I can't seem to get past the test files part of printing. I have tried Windows 10 and downgraded to Windows 7 because I can't get the 3d Printer to recognize my computer. Even though it came with .DLL files to install drivers etc whenever I go into Device Manager I can't find "Unknown Devices" to install the proper drivers. Does anybody know a way around this to install unkown drivers to recognize my printer at all?? Or any advice? Thanks in advance! =)
Did you install the Mega 2560 (FTDI USB) drivers?
Do not run on USB. Use SD card.
This, when you attach your computer to it you drastically increase the amount of things that can go wrong.Quote:

what slicer are you using ?
try installing makerware - as it installs a whole bunch of driver files at the same time.
Haven't tried it on win10 yet - but I will at some point.
I'm using Makerware on a laptop with Windows 10. The drivers weren't signed, but approving them let it connect to my Monoprice dual extruder printer with no problem.Quote:

Yeah, but with anything you should start simple first and then add capability little by little.Quote:

resolution not an issue.
But plug and play - doesn't actualy exist yet.
machines like the cel robox are close. but you'll still have to learn something about how a 3d printer works.
