Hi everybody. Here's a video of what happens with the Sintron supplied rods, the ends rub against each other -> Click here. Sintron support insists that they don't interfere.
Those steel rods have a lot of play, they're not as stiff as the carbon tube + traxxas ends, wich i recently switched to.
Yep thats the sintron rods. Its been discussed here before. Some people have made sintron mail them new rods. But I just opted to buy the traxxas rods and put them on.

Yes, they also sent me STL files. They promised to investigate the problem. I wish the didn't use those rods anymore, for future clients. It wasted a lot of my time, until i was convinced that they are not better than traxxas with carbon rods. Compared to the steel rods, the carbon fiber ones are solid like a rock and no rubbing.
I finally managed to print a 20x20mm hollow cube, but the print quality isn't that great. I have no idea where to start tweaking. I used a glue stick to make the first layer adhesion better.
Also, i'm thinking of switching to repetier, seems a lot better made than marlin. Has anyone else installed repetier on their Sintron printer?

I have to agree with "what are the diagonal stripes" question. I think you doubled up on the blue tape where the wrench handle is. This makes the z height taller than the rest of the bed? From the picture it looks like you partially taped vertically then in some areas diagonally. But not really sure. Either way your bed isnt level.Quote

My problem is that my motors are making some strange noises. They groan, they whistle and the Y axis clicks.
When I use the manual controls in pronterface, the motors move sort of right (although most of the time they are noisy), but when the axis stop the motors don't.
By that I mean the power does not shut off to the motors and they start whistling, then the Y axis starts clicking and trying to move.
I haven't got a clue what's wrong.

On another note, when I use G28 in pronterface, my printer homes with all 3 axis but they don't come back down enough to release the stop switches, anyone know why ?

This is a shot of the slic3r setting screen DropboxQuote

The default setting in Slic3r AFAIK, is to go to z40mm, after it heats the bed.

Try sending m666 x2 y2 z2 and then g28 to try it out. What this does is home until endstops are triggered and then move down 2 mm.

Why is it that every time I try to start a print, the bed heats up ok, then the print head drops to (Slic3r is set to) 50mm and heats up fine.
then every time the print head moves to the top right corner, the X axis comes down as far as it can go (this pushes the head over the edge of the bed) and then the Z axis drops to.......... it wants to go below the bed level but I press stop as soon as the tip drops below the side edge.
I'm so close to that first print and I just don't know how to fix this.
I have even downloaded a 20mm test cube and tried the gcode that came with it, but my printer still does the same thing.
That makes me think it is in the firmware somewhere, but there is nothing that tells the head to go to that position.
Nearly there, hopefully someone can tell me what's wrong or missing or needs (re)moving.
You guys have helped me loads so far, keep up the good work and keep helping, Please.

So my Sintron Kossel cracked. I was auto leveling the bed and for some reason it decided to ram itself into the glass bed. I hit stop. But I heard something snap. I looked and couldnt find the issue. I tried to auto level and noticed the z side was messed up. I looked at the upper corner frame and the Z corner cracked. For now I have tightened the screw as much as possible but its still loose. I can print but not that well. I have ordered aluminum corners. Soon to be delivered. So another list in my Sintron upgrades. One of the only things left are the E3D hotend replacement and upgrading to a metal effector.
Upgrades now:
Changed from Ramps 1.4 to duet 0.6
Changed from Sintron Rods to Traxxas carbon rods
Changed from Sintron carriages to ABS molded carriages and wheels
Changed Sintron Gt2 belts to aftermarket Gt2 belts
Plastic Sintron Printed Frame corners to aluminum machined corners.
Analog Z probe to Dc42 IR probe
LCD 2004 by Sintron to PanelDUE by dc42 touch screen
Upgrades to Go:
Metal effector
New hotend?
Metal effector bottom plate
