I need help with cura on the 101hero pylon 3d printer and how to set it up to detect the printer. please help!

I do not have an opinion on the extruder yet.
The stepper motors look like small geared stepper motors and are probably slow or they are actually brushed motors with some sort of closed loop position sensing. I doubt there is new technology involved here, but there is a project out that hopes to make an old technology much cheaper. The video suggests a slower print than I am used to, but it might work for some.
The frame would be sturdier if there were some cross pieces between the towers or if the base and ceiling had a bend on the edges.
What mm/s does this printer print at?
Heated bed or cold bed? It looks like a cold bed, but you say it will print ABS.
If you include at least cheap thin plastic for a 3-4 inch wall on the bottom of the printer, it will improve ABS printing some.
Can you use the gcode files as produced by Cura and other typical 3D printing software?
nvm I figured out the problem thank you but the current problem and thanks for the advice.
And then I figure out that I am too tired and thought this was a new product. (face palm)
its fine, I recently got into 3d printing thanks though.
@Andy_Cho My apologies for being a bit tired and commenting nonsense on your post. Congrats on figuring out the solution by yourself.
If you can tell me if it is a hot or cold bed, that will help with some of my curiosity about the printer.
Thank you for that and it is a cold bed (that broke during shipping).
Broken glass?
ya
taped it together and it works now.
I wish you luck with the ABS printing on a cold bed. I really do not know what to think of an ABS printer with a cold bed. I wonder if they meant you can print ABS after upgrades of the heating bed.
it is made for both and I don’t have abs so there is going to be a long time before that problem is confronted thank you for your concern.
If it turns out that I am right and this does need more structural integrity, try something like this item (link) drilled and screwed to the base and ceiling plates. It should stiffen it up some, I think.Of course, I am not exactly a 3D printer designer like some of these guys and the simple adjustment might make it a bit more expensive. An alternative would be pieces of wood on the other side of the bottom.

this printer ist not meant for ABS. It is for PLA. And the motors are just 0,99 Cent geared motors. I received mine with two broken motors (the gears are made from cheap plastic).
