Re: replacement for MKS Gen-2Z v1.1 - 1 year ago
I have switched to RAMPS 1.6 plus version but I cannot connect two stepper motors on the Z plug due to plastic configuration of the plug motor so, in the Marlin code I have uncomment line #define Z_DUAL_STEPPER_DRIVERS from the Configuration_adv.h and now the second motor is instead of E1.by 3dby3d - Controllers
Re: replacement for MKS Gen-2Z v1.1 - 1 year ago
I am planning to replace with a combination of MEGA 2560 and RAMPS 1.4 or 1.6 but I do not know how to make connections for Z axis with 2 stepper drivers. On both RAMPS boards on the Z location there are 2 pairs of 4 pins. Shall I insert the first stepper driver in the Z stepper driver location and the second one on the E1, and the 4 pins cables should be placed where ? ...both on the 2 Z pairs pby 3dby3d - Controllers
replacement for MKS Gen-2Z v1.1 - 1 year ago
Hi, Usually most of the controllers have X,Y,Z ,E0 and E1. Mine has X,Y,Z1, E0 and Z2. How can I switch between these two controllers and what options in the firmware do I need to do to work ?by 3dby3d - Controllers
Faulty thermistor readings on RAMPS 1.4 - 1 year ago
Hi, I've got an MKS Gen-2Z v1.1 control board based on RAMPS 1.4 and recently after starting the printer the heated bed readings are fluctuating. If I try to heat the bed the LED is lighting up and the bed starts to heat but without reading the correct temperature from it. The thermistor is OK I've check it out, so my guess is that maybe the SMD capacitor might be damaged. Does anyone had this isby 3dby3d - RAMPS Electronics
