The Geeetech A10M 3D printer has required some finessing to get right. In this video, I present 6 solutions to common problems including: spool holder fix, mainboard fan cover, extruder tensioning, adjusting z leadscrew, working twin filament runout detection and BLtouch/3Dtouch support.

I’ve done all of the hard work for you, by tweaking the Marlin firmware and providing it free of charge for standard and BLtouch versions below.

My preconfigured version of Marlin 1.1.8 based on the Geeetech version. Use at your own risk (having said that it is working for me and I see no reason for concern).
At most you will have to install U8Glib from the Arduino library manager. Select Mega 2560 as board and upload. Downloads are free:
