I already change the direction of X axis, please forget about my other messages. Please delete my posts. My only problem now is the LCS. I'll try to solve it. Thanks for your help.

"1) the LCD is green, it does not display anything; I switched tha cables and there is not any change."
maybe you need to adjust the trimpot on the back of the LCD as this link shows:

"2) I download Arduino 1.0.1, selected Mega2560, COM4 and tried to verify the firmware but I got this error message: "
never run into this error before, have you downloaded the correct firmware and how about using another arduino? like 1.5.2

I have just bought and assembled the printer, but it is not printing properly, it prints but filament is not coming out properly and it becomes a mess , it is just melting the filament and just waisting it, pla help to make it print as i have cleaned the nozzel as well but no luck.

Yes motor is working but filament seems slowly coming out and making a mess, so rather than printing it is just making mess, it seems that motor is not feeding enough filament.

any photos to show the mess and the distance between the nozzle and the heatbed after homing?

The main problem is filament is not sticking with the bed, so please let me know what adhesive i should use or any tape i need to use ao the filament sticks with the bed and starts printing.
