It seems there are something wrong with the A4988 of Y axis.Try to increase the voltage of A4988,or just replace it.

Update, some minor success with this printer. I share the following only to assist those encountering feed issues.

First I found that the V1.0.02 version firmware appears to be the most stable with the least glitches.

second, I have replaced all the feeders with aluminum feeders. The plastic ones have serious flaws.

Third, I now print PLA at 235 degrees, this solves some of the feed issues even with quality feeders. The mass of the hotend appears to need the additional heat for decent color mixing.

Fourth my feed setting is @ 225.4 and I now can run at okay speed albeit slower than all my other printers.

I replaced the ribbon cable running to the LCD with a longer and better quality one from amazon. I also de-soldered and re-soldered the board as it came in dismal shape. I also replaced all the bearings as most were not smooth.

Now, its still a crap printer and I still have issues to resolve pertaining to print quality. But at least it now prints small parts in under 5 hours.

My best advice to anyone considering this printer is to wait, I am sure someone else will come out with a better product. I do not however believe Geeetech will ever correct the problems as they wont even admit they exist.

Hi there,

What did you do to fix this? when i measure across the ground to the potentiometer screw it is either 0.08V Or 5V and does not register any voltages in between. Do i have to change a component on the board? if so do you know where I can buy it form?

Cheers,

Ciao sono Mauro
L'estrusore della mia i3 pro b che non funziona correttamente.Quando imposto di estrudere 100 mm estrude solo 10 mm circa (ciò dimostra che il motore funziona) ma quando cerco di stampare il motore dell'estrusore non si muove.
se qualcuno mi può aiutare Ringrazio

1.Check the nozzle it is colgged or not(If it colgged,you should clean it via Ejector pin)
2.You can increase the voltage of A4988(You can refer to this post:
viewtopic.php?f=19&t=17097)
3.Check the gears of the extruder were be firmly fixed

Grazie di avermi risposto wiliam
Le verifiche che ho fatto sono:
1) Pulizia ugello ok
2) Controllo della temperatura ok
3) Controllo della tensione a 4998 0.9 v. ok
4) sostituzione A 4998
5) Controllo cavo di alimentazione ok
6) controllo funzionamento motore ok
7)ricaricato Frimware

Dopo tutto questo ancora il motore non funziona
