Geeetech A10M, bad printing since purchase

Post by Pajarobergaz » Sat Aug 24, 2019 6:12 am

A few months back I bought a geeetech a10m from internet. The package was good and the pieces arrived in good shape.
After screwing and assemble the printer I made some tests. Of course the quality of the pieces wasn´t very good so I dedicated a lot of updating the firmware, adjust the screws of the extruder, perfectly level the bed, cleaning the axis, adjusting the steps on the memory (since the original number is wrong from factory) and made a deep cleaning.

Nothing has changed in the quality, there are layer shifts, a lot of stringing, under extrusion even with a ridiculous amount of flow. I tried changing the filament brands, a lot of parameters and slicers but I can get a good quality print.

Hope someone can help me.

I would like to post a picture, but I don´t have the patience to know how to use the Image for this forum.

I gave a last chance to the printer following this post: https://www.geeetech.com/forum/viewtopi ... 6&start=10. However, the screws wont get out (tried to remove them 3 whole days) and it looks like the nozzle is perma-clogged.

The part I hate the most is "it is true they are intended as anti back flow but it is also true these disks are the direct cause of 100s of other issues and when there removed there are zero noted draw backs.
they need to stop putting these disks in at the factory they are self sabotaging there own products with them.
many of my discord users have done this and all of there issues went away and had no issues since its been many months since they did this." - Vert.

It clearly looks like Geeetech doesn´t know how to make quality products. At least, my printer didn´t work properly after 6 months working on it. The structure its ok (maybe) but the extruder is trash.

I feel I wasted my money with this printer.

Try to use my printing profile
A10M Slic3r profile: here and fresh on github (lot of tips here)
A10 Slic3r profile: here
TIP: tight all screws and wheels (except right side of Z axis) and re-align frame while assembly. And silence it.
