Hi !
Recently, I just bought DMS DP5 Online.
I got SD card which containing Salento 3D Pronta.
I already assembled it and try to print something.
So, I choose to print from SD card, which containing Zxianwei.gcode.
After that the 3d printer go to bed heating mode...
My problem is the bed heating process is stuck. I wait and nothing happened.
It only print out Bed heating .
What should I check for this problem ?
Thank you before.
Warm regards.

I don't know if you know this but that file is the old mount for the Z axis sensor that was replaced when they moved to the proximity sensor.
The printer will wait for the heaters to come up to temp, what does your screen say? (post a photo if you can)

Is the bed actually heating, or is the display telling you that "Bed Heating" with no temperature increase, this could well be a problem with the thermistor, I would first check the connection at the Mobo end, if that doesn't help, use the spare part that was with the package and replace the thermistor. FYI most heating issues are caused by faulty thermistors.

Good point Tanephar, these machines have had a lot of troubles with loose screws. If you haven't already it might be a good idea to go over the entire machine and make sure nothing it too loose in case yours had a rough ride over.

When I got my printer the bed's temperature sensor was broken. If I remember right the printer migh't just have got stuck to that "bed heating" with no temperature reading.

kioskfan tanephar antti. Thank you for your response ! Indeed, I finally try to check it myself and the problem is with the thermistor. Somehow, it broke. Dunno why how it broke, but the seller said they already tested it before send it to me... Anyway, thanks to the spare sensor, It can work now. Thank you for all of your responses, too. But I face another problem though, after printing the demo file (Zxianwei.gcode), It is sooooooooo sticky ! I have to use hammer to shake it slowly. But even so, It won't lifted up. I waited it for cooldown before try to take it from the hotbed (I read it somewhere). This forces me to peel off again the black plastic bed from the rigid one, since it is flexible I can shake it until it comes off by itself. Any suggestion about this ? Also, what software that are easy to use for DMS DP5 ? I usually used sketch up to design. But I don't know how to print to DMS DP5 by using usb cable. Please let me know, If I have to post this into separate thread. Thank you Warm regards.

SketchUp is what I use for design too, but you need the export/import stl extension, also get the Solid Inspector and Clean Up extensions from the Extension Warehouse. It is better to copy gcode to the sdcard and print from that, the printer needs uninterrupted information and sometimes with a computer the information flow can be interrupted by OS and process requests.
I have been using MatterControl as my slicer and control/option software.
As for the zxianwei file that is from an obsolete part and yes it squishes right down onto the bed, if you want to check printing download a calibration cube from Thingiverse, or if you do opt for MatterControl there are calibration cubes with the software and also a calibration ring.
Once you have it running and calibrated properly the DP5 is a great printer.

Most of what I've been making is single parts to repair stuff around the house and making motor mounts and stuff for my CNC project and Tinkercad had been working just fine. When I want to make multiple part assemblies or things that need more complex shapes I used Fusion360. Both output directly to my slicer and I'm happy to stay with these two. Here's my public collection of designs and my videos using Tinkercad and F360 |
