Hey guys! Just fully assembled the Proforge 2S kit. Now I'm facing various problems. Maybe you have tipps or ideas what could be the problem :-) 1) Extruder #1 doesn't heat a single degree, error after ~30s. Powersupply delivers 24V, Thermistor shows 26°C. Extruder #2 reached ~150°C before getting an Error. 2) Difference in measured room temperature between extruder 1 and 2 of 7°C 3) Switching heads stopped working after a few tries 4) Autoleveling randomly stops working - one time it gets the whole bed done, on other tries it gets errors 5) When moving to the front left corner to the autoleveling position the Y-axis makes strange noises 6) Touchscreen doesn't always react if you try to move axis 7) After the slightest error you have to repower the printer before you can do anything. I guess that was the troubles for the first shot. Hope that is fixable and that there are not more errors. Thanks in advance! Greetings Michael

Multi hour print failure, luckily soon in. The Kickstarter promised silicon pads, tape is not a good solution.

Hi, On each print, the hot head freezes after changing layer. It seems the more time passes and the more it freezes. Less than a second freeze at the bottom and several seconds at the top. On each freeze, some plastic is still extruded by the nozzle, leaving a bubble of plastic at each start. This makes the nozzle kick that bubble every time and makes ugly plastic spots all over the Z axis. Regularly, around 98%, it won't recover the freeze and stays at starting position, making a big bubble. If I pause the print, it takes a looooong time to actually pause and park the head. Then I can remove the big bubble and resume again... That crashes the LCD, it reboots on the resume print but showing 0%. If I hit resume, it goes to the right place but won't resume at the same spot, its like it missed a line. I think I am using the standard Cura setting with PLA+ : 0.3 nozzle with 0.2 layer. No temperature trouble when freezing, on both the bead and the head : no more than 1°C difference with what needed and most often 0. Anyone experience this trouble ? Some Cura settings that could do this or correct the trouble ?
