Hello Guys!
I just got my DP5 today, i assemled it and made the cura settings. But what do i have to do after that?
There is really no documentation on what to do next. So i dont know what to do, i dont know how i calibrate the printer, how i insert the filament correctly etc.
I Hope you guys can help me. Sorry for my bad english, i am from Germany!
EDIT:
ok i got the filament ready, but the heating bed does not heat, so i think the thermistor is defective, anyone knows how to replace it? also i got 2 wires on the bottom of the heatbed connected to nothing, but seller didnt said its wrong. also when i start printing, it just prints in the air
Regards
RainDropzZ

Hallo Raindropzz, mach da mal nichts mit den Kabeln und setze mal ein Foto hier rein ich denke ich kann dir da helfen, bin nur gerade anderweitig beschäftigt.... mach mal preheat pla und schau ob dann dein Bett heizt....weiteres später...musst halt ein wenig Geduld haben....
I hope nobody else has a problem that i answered this question in german, just asked him to take a picture of the cables and try preheat pla in case of wrong start Gcode.
Unfortuanlly i'm quite busy at the moment and will help ihm later....😀

Hallo ralf! Auch bei Preheat PLA heizt das Bed nicht. Habe das ganze Gentry jetzt noch etwas nach hinten bewegt, sieht schon etwas besser aus. Druckt auch nicht mehr in der Luft. Wie muss ich das Bed noch richtig leveln? Hatte bei den Prints aber auch das angegebene hinzugefügt.(Bzw. das vorherige ersetzt) G28 X0 Y0 ;move X/Y to min endstops
G28 Z0 ;move Z to min endstops
Bilder des Beds von unten als Attachment, leider etwas grottige quali da 1mb Grenze pro File. Preheat PLA doesnt work either. Done some adjustment to the Gentry looks better now. Doesnt print in the air now. How do i level the bed correctly? Added the code above to the Gcode. ![]() |

I take shots from my setup, sorry for my english The hot bed is 200 or more watts, your negative cable the solder is weak, i think you need to resolder more stronger. Can you share a picture from the back of the printer, like my last one, to look the travel of the bundle of cables?     |

Sorry, my photos upload in wrong order! i want to say the photo #3, the back of the machine, your bundle of cables coming from the backside of the bed are free like in my setup ? from the perspective in your photos i see like are coming from one hole on the support plate ( directly under the hot bed) |

Ok You have to weld it well, enough welding as in the photo of my bed. the gcode that works with my printer is only this: Example from Cura 2.5: G21 ; set units to millimeters G90 ; use absolute positioning M82 ; absolute extrusion mode G28 G29 M104 S{material_print_temperature} ; set extruder temp the gcode that come in the instruction folder on the SDCARD did not work. |

it now tries to print, but it fucked up the platic bedmat, abit, because it prints too near to the bottom, so nothing comes out of the nozzle. the Bed still doesnt heat.

The gcode: G28 G29 The G28 find x and y The G29 do and autoleveling Check the photos, the Y and X carriage its making contact with the endstop switches, and i adjust my tower looking for the hotend and autolevel sensor reach the edge of the hotbed      |

Yea mine looks pretty close i think, it now starts printing, but it wont extrude, only veeeeery partly.Nozzle clocked maybe? and you cant see it almost. also i think the hot bed is sligthly indent in to the mid.
