Please help a noob with his Da Vinci 1.0a 3D Printer
I was recently gifted a Da Vinci 1.0a 3D printer. I found out the company is no long in business and came across the instructions to flash it to repeatier firmware.
After a few attempts I finally got it to flash and connect up to my repeatier server and host software.
I configured my slicer based on this video

I'm using the abs 1.75mm white filiment that came with the printer from xyzprinting
I'm at 230c for filiment and 90c for bed
I can manually load and unload filiment.
If I run the gcode to advance filiment 10mm at f100 it comes out no problem.
I've cleaned the head.
I've leveled the bed
Before I flashed it I successfully printed the 3 demo pieces that were on the SD card that comes in the system.
But now for the life of me, I cannot get the damn thing to print nothing.
It goes about like it's printing it, sometimes a little bit of something that I think is filiment is present on the bed but for the most part it does nothing but dance around.
It runs through the slicer, I get what looks like good gcode. It's got all the movements and stuff. I can share the gcode if someone wants to see it.
I've tried looking to see if I can find a setting for dry run but I didn't see that anywhere.
I am seeking the help of anyone who has experience with these printers and can help me get the thing printing. I've been going at this for like 3 days now lol
