Re: Error trying to upload Marlin - 8 years ago
Ah, I had the same issue with this board, I tried to old trick of pressing and holding the reset button until the arduino IDE said it was uploading then I let go. This worked after a couple tries. Another thing I tried was going to an older version of arduino, very old. I think it was build 22 this worked as well?by fazz33 - General
Re: Kossel Level Issue - 8 years ago
I believe there was a setting in the configuration file to augment the "flatness" of the movement it is "DELTA_RADIUS". Mine did the same thing until I tweaked it. Some very fine tweaking of that parameter and careful visual confirmation is how I got mine to level properly. When you do change it make sure to do your testing like 10-20mm above the plane at the printer's center and always travel sby fazz33 - General
Re: Anyone interested in starting a stepper motor salvage database? I'll be the first to start the list! - 8 years ago
Ah, ok. I'll proceed with caution. At any rate! It's NEW MOTOR TIME! Again another Mitsumi. I haven't tried this one but it is similar to the others. It is beefier though so I imagine more torque at 24V. 5) Machine: Samsung ML-2010 Motor: Mitsumi M55SP-2NK, It's a Bi-polar Stepper, 4 pin, 24V, has a fan attached to the shaft. Here's some info on a variant of it the M55SP-2K (No N) . Aby fazz33 - General

Oh, that's an awesome idea, do you know of any guides out there for how to do this? I've never opened up a stepper yet. I probably should now that I have a bag full of tiny scanner driving stepper motors. Cheersby fazz33 - General

Haha do it! There are many useful parts in a lot of older even some new Laser printers, I got all my limit switches from them! Anyways another Mitsumi! Again it's a bit slow but I'm actually using this to drive the Z-Axis so I find it acceptable. It's 7.5 Degree steps isn't great but it's acceptable when coupled with a threaded rod. 5) Machine: Lexmark E210 Motor : M49SP-1, Another 4 pin Biby fazz33 - General

Ok new to the list, It's not a NEMA standard but it should get an honorable mention because they are beefy! They are a bit slow so if you are planning a conventional build probably best to use them only for Z drivers (I'm using them otherwise because I wanted to try) 4) Machine: Hp Laserjet 1012/1015/1018/1020 Motor: Mitsumi M49SP-2K, It's a 4 pin Bi-polar. It's actually a 24V motor but it runsby fazz33 - General

Hello hello, I've seen old posts before about building a list of machines that contain useful motors. I also saw there use to be a site that did that but it seems it is dead now and that's sad because I'm currently in the process with fiddling with salvaged parts to make a large volume RAMPS controlled generic printing machine. I know most people are interested only in NEMA standard motors whiby fazz33 - General
