I start my printer, the fans will start going but the screen will instantly change to saying;
Homing Failed
Printer Halted
Please Reset
I’m not sure what to do, I need this thing working ASAP
Sounds like an end stop is messed up. With the tool head in the middle of the bed, type M119 and see if you have “Triggered” anywhere. If so, fix those and see if that solves the problem. I’m not sure if triggered is a short or a broken wire, but you’ll figure it out. Could also be a bad controller board but wiring is more likely.
I’m having the same problem. “type” where?
Assuming the printer is connected to something via USB, you probably run a program on that something. Most of those programs have a monitor mode with a console button. This console displays output from the printer and has an input box. Type M119 in that box.
If you provide some details on your configuration, we can provide a better set of instructions.
Thanks, for the info. Turns out my problem was a bad step motor. I’ve been cannibalizing my workshop printer to repair others and after swapping that it works great. Have a growing list of parts to replace on mine.
