Geeetech

can I at least get all of the x axis parts, since they are going to be the next to wear out?

great. could I get the rest of the files as well? they aren't needed direly atm, but I will need them in the future.

Several parts of my mendel I3 are beginning to wear out after little more than one kg roll of filament. I would print out and replace them myself, however Geeetech is using some mutant variant of the I3 that I am not familiar with, and so I can't just find the parts on thingiverse.

Unfortunately ...

You can find a set of directions for assembling the Wade's extruder inside the directions for the Mendel I2. they use the same extruder.

Aha! I didn't realize there was a slot there! good thing I have an adapter for the micro sd card that came with the printer.

Is there a set of directions and a download location for the firmware to allow usage of the lcd screen with the printer? if so, could you please give me the link or email me?

I'm sorry, but then why was I sent both an SD card reader and an lcd display?

I'm sorry, but the z motors on the board are not moving.

The z motors on the board never moved. I had this problem from the beginning, the board came broken.

Is it possible to get a replacement to the board, since it came broken?

DIR and GND fluctuated from .01 to 5.1 volts
STP and GND fluctuated from 1.1 to 2.55 volts
RET and GND was only .143 volts

When I tested the areas you directed, I got the following results:
the DIR and GND was a dud, .002 volts
the STP and GND was very low, .025 volts
the RET and GND was almost normal 1.25~ volts

I'm sorry if this wasn't clear. changing the firmware did not work. the z axis motors still do not move.

Is there anything else that can be done, or is this a confirmed hardware problem?

If it is a hardware problem, then how does Geeetech go through the replacement process?
