hello,I purchased the sunhokey , I am very new to 3d printers this is my first one. I built it with no problems, now I am having it up and running , I loaded the Repetier host v.1.0.6 and it connects. but I can not get it to do anything, I tried to preheat the bed and the excruder but they won't preheat? is there anything else I need to do to get this working? the printer came with mks gen-2z v1.1 board/controller. do I need to load the Repetier firmware or something else? can you tell me where I can get more start-up info.?I also tryed to run the 10x10x10 test cube with the Repetier...the motors move a little bit but...nothing happens.I can move the motors X,Y and Z with the LCD/control,but I also can not start the preheat funtion with the LCD/controler?
