No, haven't got it and the makers site may as well be the install
boilerplate, nothing is available under the support button, and the
email address, while valid, is not accepting email, I have at least 5
bounces because it was undeliverable. IOW, I got screwed for another
$400 again. Dremel has no support for their digilab stuff and I bought
thier best at $1900. So its out of the way and my ender 3 is back on the
table. Its sorta working, but this printer has about 4x the working
volume of an ender 3.
I've looked up the codes and written a 30 line program that may help
troubleshhot, when I have both eyes open at the same time much later
today.
The power supply is good, but its not now heating anything and throwing
errors 4 and 5 because of that. OOTB, it worked once but didn't make a
good print because the Z offset was about 3 or 4mm below the bed. If I
could log into it with cutecom or such, I might be able to get a little
shmartder ;-)
Thanks Mirco Piccin.
