Geeetech

Ok so I am quite new to 3D printing but I’d say I’ve come quite far in that time but I seem to be encountering reliability issues. I have had:

Geeetech i3

Geeetech E180

Monoprice Maker Select Plus

Geeetech A30

All have had issues they typically break 2-4 weeks after buying it ranges from ...

I got a new geeetech A10 printer and I'm new to all this.

Can someone tell me why my computer refuses to acknowledge its existence? No software I've used sees it plugged in, and every tutorial glosses over the connection; they see what i don't. I've tried easyprint, cura, and pronterface.

Please ...
