Re: Latest Firmware for i3 Pro C Dual-Extruder Printer

Thanks William Kwok.

Unlike most of the boards I post to, this site does not host photos--even small photos, so I am not likely to post a photo here.

Well, let me see. No, this message board not only monitors all posts, but also does not provide any kind of photo uploading.

Geeetech still hasn't replied to my request for a replacement part, as I was shipped 2 of z-left motor mounts and none of the right.
I plan to some youtube videos of the ...

Re: i3 Dual: Problems with Y-Axis Assembly

All the manuals need serious updating.

Using manuals and the videos I figured out that I needed to have collars with grubscrews on the shafts.

The Y-Axis motormount needs a redesign. Because they didn't want to put a large hole in the endplate, they made kept the part that projects into the ...

i3 Dual: Problems with Y-Axis Assembly
