New Geeetech A20M 3D printer; new to 3D printing

3 Upvotes

Hey all! So I recently purchased a Geeetech A20M (dual extruder) printer. I've never owned a 3D printer before but I do have a couple friends who have them, and as such I've seen some of the build processes and issues with a few different models. So I'm still a complete noob with these, but I'm not scared to get my hands dirty. I'm looking at purchasing the Auto Level Sensor for it and was wondering if anyone has any experience or thoughts regarding this add-on. I'm also wondering if anyone could point me toward some trusted brands/stores for filament, or tell me what is good to keep an eye out for and what is good to avoid as far as the filament goes. As of right now I'm only looking to print mono color plastics (not sure if it's actually called plastics or if it goes by another name.) If this printer allows it (or if I can mod it later) I'd eventually like to toy around with some of the metal stuff, but that is not a priority at all right now.

Thanks in advance!

Honest opinion on GEEETECH A30

3 Upvotes

So with a shaky hand, I pushed the buy now button and purchased the GEEETECH A30.

I am a little apprehensive with the purchase as I am a little concerned and cannot find any real info on the software that this unit runs. It states that it is a propitiatory software.

Being new to 3D printing, and having a Creality Ender 3 pro, is there many differences that I can expect on printing in CURA, as it is the only program I am familiar with.

Thank you for your in put.

Cheers

RJ

Ive never done 3d printing but am interested in buying one and am curious if the a10m would be best for me compared to an ender 3 or a flashforge finder.

A10 Runout Sensor Help

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I'm the proud new owner of the A10 and am really liking the printer so far and it has been doing well to keep up with the Prusa I own and surpassing the Ender 3 Pro. The one thing I'm having some issue with is the filament sensor. I have enabled it in the Marlin code as well as turning it on from the printer. I can see in my octoprint terminal that when the sensor detects that the sensor has tripped it is sending a generic 'filament out' message to the terminal but not the M600 code as I would expect.

I can see that M600 is working and a recognized command as I can run it from the terminal and it performs exactly as expected.

Does anyone have any insight as to why the A10 is sending a text based code when the filament sensor is triggered and not the M600 code? Below is my Marlin code.

From Configuration.h

/**

* Filament Runout Sensor

* A mechanical or opto endstop is used to check for the presence of filament.

*

* RAMPS-based boards use SERVO3_PIN.

* For other boards you may need to define FIL_RUNOUT_PIN.

* By default the firmware assumes HIGH = has filament, LOW = ran out

*/

#define FILAMENT_RUNOUT_SENSOR

#if ENABLED(FILAMENT_RUNOUT_SENSOR)

#define FIL_RUNOUT_INVERTING false // set to true to invert the logic of the sensor.

#define ENDSTOPPULLUP_FIL_RUNOUT // Uncomment to use internal pullup for filament runout pins if the sensor is defined.

#define FILAMENT_RUNOUT_SCRIPT "M600"

#endif

From Configuration_adv.h

*/

#define ADVANCED_PAUSE_FEATURE

#if ENABLED(ADVANCED_PAUSE_FEATURE)

#define PAUSE_PARK_RETRACT_FEEDRATE 60 // Initial retract feedrate in mm/s

#define PAUSE_PARK_RETRACT_LENGTH 2 // Initial retract in mm

// It is a short retract used immediately after print interrupt before move to filament exchange position

#define FILAMENT_CHANGE_UNLOAD_FEEDRATE 10 // Unload filament feedrate in mm/s - filament unloading can be fast

#define FILAMENT_CHANGE_UNLOAD_LENGTH 400 // Unload filament length from hotend in mm

// Longer length for bowden printers to unload filament from whole bowden tube,

// shorter length for printers without bowden to unload filament from extruder only,

// 0 to disable unloading for manual unloading

#define FILAMENT_CHANGE_LOAD_FEEDRATE 6 // Load filament feedrate in mm/s - filament loading into the bowden tube can be fast

#define FILAMENT_CHANGE_LOAD_LENGTH 400 // Load filament length over hotend in mm

// Longer length for bowden printers to fast load filament into whole bowden tube over the hotend,

// Short or zero length for printers without bowden where loading is not used

#define ADVANCED_PAUSE_EXTRUDE_FEEDRATE 3 // Extrude filament feedrate in mm/s - must be slower than load feedrate

#define ADVANCED_PAUSE_EXTRUDE_LENGTH 50 // Extrude filament length in mm after filament is loaded over the hotend,

// 0 to disable for manual extrusion

// Filament can be extruded repeatedly from the filament exchange menu to fill the hotend,

// or until outcoming filament color is not clear for filament color change

#define PAUSE_PARK_NOZZLE_TIMEOUT 45 // Turn off nozzle if user doesn't change filament within this time limit in seconds

#define FILAMENT_CHANGE_NUMBER_OF_ALERT_BEEPS 9000000 // Number of alert beeps before printer goes quiet

#define PAUSE_PARK_NO_STEPPER_TIMEOUT // Enable to have stepper motors hold position during filament change

// even if it takes longer than DEFAULT_STEPPER_DEACTIVE_TIME.

//#define PARK_HEAD_ON_PAUSE // Go to filament change position on pause, return to print position on resume

//#define HOME_BEFORE_FILAMENT_CHANGE // Ensure homing has been completed prior to parking for filament change

#endif

A10 vs XY-2 vs Ender 3

2 Upvotes

I've been looking for my next 3d printer (previously owned a prusa i3 pro b, but had little experience with it) I've done research on affordable printers under $250, and so far these seem like the best printers. For me, this will be like a reintroduction into 3D printing.

From the specs sheet and watching recent YouTube videos for the last 2 weeks, the Geeetech A10 seems to be the one I like best over the Ender 3. It has several features already built in that catch my eye (like a ridiculously easy frame, taller build area, bltouch support built in, stock glass plate, etc.), yet I still see that the Ender 3 is the most popular.

For anyone experienced with either of these printers what's your opinion? Why is one better than the other? And which one would you recommend for a (somewhat) noob like me to buy?

I'll be posting this on the other subreddits, since I'm still open minded and I would love to hear opinions from all angles.
