I was really excited the other day when I found a Ender 5 Pro on sale at Amazon for $340.I have been wanting to get into 3D printing for a while and finally jumped in.
Before assembling printer, I installed a duel gear extruder. FYI
First problem. Assembled printer and turned it on. Nothing..... Checked voltage switch and it was set properly. I discovered yesterday that one of the power supply mounting screws was shorting out the power supply
Second problem. I tried calibrate the extruder steps per You Tube video. Followed directions and printer would not feed filament.
Third problem. I decided to deal with extruder step adjustment later and just print something. I selected the dog figure from included micro SD card. I set both hot end and bed temps. Let everything heat up properly and started the print process. It printed a few strands and stopped printing. I discovered that the temps on both the bed and hot end started falling as soon as the printing started
Next problem: Now I can not even get a few strands of filament out of the print head. Nozzle is Not plugged because I can push on the filament and get molten filament out of the nozzle.
Could the fact that board was shorted out have anything to do with these problems?
Please help
