IT WORKED! THANKS SOO MUCH!
I printed half of a boat (I had to Emergency Stop halfway through because it bumped it out of place)
And I printed a COMPLETE Weighted Companion cube!

Thanks again!

So that issue seems to have stopped. All motors now move, yay. When I home it, it goes really slow though, any ideas as to why?

Check your homing feedrate in eeprom.
It was set to 2mm/s. Changed it to 30mm/s for now. Thank you very much.

Hey Paul_delta,
I'm using your Repetier FW, and was wondering if you could help me get the initial configuration done. Which variable to change for height, rod length, etc. PM if you wish, or post here. Thanks for your help.

Pay attention to endstops, they are in steps, not in mm. So, if you need to adjust X tower endstop for 0.5mm to level your bed, you need to enter 40 there (80 steps * 0.5):

So if I need to adjust it by 2mm, then it'd be 160 (80*2)?

Paul-delta, could you explain how to find out the Horizontal Rod Radius? Also, how does one figure out the endstop offset?
EDIT: I also don't see a spot to input the probe offset.

Anyone buy in the last few months? What was shipping time like? I ordered on 12/15 and still no movement with UPS tracker. Folger Tech website shows paid & fulfilled, any info would be appreciated.

I just bought one last night and got a UPS shipping notification this afternoon. Estimating a 12 day delivery time. Thought that was a little odd seeing as they are not THAT far away. Now I see that might be pretty realistic.

Thanks paul_delta for the info. Captain_Tim I sort of figured, but I know I saw a review on their facebook page where a guy said he got it in 3 days, so I was hoping for a little luck.

Well I have finished my build and moved on to calibration. I downloaded Repetier to try and get things going. Right off the bat my LCD screen is saying MINTEMP and when I try to do anything in Repetier it says the printer stopped due to errors. The extruder temp is reading as zero as well, so does this mean the sensor is broken? The bed temp is reading. Any help would be appreciated!

Check your wiring to make sure that you connected thermistor to the right pin. You may try to swap the bed and extruder thermistor connectors to check if extruder thermistor pin can read the bed temp. Test your thermistor with multimeter. The resistance will change if you will warm it in your hand - from around 100k Ohm to 60k Ohm (25C to 36C).

I swapped the connectors and now the bed temperature is reading as zero so I know it's not the thermistor. How do I go about finding the problem if it's in the board?

I got mine in about a week. I was very pleased, considering how everyone had to wait quite awhile. I live in Canada too, so it was a further journey.

New owner of a FT Kossel here. Read through the entire 81 pages.
Was there a concensus on the length of the diagonal rods that allows a good compromise between width and height?
The rev.b manual mentions 240mm total length.
