the two leveling papers.

Whether to calibrate the extruder,
