Re: Power Issues? - 1 year ago

On my 3D Printer using the original power wires the voltage would drop from 12 volts to 8.3 volts this was too large of a voltage drop an as it turned out this was my problem.

Re: Power Issues? - 1 year ago

I would measure the voltage on the power supply when the spike occurs and again at the power pins on your printer controller card. If the voltage drops on the power supply during a spike then your power supply may be under rated. If the voltage drops only on the controller during a spike then your power supply cables needs to be larger to supply the current to your controller.

Re: DIY CoreXY - 1 year ago

Found this which will give me a head start into a CoreXY 3D Printer. It is a Scalable CoreXY V2 (HICTOP Prusa i3 hardware Converted to CoreXY). If I can get my head wrapped around what to do with this Thingiverse post. I can not find any measurements or how to assemble. Downloaded DesignSpark Mechanical 5 where I can measure the T-Slots and the Bed, though not much else. Still this is my best sh

DIY CoreXY - 1 year ago

Hello to all I have three Cartesian style 3D Printers. But now I am looking a building a CoreXY style 3D Printer. Would like information on DIY builds that would meet at least 300mm cubed, a nice good fast 3D Printer that will put my Cartesian style 3D Printers on E-Bay. Was thinking of building a simple inexpensive CoreXY printer that could be upgraded to make a great 3D Printer, One that woul

Quotelmcbmai I have z-probe of my own design with optical sensor and electronic circuit identical to the circuits of X, Y and Z end-stops. My Probe hardware has electronic circuit identical to the circuits of X, Y and Z end-stops as well, though in my firmware Need to enable the following. #define Z_MIN_PROBE_USES_Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_PIN #define FIX_MOUNTED_PROBE

It appears you have tested endstops maybe missed something in the firmware. Post your configuration.h an configuration_adv.h will take a quick peek

Lowering the temperature can help, as overheating it the most common cause of vertical banding. Reducing vibration in XY axis will allow a smoother wall, other fixes include lowering the filament temperature and proper calibration of retraction...

If it is only a single SD Card Menu then It could be that the SD Card is not compatible with your 3D Printer. Do you have the specs on SD card that your a using.

Re: Precision piezo for a CNC touch probe! - 1 year ago

No I am here listening, I built an MPCNC Burley - 550X750X220 This still need some work to become a 3D Printer / CNC router. Looking at putting a Z-Axis endstop / sensor of some design have not determined what as of this date. Though the MPCNC router does not really need a Z-sensor the 3D Printer add-on will. This will allow me to 3D Print large models with larger diameter nozzles.

Sorry going off subject for second. My oldest PC is still my favorite home brew with an AMD FX 8150 Processor. This is crazy but while recording video works perfect. With my brand new i5 11600K Processor home brew the audio is offset from video mouth movements, this is unacceptable.
