Geeetech

That's the thing, William. If I pre-heat the nozzle, it will drip out whatever plastic was inside it. If I manually push filament through, or use the UI to advance the extruder head, then I get a dangly filament of melted PLA. But when I try to print things, I either get a small amount of filament ...

Your firmware certainly feels more "thorough", @Vert

No horrible grinding noises from the motors so far. But still no luck printing. I am very confused: I saw a post somewhere about the need for the cooling fan to work properly otherwise the filament won't extrude properly - the sense I got was ...

Video 1 clearly shows what happens when the bed isn't level

That noise isn't normal? Phew. How would I check the Y home switch?

I'm running 1.1.8

Hmm, well I haven't made any progress so far.

Here's an example of a successful print (in as much as some filament came out). Most of the time it produces nothing - filament just sticks to the nozzle. I have cleaned the nozzle (and yes I do clean the bed too - that example is a bit dirty but it ...

I was given an A10 for my birthday by an equally old man who likes choosing fun gifts :)

I built it today, mostly using YouTube because the instructions are... less than clear in some parts. Do the ribbon cable before you bolt it to the thing, etc.

Anyway: I have a few issues, and some questions ...
