I got brave enough to unbox my Artist-D last night. After many hours, I completed putting it together, double checked the cables to make sure I did not forget to put one in its proper slot. I even put the white male into the black female and vice versa. The first thing was to heat the nozzle. I then checked the motors. They all seem to work. At this point, I proceeded to level the bed. No Go!! I could not get extruder 1 to drop to the limit switch let alone to the bed. I struggled with this for over an hour. At one point by cutting the printer off and physically moving it down to just above the bed, I turned the printer back on. As long as I did not tell it to go to location 1 it worked fine. I went around the table about three times. When I told it to go to location 1 (center). It raised at least 3 inches and each time I pressed this button it repeated. Manually moving it down, it would drop to about 2 inches above the table and limit switch. Oh! one thing. The first time I tried to move the extruders, it made a loud noise like on my other printer where something is blocking the full movement. I checked and there was nothing obstructing. I powered off and on and it stopped. I will play with the printer to see if I can solve the problem, If not I will box it up and send it back and look toward something else.
