I am having trouble getting my cheapo kossel mini printing. I've been through just about everything I can think of aside from switching out the power supply for one with a higher amperage. My problem is when I home all the axis and move the hotend while cold, it works ok. But while heating the hot end, the axis will not move at all. (td) I did manage to kind of get the extruder stepper working (no full revolutions, only jerky movements). I am running everything through a MKS Base V1.0 with 12v 16A (supposedly8-)) power supply. I have tried to adjust the pots on the onboard steppers from 0.4V to 0.9V with no luck. Any input would be appreciated. I have also attached the config.h file in case someone wants to look through it. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,714425,714425#msg-714425 Sun, 09 Aug 2026 09:10:04 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,714425,714683#msg-714683 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,714425,714683#msg-714683 NukaCola Printing Mon, 17 Oct 2016 11:19:53 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,714425,714578#msg-714578 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,714425,714578#msg-714578 the axis untill the hotend has stabalised for about 10 seconds.
Is the hot end reaching the print temperature ?]]> obewan Printing Mon, 17 Oct 2016 05:42:43 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,714425,714499#msg-714499 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,714425,714499#msg-714499 Steppers are held in place with current and you cannot force them to move.

when your printer is in idle, steppers are released after few moments and you can push them around again.]]> Veesta Printing Sun, 16 Oct 2016 20:23:55 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,714425,714425#msg-714425 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,714425,714425#msg-714425 NukaCola Printing Sun, 16 Oct 2016 15:10:17 -0400
