I'm new to 3d printing and after getting pro c and only using one extruder and having so many issues with bed leveling I decided to get the 3dtouch thinking it will make things easy. and it been a nightmare. I found frameware on this thread downloaded the file made the changes and upload it using Arduino 1.0.1 because it was the only one that didn't give a compile error.
then it uploaded with no issue and when I send a print X seems to have changed direction and z stops like 1 inch from the bed and starts to print in mid-air.
I soldered the extra pin properly and all connections are correct. i have the GT2560 old board so i had to solder the extra pin.
its going crazy. i have an older version of the geeetech i3 pro c with the mega 2560 not the rev a or plus.
can you please help.
my printer now has become a very sad paperweight.
thank you any help will be much appreciated

Hi, is this happen to all the models you print,
When changed to firmware with 3d touch,
Whether to perform calibration processing,
And change the save settings.

Re: help with my i3 pro c & 3dtouch
actually I can't even get it to start printing. the 3dtouch just stops and the Z axis try to break my printing bed.
Re: help with my i3 pro c & 3dtouch
Hi, do you calibrate the 3d touch itself,
The z-axis limit switch can be removed
3d touch functions as a limit switch.
You can refer to 3d touch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RtsZDbR2po
Perform calibration.

Re: help with my i3 pro c & 3dtouch
thank you again for your time. i looked through my LCD display and now i dont see the BLTouch self test option anymore. not sure what i did for it to go away.

Hi, are you update the firmware?
about the pro c firmware you can refer to this:viewtopic.php?f=20&t=17046

Re: help with my i3 pro c & 3dtouch
Hello Everyone.
I'm in dire need of trying to fix my geeetech i3 pro c auto bed leveling issues. i am out of options and is about to smash it after so many attempts to fix it. here I go
after connecting all these pins correctly i uploaded the marlin frameware with the correct configs. i will attach the marlin files and pictures of my 2560 board and some of the errors im getting when i run the code.
at first when i press auto home the printer came to somewhat middle of the bed and homed correctly. the only issue was getting the z axis correct. so then i connect the printer with pronterface and began trying to fix the z axis. and when i try to move the Z down using the manual controls it wont go below zero. then found out every time i try to adjust the z axis offset using pronterface it gives me this error "echo:Z Offsetz_min: -15z_max: -5"
>>> m851
SENDING:M851
echo:Z Offset :
-0.78
>>> m851 z0
SENDING:M851 Z0
echo:Z Offsetz_min: -15z_max: -5
then nothing happens when i even try to turn off the soft end stops
>>> M211 S0
SENDING:M211 S0
>>> M211 S0
SENDING:M211 S0
>>> M211 S0
SENDING:M211 S0
so while i was trying to see what was going on with this i must have cchanged or done something, now when i hit auto home the X and Y axis goes to the nds and starts grinding the gears then the Z comes down all the way at the end of the table around 200,200. i have attached a video of this just to show what is going on.
this is some of my Config...h data

// X and Y offsets must be integers
#define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -6
#define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -60
#define Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -1.4
i measured the x offset to be -6mm and Y offset to be -66 however it won't let me add -66 as y-probe offset only lets me do -60 so i left it at -60.
so i reupload the frameware several times but the printer will not home as it did the first time. now the x trys to go off and so does the y just like in the video.
my printer bed is 210 by 210
i now know how to manually send commands using printerface and would like to plead for your assistance. because im am lost.
thank you
