QuoteSteveRoy Check that when you ask "pronterface" or "repetier" to extrude 100mm of filament that it does - within a mm or two. The China kits are a race to the bottom - this forum and youtube are full of "how-to's" on upgrading these kits to get decent prints. And I have used all upgrades that make my prints stack up to the best 3D Printers. Hoping soon to make a Laser cutter, so as to etchby Roberts_Clif - Prusa i3 and variants
I Use Vinyl Transfer Paper Tape, This Transfer Tape is normally use to transfer decal lettering to signs or windows. I like this because it come in widths large enough to cover bed in one piece. And cheap enough so you can use it.by Roberts_Clif - Prusa i3 and variants
I too had problems setting up the filament run-out sensor, I read every post I could find tried every suggestion that was given to me. Finally someone mentions that they were using unused end-stop pins. so this is where I found a solution for my delima.

Quotevannystick There are no obvious instructions on how to tension the belts, run the cables to the print head or what the plastic tube in the kit was for. Most of this was easy to sort out and pretty quickly I was up and running, printing the demo from the SD card, a simple tube. I spent far far too long levelling the bed. My first print created a not very round tube, so a bit more tweaking ofby Roberts_Clif - Prusa i3 and variants
This is true, the M420 Z features do not work. I was happy just to save the bed leveling. An maybe one day the others will be added as well. I started saving the Bed leveling data while using Linear bed leveling and now have changed to bi-linear bed leveling and sill saving the bed leveling data.

My duct fan is in the shape of a C and the nozzle sits in the middle so I get air half way around the nozzle down towards the model. I have Attached so If you want to try it you a use my model to create your own style. I have a center duct to direct air to a half circle heat sink on the throat. I have cut this heat sink between the fins to create two - 2 fin heat sinks. As shown in the laby Roberts_Clif - Printing

Quotescubi Printer has been printing fine, now suddenly while printing the head moves away from the model ( No extrusion ) and then comes back & carries on printing. It does it on both X & Y direction. This happens every now & again. It does not extrude when it moves away. What could it be causing the printer head to move away like this ?

I have had the Same problem when upgrading to Marlin 1.1.X. And for a long time thought it was firmware, have learned it is stepper data noise. I have mostly eliminated this noise.

I am using one of these switches on my 3D Printer. As the end stop board has a hardware 10K pull-up resistor added with the internal 4,7K pull-up you may want to disable pull-ups while using end-stop board. I skipped this step as the current was not so high as to cause problems. If you have a limited supply you may want to enable individual end-stop pull-up resistors.

Filament sensors do not need to be purchased, they are as simple using a end-stop switch to detect the presents of the filament, and a 3D printed case to enclose the switch. My design is a little over the top, thou if you have the knowledge use it or loose it. I had fun making it and it turned out better than expected.

OK was not sure! But let's think about this. I have a filament run out sensor so I tested the line of code. M600 X10 Y10 Z10 L100 // Pause Print It worked as expected. So You actually do not need a run-out sensor. You can enable code as if you had a run-out sensor and place a jumper across the pins to simulate the filament in place. Then the commands will work as expected. #define FILAMENT_RUby Roberts_Clif - Firmware - Marlin
Yes you need to enable filament run-out switch. or maybe just { #define FILAMENT_RUNOUT_SCRIPT "M600" } outside the filament Runout Statement lines?? If you do not need the runout switch then it may be as easy as moving this line {#define FILAMENT_RUNOUT_SCRIPT "M600"} outside the #endif statement shown below?? //=========================================================================== //===by Roberts_Clif - Firmware - Marlin
PULL UP RESISTORS usually a 4.7 k resistor connected to VCC to pullup the signal line to VCC when not being held low by a closed end stop switch. Digital lines have two states High or low, zero volts or ~+Vcc volts or simply stated zero or one, ('on or off'). In the Marlin firmware ENDSTOPPULLUPS is defined by default, and ENDSTOPPULLUPS for each end stop connector on the motherboard are enabledby Roberts_Clif - Firmware - Marlin
When Flashing you should always Initialize settings as the old settings sometimes do not get read. This can be done from the LCD Menu using Initialize settings followed by Save Settings or sending M codes to Controller M502 // Load default configuration. M501 // Restore all settings.
