Is my Geeetech i3 Pro B Safe

[luffy99]

My first printer I bought was a Geeetech Prusa. I bought it when I new nothing about printing. I hardly ever use it. I just wanted to Know does this printer have the same problems https://speedtest.vet/ https://vidmate.bid/ of say a Anet A8? Dodgy PSU, Mainboard, Bed wires and connectors. I'm assuming it does because it's just a super cheap Chinese knock off. But I never really hear bad things about them, although that's probably because no one buys them.

I've owned my i3 Pro B since 2017, never had any problems with the mainboard or PSU. It DID stop working because the hot bed wouldn't heat up; the initial temperature registered as 0 degrees as the thermistor appeared to be open circuit. It turned out to be a broken wire in the Spiwrapped loom connecting the bed to the frame, the cables flexing had eventually broken one of the wires to the thermistor. I managed to find the break and spliced the wire after adjusting the length to lessen the flexing. I've also had to strip and rebuild the hot end once but considering I've been printing for short of five years with it, I don't think that's unacceptable.

Play Bonny!
