    If you mean the hotend fan, that is a problem. If you mean the parts cooling fan that may be normal. The slicers turn that on/off as needed. Either way the heater core should be getting power :)

    I'm having issues trying to flash the v2 firmware. In the zip file there are 2 .ino files. Marlin and robo3dv2.

    Use the Robo one, but you may have the compiler issue with a struct definition in later versions of the Arduino compiler. If so, use the two files attached (put them with the others before you compile -- over-write the existing ones)

    I will definitely give it another try with these files. I tried for what seemed like forever last night to upload. Ill post the outcome when I get home from work. I really appreciate the help and professionalism from the members in this forum...

    Here's an update. I haven't uploaded the v2 firmware as of yet. I wanted to try and use cura instead of MC. I press preheat for the extruder, and the bed heats up. I press preheat for the bed, nothing happens. I switched the extruder, and the hotbed on the arduino and get the exact same result..... Any ideas on that?

    I have everything almost worked out. Heater core had bad wiring from the factory so I rewired it and working fine. LCD is working great, was able to upload the v2 firmware. The only issue that seems to be left is..... The Y axis seems to be going in the wrong direction. When I auto home, it shoots out to the front, keeps trying to go and the belt is getting eaten alive underneath

    Check the configuration.h for the Y axis.

    #define MANUAL_Y_HOME_POS 0

    and

    #define INVERT_X_DIR true //for Mendel set to false,for Orca set to true
    #define INVERT_Y_DIR false //for Mendel set to true, for Orca set to false
    #define INVERT_Z_DIR true //for Mendel set to false, for Orca set to true


    That or you have the stepper motor wired/plugged in backwards :)
    The 4-wire steppers used will actually reverse direction if you flip the four-wire connector backwards
