I bought the afinibot printer and haven’t been able to print. When I try it starts to load the file and then goes to the main screen. Has anyone seen this before? Appreciate any help.
Are you using RepetierHost on your computer to generate the gcode and print ?
Once the file is loaded / open in the software, you need to setup and Slice the part. Have you tried that ?
I’m new to 3d printers, not sure what you mean. Ive tried loading the test print from the sd card with the file on it. Am I missing some steps?
The first thing to do is to take a look at the user manuals present on your SD card.
Since you seems to have the printer assembled, go directly to the “How To Slice.pdf” for the RepetierHost software explanation and setup.

Ive attempted to connect my printer to a couple different computers, but they won’t connect. My computers are running windows 10, could that be the issue?
When you open your “Device Manager” with the printer connected, what do you have under “COM” ports ? (a screen capture would help us here)
Have you actually looked in the Device Manager ?
