Got two problems with the printer right now.
the filament feed is very unreliable. it frequently tears the filament apart such that it will no longer feed.
this later caused a clog that I took apart the volcano hot end to fix. after reassembly i noticed that the end temp was -14C this was easily fixed by adjusting a screw I over torqued. but now when heating if the heat goes above ~50C it will shut down and restart the boot process repeatedly until the hot end cools down.

Good morning all! II am new to using a forum so please forgive me if I'm in the wrong area. I really need help with an aftermarket BL Touch probe I installed on my Tevo Tarantula pro. eEverything seems to be in working order. After bed leveling, as soon as I start to print, the nozzle if about 5 mm away from the print surface. I have tried everything I know to adjust in the firmware, but apparently I'm missing something!! PLEASE HELP,...

My name is Joe, and I am extremely new to the world of 3D printing! The first printer I decided to buy is a Tevo Tarantula pro. It is a kit that I had to build from scratch. I chose to build a printer from scratch so I could learn the inner workings a 3D printer. Unfortunately I am having some issues with a BL touch auto bed leveling probe, which has led me here. This is the first forum I have ever been a part of, but am at my wits end and don't know where else to turn....
