Almost There...
December 11, 2012 10:21PM
Well my tantillus is fully built and last night I got it running but I'm having some problems. The biggest being that while printing everything will be working fine for the beginning of the print and then it will just start wandering off. I printed a test cube and it printed the perimeter and half the fill and then started over stepping. then when it got to the next perimeter it did fine. At that point though it was knocking against the edge of the printer so I stopped it before I could see what it was going to do next. Here is a picture of what the print looked like: [secure.flickr.com] . Any help and advice would be great. Thanks!

A few things to check.

1) Gears loose on the shafts.

2) Current too low on stepper driver.

3) Need lubrication on smooth rods.
