Kapitel 7. Troubleshooting
Service
If you have questions regarding the commissioning or operation or in case of a problem, please
contact your stockist or the support of the company German RepRap GmbH via their website
(https://www.germanreprap.com).
7.1. The printer cannot be connected with the repeating host
In case the connection with the printer via Repetier-Host fails, it has to be checked whether a different program
uses the port "COMx "for the communication with the printer., e.g. the Arduino software. Quit the other
software if necessary. After that, or if no other program uses the port "COMx", the reset button has to be pressed
to restart the printer. Unplugging and replugging the USB cable has the same effect. Now the printer should
be available.
7.2. No commands are transmitted to the printer
If no commands like movements of the axes or heating of the hot end are transmitted to the printer via the
Repetier-Host, the electrical supply has to be checked. Make sure the power supply is switched on and connected
to the RAMPS. In case the problem persists and is not related to the power supply, updating the firmware may
solve the issue.
7.3. The motors cannot be controlled
Problems with the controlling of the motors can have different reasons. At first it should be verified that the
power supply of the RAMPS electronics is switched on and correctly wired. In case the electrical supply is not
the problem, the wiring of the motors may be at fault. If the difficulty with the motors still persists, check
whether the firmware was correctly transferred onto the Arduino board. This can simply be validated by heating
up the hot end.
7.4. The Y-axis cannot be moved and only produces loud noises
If both motors are clicking but the Y-axis is not moving, the wiring of the Y-axis might be at fault. As shown in
the "Circuit diagram[S.193]", the Y-axis motors have to be wired with opposite polarity, meaning the motors
are supposed to move in different directions.
7.5. The motors rotate in one direction only
If the motors only rotate in one direction, the problem lies with the end stops. In that case, the functionality
of the end stops has to be checked. The LED has to flash when switched on and the light barrier is not broken.
The LED should stop flashing when the light barrier is broken, e.g. with a screwdriver.
