I assembled my printer (M201) and connected it to my computer, but nothing powers on except the LCD screen. If I try to manually move the motors with the computer, nothing happens. If I tell the heatbed or extruders to warm up, nothing happens (except the LCD screen acknowledges whatever the computer says). I can also not move the motors from the LCD screen.
I have checked my connections and I set the baud rate and everything else just as the manual had said to.
I suspect the Power Supply doesn't work.
What next?
Nothing powers on
Re: Nothing powers on

Re: Nothing powers on
I used my meter and realized that it was set for the 220v input when I only have 110v. It is functioning now and all motors are moving and everything seems to heat up correctly, but I have run into 2 more problems preventing me from making my first print. Firstly, in Rep, when I slice the 1cm test cube (or any other model), it does not come out properly. It keeps coming out as a single layer ring. (I added a picture of the sliced test cube). I made sure I changed all the settings as instructed and all the slicer settings were set to the "normal" configuration that I loaded.
Secondly, if I try to print the ring, the printer goes through the motion of the ring, but no plastic comes out. I did make sure to manually feed the plastic through to make sure it isn't blocked up or anything.
I'm not sure what to do about either of these issues.

Re: Nothing powers on
how could it be...then how about reinstall the repetier host? or use the previous or later version?
And the ring, it's too small the extruder needs a minimum length to extrude filament out of the nozzle, try to print a larger object.
