Geeetech

Hi, I have been printing successfully for quite some time now, but during my last print the printer stopped and nothing displays on the LCD anymore, neither does the board have LEDs lit up, when powered via the PSU.

I have plugged in a laptop direct via USB and I am getting the LCD to backlight ...

Update. With the third jumper firmly in place on the board, the x axis skew is fixed. All I had to do was work out what a jumper was!!! Thanks for the help. Mostly printing well now, just had some mintemp errors and extruder clicking (upped the stepper motor driver via the potentiometer from .8 ish ...

The board was missing a jumper on the x axis. Placed another in its place. Testing to follow

Ok thanks. I will try to check that (a bit unfamiliar but i can see there are some discussions out there. How many steps should the geeetech be? The article shows configs for 1:16, 1:32 etc.

I would think a slipping belt would have it move less, not 3 times as far but mmmni am no huge expert. Any other possibilities like an incorrect stepper motor or something?

Yes, the circle which should be 20mm is printing as an ellipse that is over the bed edge approximated at about 100mm wide. I noted a similar distortion in movement values using Prepare/Move Axis/X/10mm increments, where i inputted 60mm and it moved over 200mm. I factor the calibration issue to be ...

Hi, I am hoping someone else has encountered this problem or can provide some advice.

After initial assembly of my aluminium I3, I attempted to level the bed and noted that a x axis movement input of about 60mm was greater than the size of the bed (200mm). After fixing some other issues, i tried a ...

Will do thanks. Any ideas or suggestions as to why the movement values are so extreme compared to the inputted values? Ie. I directed a 60mm move and it hit the far right side from home or around 200mm plus. I saw elsewhere on forums for other machines that some stepper motors have occasionally been ...

Have pushed laterally in direction of card and against the board but no change to "No sd card message"

Sorry, I am not sure what you mean by press the sd card. I have put 3 different ones in, is it a matter of applying force to see if the connections are loose?
