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!

You can try new dc42 calculator to improve your height map [escher3d.com]
But it's pain to use 20mm and more offset probe for that, probably paper test measurements will work better.

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.
Yes, to minimize damage for beginners.

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.

Connect your printer to Repetier Host and use Config->Firmware Eeprom menu to adjust these most important for calibration variables.
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)?

80steps=1mm, so yes.

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.

Endstop offset = Tower endstop offset
Z-probe and tower offsets you will find in Option->Firmware Eeprom menu.

I had same delays. They issue tracking number almost immediately and change status to Fulfilled. Then they may "fulfill" it 2-3 weeks.

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.

They are not big company, so probably they don't keep all parts in stock and restock/print them as soon as they receive orders.

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.
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.

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?

Sounds like you have the sensor in the firmware set wrong.
Whats your temp setting in your firmware?

Canadian here, mine comes tomorrow.
Which shipping option did you choose?
How much did you have to pay in import taxes?

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.
I just re-did my arms. The Rev A. called for 230mm end to end which was frustratingly short. The thing to do is to assemble the frame and measure from one tower at the bottom of your travel to the far opposite side of the bed. Subtract out your effector and truck offsets, and that will give you an arm long enough to reach anywhere on your bed.
I'll measure my new rods when I get home but if memory serves they ended up about 260 end to end, but that's on a rev A with linear sliders so your numbers will be different.
Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
