Various random errors after building

in Assembly

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

1 : Check the wires

3 : Stop using it before change the code for servo otherwise it will break the servo

check -> -> Servo not switching properly from Chris D

4, 5 : check the platform position

DSE: If you're building with the Dual Switching Extruder, mount the platform 75mm from the left of the extrusion.


That's all I know so far, Good luck to you.

Wireing should be fine, doublechecked it according to the manual. Also I can't imagine how the temperature difference between the thermistors could be related to the wiring. Was my first guess to I have to admit. Thanks for linking the thread! Only curious thing is that it worked and from one restart to the other it stopped moving the servo and only moved z-axis a bit.


Fixed as far as I can see. Buildplate is a bit wobbly, guess that needs a bit of tightening and playing around with the excentric spacers. Thanks for reaching out @itsmejun ! best regards

Hi Michael,


Sorry to hear you're having these issue, we're here to help and send replacement parts if need be!


In addition to what itsmejun has mentioned it sounds like you may have a bad control board/thermistors that's causing the errors.


We can get replacements sent out, I've just emailed you now.

Hey guys,


Where should the plug/Pins from the probe go? The replacement is a 2.0 Version of the MKS, the old was a 1.0. The layout is different, connecting the probe to Z-Min does not work. Where should the blue and the black wire go? Does it work with the actual Firmware?


Thanks in advance!
