Sudden loss of power
Hi, I just got my first printer ever. I finished the assembly, made all the connections just as instructed in the guides.
Then I turned the switch on for the first time, and started the calibration process as in the guide. I only selected "Preheat"->ABS and pressed the knob, suddenly I saw a red light flashing once and the printer shut off. I tried turning it on again but it doesn't power up. I even checked the 3 breakers on the Rambo board and they are all intact. Please advise.

Hello, first I need a picture of your connected rambo, so we can check everything is spot on. Then unplug the PSU from rambo an test if it works by itself only. You should also check the fuse inside the power cord socket.

Hello Josef,
first of all, you and your team have done a great job.
Back to my problem, I unplugged all the connectors and found out that the F2 fuse has blown. I kept tracing the problem and found out that I might have switched the locations of the bed and the extruder heaters' sockets on the RAMBO.
I bought new fuses and will connect everything again and try. I will let you know how it goes.
Mohammad.

Ok, so I changed the blown fuse, switched the plugs of the bed and extruder heaters, and it worked.

Now we just need to take care of printing from SD 🙂
