There are two things to watch out for: One: When using the heated bed, BoXZY's 19V power supply has literally 0 excess wattage available. Truthfully, BoXZY uses more wattage than the power supply can provide, but the voltage is provided at very tightly controlled intervals using pwm, so that it can technically use more power than available, as the waves go high at different points. If you pull any direct voltage or even additional pwm from BoXZY when the heated bed is operational, it will shutdown the power supply until you do a hard power reset. Even a small case fan could do it, or USB accessory. Two: You can create a ground loop with a Pi if you're not careful, depending on how you power it. It’s not a good idea to use BoXZY's 19V power supply to power anything that connects to BoXZY via USB. In a ground loop situation the interface may lock up the micro controller and/or interface and appear not to be heating, while heating uncontrollably (runaway heater). Always verify the heater is truly not heating...

What version of the Arduino program are you using? You must use 1.0.6 for uploading firmware.

What you are describing is overheating drivers exactly. It was a flawless description of that issue, including the idle noises and erratic movements. Please check to verify that your back fans are working, the mesh filter is clean, and your circuit board is not covered in dust. I'm confident the issue is a failing fan, clogged/blocked filter, or both. Both fans are 100% necessary. Note: you should avoid cutting particle board directly without using a vacuum to immediately capture the dust. The dust is so fine and basically microscopic that it gets onto and clogs everything. It can also find its way into the bearings too easily. If you milled a significant amount of particle board without a vacuum, you will need to lubricate your bearings and ballscrews as soon as possible. The particle board dust dries the bearings and ballscrews out almost immeidately. You will also need to thoroughly clean your back electronic cover, boards, fans, and mesh filter.

Hi Scott, When you say you replaced the stepper motor, did you replace it with a motor purchased from BoXZY? You cannot replace the motor with any other brand of motor, or your machine will not work properly. The ballscrew can be cleaned and rebuilt, but BoXZY does not provide instructions on how to do this, as it is a difficult process to do correctly, and they use specialized tools. You should send the machine into BoXZY if the ballscrews need to be taken apart. If one of your linear bearings lost balls, you should replace it. They are simple and cheap to replace. BoXZY sells the bearings on their website. Please note that after the gantry is removed, the machine must be reassembled in a specific order, or you can create a situation where the machine will lockup under movement. Please refer here: Reassembling your BoXZY X and Y Gantry

There are only two things, assuming all connections are good, that would likely cause that issue. A bad heater cartridge in the nozzle, or the extruder 1 mosfet is damaged. Both can be replaced fairly easily. BoXZY sells the heater cartridges on their website. The mosfet is a IRF3205, It is located about 20mm past where the heater wires are wired into the board, directly in line with the wires, just before expansion 2.

Is everything else working properly? Motors moving, fan etc? What does the temperature read on startup? In the log at the bottom of the screen, does it say “printer detected" when you plug in the printer head?

It sounds like a scaling issue causing over pixelation. Did you create or scale your images to 0.1mm per pixel before uploading them? 2.2 Laser Etching with BoXZY Also, as noted in the manual, png is a preferable format to jpeg, as jpegs usually include lots of stray pixels. So you may want to export your file from Photoshop in png format.

It’s hard so say how or why the bed suddenly warped, as it's pretty hard to warp 1/4 aluminum. I doubt it happened due to loose components, as the mounting screws are on the perimeter. However, you can get a piece of borosilicate glass from ebay ($10-20), and use binder clips to attach it over the platform, and that will provide a new perfectly flat print surface.

You should be able to resolve that by using this guide: Troubleshooting Connection Issues

Lack of adhesion can be caused by a vast number of factors including nozzle height, leveling, bad filament, temperature etc. Please provide a photo or video of the issue and post this question in the answers section so we can help you further:

Hi Martha,

You can find the same item here: https://m.ebay.com/itm/Router-Rotational...

For this write up, you are correct, everything would have to be returned to original to 3D print. There is an available empty slot on the board, however, the programming is not in place for it to be used without firmware modification.

The aluminum selection work correctly for brass.

Not in BoXZY’s current configuration on factory hardware.
