Guys,
I have had the m200 for under a week, so far less than 80 hours of printing. The quality of the prints are great, but I've now had an
issue with the z-axis position two times already.
During printing I noticed a section of the model wasn't how I wanted it, so i held the button down for 10 seconds to force the print to stop.
After going through the cancel options I moved the z-axis down to be clear of the nozzle for removing the plate. Power off, remove plug, and
remove plate to take partial print off.
Place the plate back in position, turn on, and try to start printing. The z-axis is at least 4-5cm lower than it should be, and it obviously
starts extruding spaghetti. I go through the calibration process, this completes fine, but the issue remains.
I have read up about the small 3 pin connector issues, so I removed the plate, and re-connected. It worked the first time, but it hasn't
worked this time. Now I'm getting error #042 Pad Probing problem.
Also, when signing up to this forum, my serial number was refused.
I have to say, whilst I’m very happy with the quality of the prints, you guys are letting me down in a couple key areas.
I was a Mechanical Engineer & CNC Machinist for over 12 years, and I can't believe that a flimsy 3 pin connector seems
to be the key issue here. Considering that you require the user to remove this connector for removal of EVERY print, this is
a major design flaw. Also, I am shocked that there are no limit switches for max stroke in Z-axis.
I'm in Melbourne, Australia. I assume I have to contact the re-seller about this issue yes?
