HICTOP PRUSA i3

[kheston]

I cannot figure out which flavor of controller board my red mpx.3 is either.

Tom's Guide has a tutorial about how one can set up a proximity sensor for use with an aluminum heat bed, but I'm hesitant to flash my firmware with the required changes without knowing specifically what board I have.

Is this similar to yours @GATJ ?

I'm having good luck with the printer as well, btw.

I am also having some major difficulties with my hitch prusa i3 printer. Whenever I try to print, the temperature starts dropping fast and before long, it is not hot enough to extrude. This is after thousands of other problems with my machine. Help anyone??

I got one of these and built it last week (3DP-11). The firmware supplied was no good. I found a good link on reprap.org forums regarding firmware for this printer and have gotten it to work. Have you had any luck yet? Is your power supply 24 volts? They made that change and didn't calibrate the firmware to account for that I think. Basically they ruined their product with an "improvement". I'd be happy to help, I haven't heard from their tech support either. Not good. Previous reviews said they were responsive, but perhaps they don't know the fixes necessary.

YES! I am trying to post the pic of mine in here but it's not letting me. I hope I'm not spamming trying multiple times but it's their i3 standard board!
