    Hello and Help - I3 MK3 Clone

    Hello, new to these forums but have been watching videos on 3D printers for years now and always wanted to build on. Over the last year I've been gathering parts together to make my own I3 MK3 clone after watching Thomas Sanladerer's I3 Dolly videos.

    As things had moved on since he made the videos I decided to try and make an MK3 clone complete with MK52 heated bed, 24V power supply, Pinda2 clone probe and a cloned Einsy Rambo board all bought through Amazon or Ali Express.


    The good news is, it didn’t blow up when I turned it on! The bad news is, I can seem to flash the board with Prusa firmware and the LCD screen doesn’t display but occasionally makes some beeping sounds. I keep getting errors through PrusaSlicer... not being too familiar with the software/firmware side of things I would appreciate any help or being pointed in the right direct to try and get this pile of parts printing

    The below is pretty much what I am getting.

    I will admit to knowing almost nopthing about firmware setup - but looking at the board: Atmega2560 and Atmega32u2
    could it be you need to use the 32bit atmega32u2 rather than the 8bit atmega 2560 ?

    Also with firmware setups I'e found the trickiest bit is getting the bloody thing to recognise the screen. You generally need to download a specific library to ide and tell it precisely which screen you are using.

    If it's neither of those - then I got nothing :-)
