motor issues
August 25, 2014 08:45PM
I'm building my first printer, and I've had just about every issue in the book, but one I can't seem to solve.

Rostock - RAMPS 1.4, NEMA 17 motors, using Marlin-delta

When I home the thing, it moves up but makes a lot of noise before travel starts. To get to the top, I need to home several times. My Z motor seems to not want to go up after I've run it a while. Just sending a "go up/down on Z 10 mm" command works perfectly. When I have no power, the print-head moves smoothly.

Oddly enough, (and maybe a config issue) when I move the print-head along the x or y to about 140 mm it moves and then starts to drop along the z axis all the way down.


My main issue is the motors making all that noise before they begin to move, and not homing all the way. Is it possible I have wired one of the coils wrong on the motors?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

list your configuration. also have you checked your limit switches, and disabled the software max, and enabled the software min limits.

are you sure the motors are on correct axis, order of motors play an important part in the motion of the delta machine.

test the limit switches by sending gcode command M119. this will give you status of the switch state.
after verifying axis and labeling it do a home on each individual axis. this way you know the axis and its limit switch. be prepared to power off and reset if axis is not correct.


make sure homing is in correct direction, and that all motors are the same direction.

homing should be to the top if standard [reprap.org]

I have had better luck with rostocks using reptier firmware as it was designed to work with delta bots. marlin firmware works but it is a hack of sorts. I do like marlin firmware and its methods of velocity acceleration and buffering, but repetier firmware seems to work naturally with delta bots.

also what program are you using to control the printer? make sure it is setup for rostock. repetier host and cura have settings built in. recommended homing method is g28, and not individual axis.

As for motor order, I do not know what order it should be, but in a three motor system it is just not possible to order them differently. XYZ = ZYX = YXZ = YZX = ZXY = XZY
Ill check the states of the limit switches as soon as I can

motor x,y,z are motor motions that are linear, but in functional space of the delta system motion is not the same for each motor. you have the motors motion and then you have the axis motion of x,y,z in 3d space.

actually there is a difference such as the calculation of difference on y and z when x moves up y is ~2/3 and z is ~1/3 . order is very important to keep turret head in absolute position along z axis

homing control of individual axis do not currently go thru the conversion to delta kinematics. this is why homing of an individual axis should tell you witch one is which. you can do xyz, yzx, or zxy. this would just change the direction of x/y on bed, and possibly invert the part being printed. best bet is to know off hand what axis should be what.

this image is labeled.
