Re: Printtable - 7 years ago
You need some holes in the coolend fan holder, currently the top two fins are the only ones getting any air flow.by stephenrc - General New Machines Topics
Re: Noob requiring assistance - 7 years ago
Update the firmware & DWC, 1.09 is old. See and Use to setup the config.g and other needed files. The connections on the 085 and Wifi are similar except for the network setup. The configurator web site will get the network setup properly for the board. will help on the connections.by stephenrc - Duet
Re: My Core XY Build - 7 years ago
Push on the belt and get them both to have the same tension. Your belt paths don't look like they are parallel, so the path they travel changes length.by stephenrc - CoreXY Machines
Re: Z-stop fires, without touching it - 7 years ago
Send M119 to see what the endstops are doing.by stephenrc - Reprappers
Re: Need to alternatively power Arduino - 7 years ago
Most likely the 24vdc fried the 5vdc voltage regulator on the Mega. From the symptoms, you need to replace the voltage regulator.by stephenrc - Reprappers
Re: Help With Z-Axis - 7 years ago
QuoteAmericanOtaku44 My Z-axis only controls the Z motor, not the lift of the print head. If it only moves the bed up/down, then that makes sense. The z motor moves the z axis and it either increases/decreases the distance between the hotend and the bed.by stephenrc - Reprappers
Re: Where is the Bearing Case Model File for Wilson TS? - 7 years ago
Quotejcr_tech I've looked in here and could not find it. Printing two of belt-guide-624.stl will get what you want. It's under stl in the github link you provided.by stephenrc - Reprappers
Re: Powering the arduino board - 7 years ago
No, the Due will get its power from the RADDS.by stephenrc - General
Re: adding a laser cutter to a CoreXY - 8 years ago
For building a co2 laser machine, would be a good start. for parts.by stephenrc - Laser Cutter Working Group
Re: NEMA 34 + M543T driver + Ramps 1.4 - 8 years ago
'enable -' should be connected to ground.by stephenrc - Reprappers
Re: Repetier-Host connects to printer -- Repetier-Server won't - 8 years ago
You need to stop Repetier Server before using other programs that need the comport the server is using for the printer.by stephenrc - Repetier
Re: Temp on hotende and bed - 8 years ago
You need to put in a M305 for each of the bed and hotend thermistors. You currently have them commented out.by stephenrc - Printing
Re: New Duet Web Control 1.14 and RepRapFirmware 1.17a-ch - 8 years ago
There's a set of arrows at one corner of the grid, red, green, blue. They start at the origin point.by stephenrc - Duet
Re: DuetWiFi Lash-Up - 8 years ago
RRF does run on the Due, since there is a version for the RADDS.by stephenrc - Developers
Re: New Duet Web Control 1.14 and RepRapFirmware 1.17a-ch - 8 years ago
Doesn't the red arrows in the one corner already do that?by stephenrc - Duet
Re: Ormerod 2 problems - 8 years ago
For 2, someday a slicer will take into account what the plastic does to holes. The work around is to make the holes bigger so that they come out the right size by trial and error.by stephenrc - Ormerod
Re: z wobble, but not bent? - 8 years ago
From what it looks like in the photos of the first post, that bed is swinging in the wind. It needs more than one guide rail or rod keep it from moving.by stephenrc - General
Re: Z switch idea? - 8 years ago
Yes, it's been done before. Problem is the nozzle needs to be clean for it to work properly.by stephenrc - General
Re: EXTENDABLE 3D PRINTER - 8 years ago
It's another printer that fixes a problem no one has, since I've never seen someone say or post "I wish my 3d printer expanded like a dining room table." The expansion should be automated and not require a bed change.by stephenrc - General
Re: Marlin not sending updates to Delta. - 8 years ago
If the EEPROM is enabled, Marlin will use the settings in there and ignore the hardcoded ones. After uploading an updated Marlin, you have to send a M502 followed by a M500 to save the new settings.by stephenrc - Reprappers
Re: RAMPS 1.4 Marlin RC8 CONTROLLERFAN_PIN issue - 8 years ago
D8 isn't the cpu pin number, it's the name of the pin. I believe you need to set CONTROLLERFAN_PIN to 57 and HEATER_BED_PIN to -1, to disable or whatever pin you're using for a heated bed.by stephenrc - Firmware - mainstream and related support
Re: Opinion on motors - 8 years ago
The only problem with those motors is they don't have a shaft, you'll have to supply one. Don't go cheap on the electronics, it's the heart of the printer. You get what you pay for and that ramps probably won't last long, they don't even supply a heatsink on the bed mosfet. Also, the pololu style drivers will not be able to supply much more than an amp to the the motors without overheating. Iby stephenrc - CoreXY Machines
Re: RepRap forums in German - 8 years ago
Upper right, click on Control Center and then on the left, click on Forum Settings.by stephenrc - General
Re: RAMPS 1.4 Marlin RC8 CONTROLLERFAN_PIN issue - 8 years ago
The mosfet controls the ground side of the connection, the + side is always connected.by stephenrc - Firmware - mainstream and related support
Re: New Reprap Printer, Calling it, the KittyCat! - 8 years ago
No problem, your photo makes it easy to see how it works. If you use Misumi's HTJ5 screw, you don't have to do any M5 tapping.by stephenrc - General
Re: Merge rampstest into marline ? - 8 years ago
Get and have fun testing the x,y,&z...by stephenrc - General
Re: New Reprap Printer, Calling it, the KittyCat! - 8 years ago
Quoteo_lampe You've not drawn any corner brackets? You don't need corner brackets, just tap the ends and drill access holes in the other and screw them together, with the screw heads in the slots. The corners will be very solid compared to plastic corners. that's how my corexy is assembled.by stephenrc - General
Re: Marlin Firmware - Extruder stepmotor speed - 8 years ago
In the latest RC8 & RCBugfix they're in configuration.h in the Movement Settings section which is right after the endstop section.by stephenrc - Firmware - experimental, borrowed, and future
Re: Auto bed level unstable - 8 years ago
Your endstops are 'moving'. Losing steps on the motors. Loose screw on one or more pulleys. For the ir sensor, bed surface not reflecting ir consistently. Tilting of the effector.by stephenrc - Firmware - Marlin
