@mpirringer
Thank you so much for the help!
I had to switch the baud rate in the printer settings and it worked perfectly!
Again, Thank you!

@mpirringer
How would I find the correct baud rate?

Hello!
I just reset my computer because it was lagging, and now MatterControl will not connect to my Anet A8. I've tried reflashing Marlin, restarting the computer, MatterControl, and the printer multiple times but nothing seems to work. I'll link my Marlin file down below, can someone please help me so I can 3D print stuff again?

Hello,
My issue is that when I print with my blue PLA, I can see these small half-blue half-black balls on my prints, and I'm not sure what to do about these little things. Can you tell me what they are and how to make them not show up?
Thanks,
Jason

Hello Mattercontrol,
So I was assembling the extruder that came with the anet a8. While I was working on it the spring launched off and now we can't find it. Im not sure what kind of spring im looking for, but I need a new one.
Thanks for your help,
Jason

Yeah uhh,
I'm sorry I haven't posted on here, see my dad is leaving soon and I'm trying to get as much time with him as I can, do you mind just coming back here when you get the notification?
Thanks again for helping,
Jason
