Brand: Envisiontec (now named \"ETEC\")Model: Perfactory III Mini SXGA+ 3D printerType: PIII.M.E.M.V.S.120S/N: ET.PM.08.04.S041120V/60Hz/5.4AMade in Germany
I am a liquidator. This is from a company/client who supplies me with a lot of their \"no longer needed\" equipment to sell. Their equipment is almost always working. But this 3D printer, when powered on, can not complete its boot up process. It gives an error saying: \"Attention! Handshake between System-PC and Controller failed! Please check the following issues: Controller serial connection, PC Software release, PC system start! If check will be without success, contact Service!\" Upon multiple reboots, it continues to say that same thing. So selling as is.
It does:Power on: (photo #2)Perform attempted boot up (photo #3-#6)\"Input Box\" has bulbs on and displays the number \"11\" (photo #8)Large and small circuit boards both have a couple bulbs on showing electrical flow (photo #9-#11)XY power out panel has \"on\" bulbs on (photo #12)Pushed button on \"Input Box\" and bright internal light came on inside \"black box\" (photo #13)
It doesn\'t:-Complete boot up (photo #7)-Missing one caster (last photo)
Appears to be a communication issue between the controller and circuit board/software or something like that. Maybe it only needs a computer to talk to to finish boot up or maybe a part is broken so it can not do its normal process. No idea. If it is possible to have software to effectively communicate with device, feel free to let me know how to get the software and then I will do a test with that once obtained.
Sold as-is since it can\'t successfully boot up and I don\'t have knowledge to address what I don\'t know.
