Hi Guys,

I got this Hotend http://www.geeetech.com/reprap-hot-end-v20-with-035mm-04mm-nozzle-p-685.html
With my Aluminimum Reprap Prusa i3 Kitset.
But it really does not extrude well.

Is the kitest supposed to have a Fan?
Nothing is in the kitset.

Or should it work better with this one? http ...

I have a similar problem.
I think it is the step calculation in firmware.
Geeetech should provide these settings for each kit.

Define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT


or at least enough info so we can calculate it from this calculator: http://prusaprinters.org/calculator/#stepspermmlead

Are all kitset manuals incomplete? My Aluminimum i3 Kitset was the same. Your website sale say everything is included but really these kitsets are only for the parts. Right?

Hi,
Can you please advise me on the correct calculations for the firmware for this Kitset.
We need to know exactly the right configuration to setup in the firmware for stepping etc.
This kit has M5 rods for z axis but i dont know the pitch and it is something you could tell me.
Currently I have ...

Hi,

I tried testing my printer but the motors go opposite directions and other issues.

I now understand that I have to upload new FIRMWARE to the RAMPS 1.4 printer control board. So it learns which way to turn the motors etc.
Is there a default file with all the default settings already in place ...

I just check my mailbox and the LCD parts are sitting there waiting for me!
That was super fast, many thanks.

Excellent.
Have a great day!

Hi,

Yes the photos were a good help. The Dupont wire was not in the kit so I had to order some from a local supplier.
Did anyone send the missing LCD controller? Can you check for me please.

Thank you for all your help.
My printer is looking very good now.

Regards Lee

Thank you this has been a big improvement.
Did you also send the replacement LCD as promised?

It is the only thing missing from finishing my project.

I did notice some small errors in your wiring perhaps.

Hi,
A couple more questions.

1. I think I must cut the white plug off the 12vDC power, strip and screw into board directly? As the photo you show can't be the same board design as in the kit for Ramps 1.4... correct?
2. The 2x Z Axis stepper motors, the white plugs to connect to the Ramps board ...
