a bit while ago, but here an update: We changed the Stepper Driver and it works! We had some issue with big blobs coming out and getting hard. The Printer runs over it and... Whoops it destroys itself. We changed it by Levelling the Plate and making the Retraction higher. THANKS Thank you So much for Helping us out!

So… we took a look at the stepper driver and we saw, that the X driver is a different one than Y and Z. I swapped X with Z and oh… It works. Though I think that Z will not function correctly with an Broken driver. Which one should I buy as an replacement? (Blue one in Image was the working and the Green one wasn’t)

Hey, its warping extremely in the X axis. It even hits the stopper. The PLA should be inserted correctly

Second try! We are thinking that the motor of the axis is a problem, it also screams very loud if it moves. Which specs does the x axis motor have?

What it is/what it should be

And it wont squirt pla

In Hannover (Lower Saxony/Niedersachsen)

Update: Firmware was updated and it seems to be running… display is still not active, it doesn’t dispense pla, I will look but it seems like it doesnt extrude. Extrude motor is running though.

Hey there, I am on a primary school in Germany, I tried running pronterface and it kind of worked? But there was a catch, what can I do about it?

I have IT class Wednesdays, thursdays and Fridays, so I probably can only work on these days on it. The Controller has no Potetiometer or I cant see it. I dismantled it but still it wont work. Even though it has errors, Pronterface can return to home, in this case only the X Motor gets triggered, is that correct? And if I say that it should heat, it doesnt... when I stop it it just spams pronterface with "Heating Failed"

Alllrighty, First of all thank you very much for your feedback. I find the COM3 Port but sadly the school PC's dont allow Pronterface to interact with the printer 😕 (or maybe it was just me running Cura and Pronterface at the same time ツ). Furthermore if I plugged the Arduino in, it actually made a sound 😄 I will try running the screen when I am back at school. Is there any image of which Cable does exactly belong where? Just in case its wrong :D. Have a nice Weekend and We'll talk next week.

So that’s what I got, the connections seem to be fine, pronterface can’t even connect to the printer. Firmware was updated but still nothing happened. I have absolutely no clue what to do now

Hey there! in my class we are doing 3d sculpting. 3 People and I am doing the Printing Part. Today we have looked for an 3d Printer, which was the Ultimaker Original Plus (not sure about which version exactly). We don't know the state of it. The Teacher just told us, that it is like warping into one direction and as you can see from the title our Ultimaker Original Plus is not working at all. It won't raise the Floor, I can not control it using the Monitor tab, it will not show me any temperature, the Nozzle won't heat up. The Screen on the Printer lights up but won't show any Text or information. We don't really know what we can do. The Comuter Science Teacher told us there is an Arduino Built In. So is there a way we can try to control every Pin in the Arduino to just search like what is broken? Is there any other way to fix it? Tomorrow I will make some Photos and Videos to just Further explain it.
