Hi,
I am not certain if this is the right place to post this in the forum but here goes. I am a newbie when it comes to a desktop 3d plotter
I have an roland mdx-3 which I acquired second-hand. It did not come with the software or manuals. Found the modela player and some information via some japanese pages but it seems that the machine isn't working appropriately or I just haven't set it up appropriately.
When it powers up the power button and view button are on. When I click the view button it goes down to what I assume is the mill start point of the table (bottom left), the led turns off, and then after 1 second it moves back into its original location (top right) and the led turns back on. At times when it goes back to origin, the power button starts to blink. I have tried connecting it via usb and parallel (lpt1) and have not been able to get it to function.
I have no idea how to troubleshoot this or set it up. If anyone has any experience with this machine or ideas on how to test it and/or set this up please let me know. Also any documentation leads would be great. I appreciate any and all help!!!
thanks!
