am trying to start printing, but i am having a few flaws. I tried to print an iphone 4s case, but the z axis wouldn't move uo and it just printed along the x and y axis for longer than it should have. Here is the link And here are some picsby printer_man58 - Reprappers
I fixed this problem i just hadn't positioned it correctly. Thanks to all those who helped!by printer_man58 - Reprappers
Thanks I'll try those and update on what happens.by printer_man58 - Reprappers
My Z axis set at zero, but i don't no how to calibarate my extruder and should I just put hairspray on it or use something else? Thanksby printer_man58 - Reprappers
I am trying to print for the very first time, but whenever i try to print, the PLA plastic lifts off the heatbed and clumps together on the extruder. I have the temp. on my heatbed at 75 degrees and i have tried 60 degrees, but both those temps. don't work. Any help would be appreciated.by printer_man58 - Reprappers
Are you talking about the screws that have a spring over it to add to the pressure because i have screwed that in pretty tight.by printer_man58 - Reprappers
I have a mendelmax 1.5 and a budaschnozzle 2.0. I have been able to push it down manually, so I know there is no jamming of the plastic.by printer_man58 - Reprappers
Thanks to everybody for all the help! I just fixed it.by printer_man58 - Reprappers
I am almost ready To start my first print. The only problem is that the plastic won't come out of the extruder. Everything is heating up properly, but nothing is being extruded. I am fairly sure It is tight enough to extrude ( not too tight though). I was wondering if there could be a problem with the hobbed bolt? Thanksby printer_man58 - Reprappers
Thanks. Are you talking about the polulu stepper driver or the actual wires?by printer_man58 - Reprappers
In my extruder the gears move in the wrong direction which makes the plastic not extrude. Is there a way in the marlin code that allows me to change my gear direction. // For Inverting Stepper Enable Pins (Active Low) use 0, Non Inverting (Active High) use 1 #define X_ENABLE_ON 0 #define Y_ENABLE_ON 0 #define Z_ENABLE_ON 0 #define E_ENABLE_ON 1 // For all extruders When i set the extruder in tby printer_man58 - Reprappers
I finally managed to get my printer to print. The only problem is that pronterface is setting the temperature to 200 degrees. I had it set as 185 degrees for PLA plastic. I dont think this will be a problem but I just wanted to make sure that this wont cause a problemby printer_man58 - Reprappers
UPDATE: The printer is able to home when i start the print but won't do anything else.

When I wired up i my board I used the ramps diagram at( ). When I did that it shows the Z axis motors connected by a screw terminal that is attached to the back row. Would it be possible to move the z axis cables to the front set of pins instead of the back set of pins. Also instead of doing that could you put each motor into the set of pins ( back and front)? Thanksby printer_man58 - Reprappers
My axis aren't moving towards the endstops. Thay will only move in the positive direction on pronterface. Whenever I try to move it towards the endstops it just says the endstops have been triggered prematurely. I don't think there is anything wronh with the code, but here it is anyway.// Uncomment the following line to enable CoreXY kinematics // #define COREXY // coarse Endstop Settings #defiby printer_man58 - Reprappers
I wasn't able to move my axis towards the endstops using pronterface here is the arduino code // Uncomment the following line to enable CoreXY kinematics // #define COREXY // coarse Endstop Settings #define ENDSTOPPULLUPS // Comment this out (using // at the start of the line) to disable the endstop pullup resistors #ifndef ENDSTOPPULLUPS // fine Enstop settings: Individual Pullups. will beby printer_man58 - Reprappers
I cut the plastic and loosend and tightened the screws but it still wouldnt extrude and now the gears are moving at a sluggish pace!by printer_man58 - Reprappers
I am not able to open the G code on my computer. Dont know how. (Sorry i am a noob).by printer_man58 - Reprappers
I have a budaschnozzle 2.0 and the hobbed looks like it it is set up properly against the plastic but whenever i try to extrude only the gears move and nothing comes out. Any help?by printer_man58 - Reprappers
Yes because i am able to move them by themselves on pronterfaceby printer_man58 - Reprappers
When i tried to print for the first the nozzle was extruding PLA but the axes aren't moving. I am able to move them on my own but i cant get them to move when i try to print. Any help? Thanksby printer_man58 - Reprappers
I am using a budaschnozzle 2.0 and when i try to extrude the filament the hobbed bolt wont bite into the PLA plastic and the plastic doesn't extrude. Any suggestions on what i could do? Thanksby printer_man58 - Reprappers
EDIT Actually the problem was that when i hit extrude the gear turned the wrong way. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanksby printer_man58 - Reprappers
I have a budaschnozzle 2.0 and when ever i hit extrude on pronterface instead of the gears turning i have to press the plastic in.But when i do that that it will not stop extruding Is there anything i can do to fix this? Thanksby printer_man58 - Reprappers
I have a windows 7 ;toshiba computer and have downloaded marlin previously on a mac and another windows 7 computer. When i try to download it on this computer the only library that shows up in arduino is the first one that says marlin. I have downloaded and re-downloaded the file many times with no luck. Any help would be useful. Thanksby printer_man58 - Reprappers
I switched the extruder to D10 voltage and now the extruder heats up. Thanks waitaki.by printer_man58 - Reprappers
Yeah my room temp is around that. Thanks but could you tell me how to measure the voltage. Also my thermistor for the bed is connected and i made sure in the right place Thanksby printer_man58 - Reprappers
I am using a ramps 1.4 and the heat bed temp is being shown at 0 and the extruder at 30by printer_man58 - Reprappers
Hi For some reason my heat bed and extruder are not heating up. All my motors move on pronterface but when i try to set the temperatures for the bed and extruder(for PLA plastic) it wont heat up Thanksby printer_man58 - Reprappers
