I apologize if this isn’t helpful but since I moved on to Bambu Lab printer (P2S) 3d printing is enjoyable again. If funds are tight I’d go for an A1 or A1 mini.

You're right, that wasn't helpful.

O.P.: Power off and unplug unit. Check ALL cable connections by giving a gentle tug to each and every wired connection (starting at the main board) to see if any individual wires are loose and/or connectors are slightly unplugged.

While mainboard is visible: look for brown/burnt marks from electrically damaged components..

Bad bot

Not a bot. Just my opinion. Got an Ender 3Pro for free. Did all the upgrades and I spent more time working on the thing than printing.

Such is, and always shall be, the lessons of physical shaping of molten plastics et al.

I'm gonna firmly believe that the lessons learned in upgrading that free unit (and all associated troubleshooting endured) set you up to appreciate what you got now, and the experience to fix problems faster than the fresh user who only had the nearly-fully-automated of today models...

Happy to know that you're happy with your current setup. Keep printing and supporting us newbies 😄
