Quotediedirk Anybody got a solution for my problem: My board powers/functions just fine from the usb connector, but does nothing at all when i try to power it from the port with 12v (tried multiple power supply's and triple checked the polarity) anybody a clue what's wrong? Thanks guys I would guess you've blown your fuse maybe, SMD component F2, use a multimeter to check the resistance acrossby gadjet - Controllers
The SMD device is a fuse, this is why 12V no longer powers the board, you need to replace it with another SMD fuse of the same spec. should be available from Ebay.by gadjet - Controllers
Thanks for the info. I'll do some experimenting myself. Don't worry, your bed is more level than mine :-)by gadjet - Firmware - Marlin
The thing is I've been using a Davinci for a long time so with my DIY Prusa clone I'm trying different PC hosts and I may not have been doing things consistently and also I used to manually trigger the bed leveling from the LCD but then my repetier host SW on the PC was adding a G28 to the Gcode therefore wiping the bed leveling, unfortunately it took me while to find this out.by gadjet - Firmware - Marlin
QuoteRoberts_Clif I am using Marlin 1.1.5 and the bed leveling data is discarded with a home command and is not saved in Any version of Marlin as of this date. I hear that they are working on a saving the data for bed leveling thou no released versions are yet stated. If I am in error please correct me, as I would like to see the code. Thanks for confirming that, it now makes sense as to why Iby gadjet - Firmware - Marlin
Hi, I've been using Marlin for a couple of weeks in my DIY Prusa clone and my first layer has been very hit and miss and I might have found out why! On the Marlin Wiki it says that the bed leveling data is discarded with a home command and is also not saved, this info was for 1.1.2 does anyone know if it's the same in 1.1.4 or 1.1.5 as I can't see it in the release notes.

That looks very interesting, first thing I'm going to do is feed my probe from 12V to see if that improves it but I'm also going to investigate the Piezo route.by gadjet - General
QuoteRoberts_Clif 3D printer instructions that tell you to set the extruder height by using an piece of paper as a feeler gauge. The thickness of a piece of paper is an undefined height, and the thickness of a piece of paper is not a constant and varies greatly, firmware assumes 0.1mm. I have my Proximity sensor mounted onto a slide mount with a thumb screw adjustment, this allows me to adjust tby gadjet - General
Hi, I've recently finished my DIY version of a I3 Prusa clone and had some good prints so far but I keep having lots of problems with the first layer height. I've done some investigation and I think it is the Z probe, it's an inductive probe with a blue plastic tip bought from Aliexpress. What sort of gap should there be between the probe and the bed (3mm heated aluminium) when the probe triggeby gadjet - General
I tried ABS for the first time last night on my DIY Prusa I3 clone and with a 240W 12V supply a PCB heater on a 3mm aluminium print bed with 2 10mm thick pieces of cork underneath I couldn't get more than 105 C and that took ages to reach. In the end I settled on 100C and ABS printed fine, as good as my Davinci 1.0 prints it, I was printing onto buildtak.by gadjet - Reprappers
Hi, I've just finished my first DIY 3D printer build, it was inspired by Toms3D Dolly cheapest 3d printer build although I wasn't trying to make it as cheap as possible. Here is a YouTube video with a fly around the printer Youtube All went well initially but I'm now struggling to get a repeatable Z height, it's a pain!by gadjet - Reprappers
