CTC Prusa i3 Pro B First configuration and test print

- After the complete assembly in the 2 videos that I uploaded previously, we got a 3d printer in theory fully functional, and in this video we are going to turn it on for the first time, check if it works, and prepare it for the first print, with the basic adjustments necessary to get a decent print.
For that we will download Ultimaker Cura and we will create a 3d printer in the software that matches our CTC Prusa i3.
At the end of the video we have discovered our first 2 problems with the Chinese 3d printer, the lack of layer fan and the excess of vibrations. We will solve this problems in the next episode.

Thank you so much for this, I'd got to this point and couldn't find any instructions. This is well described and clear. Wonderful.
Thanks for reminding me how to bed level. I'd forgotten that I FIXED the levelling screw into position on the left side of the printer and added a cylindrical block to the lower half of that adjustment screw so that I could turn the block (raising/lowering it) such that it quickly and easily adjusts when it hits & triggers the endstop. That's the adjustment mechanism the manufacturer should've used. I would start with all 4 bed screws at MID POINT position, use the adjustable mechanism on the left side of the printer to get 1 perfect then adjust the other 3 accordingly. Another mechanism is to fully tighten all 4 bed screws and use a spirit level to get it level then use eg. CURA Machine Settings "G1 Z15.0 F6000 ;Move the platform down 15mm" to tune the extruder's "landing position".
I had a CTC DIY printer given to me. I followed the hints in this video and my print of 3D Benchy worked first time. Quality was pretty good.
Nicely done. Simple and straight forward. Thank you for posting.
thanks for your comment Marlon! =)
Awesome video, i have the i3 pro x and i have everything built, x and y axis both work, z axis motors move but do not turn the threaded rods, might have to try out what u did by cutting the top pieces of the wood and connecting the motors to the threaded rods another way. This video motivates me to continue working with it to get it working!
Thanks for this video, I needed some directions
You are welcome! :)
Thank you. Hopefully my next print will be better with ur vid.
I hope so Marc! Good luck! and please if you can, share the video so everyone can get help as well :)
@@architects3dp nice one. Had a quick play this morning with my new knowlodge. But think now found issue. When i try n do that bit when it feeds its self. So steady steam thru nozzel. I have to push on the filament a bit constently and then seems to flow fine. When stop pushing it. The extruder just seems to click and i can feel the filamemt being pulled and pushed a little. Project for when home me thinks.
oh man, thanks you so much!!! i needed this
You are welcome Exequiel! enjoy it! ;D
great mate very good thanks a lot !
GOOD VIDEO. I think the quality of PLA I'm using is no good though. The bow of my boat came out rough.
hI THIS IS VERY HELPFUL! I was wondering if you can help me as my bed does not move AT ALL.. when I tried to do the auto rehome, it just vibrates with a lot of noise and don't move.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
you are welcome Ryan! :) :)
Very good job my friend..
SUBSCRIBED =)
thank you!! :)
Hi, thanks for this video! I have problems when I try to load the filament. When I move the extruder axis, the filaments gets dragged in at first, but after a little you can hear a clicking sound and the filament stops advancing. By looking through the coil in the extruder, I can see the gear that advances a little and then suddenly getting back. How can I solve this? Thank you in advance!
Solved: I disassembled the extruder, and noted that the filament didn't find the exit after the gear. But now I have another problem: I tried to print the 3DBenchy too, but during the printing the layers slided a lot on axis Y, so I had to stop the printing. How can I fix this? Thank you
Hi. This video are very cool and did help me. Can you tell me how to adjust motion parameters to print with more precision? I primted a cube with 20 mm and i got 19.8 x 19.5 x 20.0 mm solid. I had a prusa i3 DIY from CTC.
Thanks so much for your comment Jose,
you have to adjust it from the firmware of the 3D Printer (Marlin).
You can check the programming of my custom Architects3DP i3 in the next link, so you can have an idea.

Buenas tardes, muy buen vídeo. Tengo el siguiente problema, igual que en el vídeo me indica bed heating, pero no se calienta, se queda en la temperatura ambiente/70, en cambio el extrusor si que se calienta correctamente. ¿A que puede ser debido?, muchas gracias.
Comprueba las conexiones de la resistencia de la cama con la placa, comprueba también que esté en el puerto correcto, y que en cura en machine settings tengas marcado el tick de la cama caliente 👍
hola, te consulto, mi impresora arranca pero se sale de los margenes de impresión, por que pasa esto?
Que debo realizar para que la cama caliente me tome el punto cero atrás? si la cama se encuentra adelante, no logro que vaya sola atrás en una impresión
Ciao Matteo mi sono iscritto da poco al tuo canale perché ho acquistato una Prusa i3 pro B. Posso chiederti di alternare ai video in inglese anche video in cui tu spieghi le cose in italiano? Perché i sottotitoli di youtube traducono male le parole e io l'inglese non lo conosco molto bene. Se potresti farmi questo favore a me o a chi come me, beh penso che te ne saremmo grati, grazie :)
Ciao Team Fox, I'm sorry but I can't speak italiano :S
My printer came with just a wooden bed with masking tape strips on it. Is it necessary to add a pane of glass and if so what thickness do I need?
Maybe you should ask CTC for a better answer..
@@architects3dp Nice video but that comment was not helpful! :-(
I’m sorry man.. I don’t really have any Idea 😅
What size filament do you use
can you convert it to am8?
Hi, I assembled it. but no life after trying to control nozzle or axis. can you help me?
I need help. One of the wires connecting the extruder to the mother board broke (The soft, red wire) and I'm not sure how to attach it back on. Any advice so I don't fry myself?
Hello RepyClub_ , I would buy a new heater for the hot-end. They are quite cheap. Check out here: amzn.to/31OhK5F
@@architects3dp Thank you
Hello friend, I have a problem in my prusa i3 prob. when I move the z-axis, the motors are tied and make a noise (trac trac trac). Could you give me some solution? Please
Hi Exequiel, make sure your bridge is perfectly horizontal. Check it with the frame on top of the printer. Once is perfectly leveled, try the axis. If still not working, maybe you have to increase the voltage by turning the screw in the pololu for the z axis. I hope it helped. let me know if you fixed the problem =)
Where do you get the driver for this?
thank you... does anyone else show this config setup online? i havent seen one?
merci beaucoup
What your axis steps set to
Ciao, ho problema, quando inserisco la scheda sd, questa mi viene riconosciuta ma appena apro il menù mi compare la scritta "No SD card found", come posso risolvere?
Hey you can try formatting the card in different formats
My temperature won't rise past 25? And the auto home won't work either?
happened to me, are u sure the green cable on motherboard is connected
8.17 I have n got z axis
how? :O
Marlin Code was arguably 'sabotaged' for certain control boards by Z_STEPS_PIN edited to Z_STEPS PINN in PINS.H which I believe is why there is no LCD control over the Z Motors - however - you have full control through CURA, but, if buying this machine today they send you a box saying to install v14.0 which is neither included nor available through CURA website; v14.3.7? doesn't work but v3.4.1 automatically installs correct Drivers and the Open Source Host software works completely via USB OR SD card.
Hi, my printer does not stop the motors once it hits the switches does anyone know why?
Hey!! First of all check the connections of the cables both in the endstops and motherboard
Thank you, that solved it, great video.
@@a.s.j.g6229 I'm happy that the solution worked! :) thanks!! :)
@@architects3dp Thank you so much!!!!
im planning to buy this and convert to am8...much cheaper than anet a8
I think the only change will be more or less the material of the frame.. isn’t it?
my printer keeps autohoaming outside the printbed
What is the meaning of ctc in printing?
Cool to cut
Después de un buen rato viendo el vídeo y sospechando por tu acento de que sabías hablar español, veo que pone en el Mac "Archivo/edición" jajaja
xD este es uno de los primeros videos del canal.. te recomiendo que mires los nuevos jaja
Gli architetti sono il culo degli ingegneri
That’s a good one! Haha 🤣
Lo podías haber hecho en castellano, chachis de birra
Jejej a la prox
Hi, You have a strong accent! Please get rid of the background music it's hard to understand you.
Hello Ray! yes, that was one of my first videos, I'm aware of that and tried to improve it in the next ones :)
"For the bed, the diameter is 1.75"
...if your heating bed has a diameter you should seek professional help.
nozzle diameter :P
No te hagas el Yankee si hablas español hace un tutorial de cómo usarla en español
si?
