Not sure if this is the best place for this, but since it's well after 5PM in the UK, I'm posting here instead of just sending it to RepRapPro support.
So we finished building our Mendel 3 as a mono, did some test prints (they came out remarkably well!), and are ready to update it to full Tricolour status. Unfortunately, there are three issues that I'm not sure how to deal with from the instructions provided:
1. Connection for second cooling fan
The wiring diagram here (
https://reprappro.com/documentation/multi-materials/electronics/, specifically [
reprappro.com]) doesn't specify where to connect the 2nd set of fans. It was pretty self-evident how to deal with the 2nd hot-end fan, but the obvious place for the 2nd cooling fan doesn't seem to work (it won't seem to turn on, no matter what I do.)
2. Configuration for tool 127
The page here (https://reprappro.com/documentation/multi-materials/commissioning/) mentions:
M563 P127 H1 D0:1:2:3:4 ; Tool 127 allows the web interface to control all drives and heaters
Now, due to the description 'all drives and heaters', I would have expected this to be "H1:2:3". However, I'm not certain under which circumstances that tool 127 is actually used, so I can't speak for certain.
3. X offset calibration
On the same page as the one mentioning 127, it says to "configure the X offset" but there's no guidance I can find on how to appropriately calibrate this.
