Re: My project of a truly universal extruder - 10 years ago
Since I still consider myself new to this 3d printing world, I don't have much knowledge of hotend models and their respective mounts, that's why I usually call this extruder "universal" with the quotation marks. I'm used to the all-metal hotends where you usually insert the thermistor into a small socket near the nozzle, so it's easy to leave the wiring far from the mount... I have never used aby lucaslucas80 - General
Re: My project of a truly universal extruder - 10 years ago
Hahaha thank you very much, youtube's automatic subtitles usually suck...! But google may be right: this project maybe lousy but it may also rock!!! Well, about it, I'm sorry I didn't post any more updates, but lately I could not dedicate much time to it, unfortunately. The point I'm stuck in is making the hinged extruder work with the endstop for the auto bed leveling system. I'll have to leaveby lucaslucas80 - General

Here is a video of a working prototype: Please turn on english subtitles. There are others on my channel, but still without proper subtitles. Thanks LUCASby lucaslucas80 - General
My project of a truly universal extruder - 10 years ago
Good morning fellow reprappers, I'm not very active in this forum, I'm one of those always lurking in the dark in search for answers and with little knowledge to contribute. But thanks to you and specially the Brazilian googlegroup, I've been learning a lot these years and I'm glad to say that I can finally pitch in and try to do things that might be useful to the community. I lack a lot of progrby lucaslucas80 - General
Re: Bed Auto Leveling.. check this out - 10 years ago
Ok, problem solved: my Z_RAISE_BEFORE_PROBING value was lower than my Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER. The former was set as 20 and the latter to -24.5 (I'm considering only absolute values, the offset must be negative, of course) This way after homing the printer didn't realize the Z was lower than 24.5, so it began lowering past 20 to try and probe, but then it was too late and a collision imminenby lucaslucas80 - General Mendel Topics

Ok, good to know we have the same model. Yes, I'm printing facing forwards, the X and Y endstops are indeed set as MAX. Such modification was suggested to me by Alex Borro, who at the time had this same printer. But I don't guess that accounts for this issue with the Z lowering before extending the probe, since the Z endstop is still set as MIN. About the ENDSTOPPULLUPS block, it has always beenby lucaslucas80 - General Mendel Topics
Re: Bed Auto Leveling.. check this out - 10 years ago
Ok, that I get, but why does the Z axis lower with the probe retracted? Shouldn't the probe extension be the first thing to happen? It starts lowering and I have to trigger the endstop manually before the nozzle hits the glass. Attached follows my configuration.h as of now. Thanks AbuMaiaby lucaslucas80 - General Mendel Topics
Re: Bed Auto Leveling.. check this out - 10 years ago
ok, now I have the following issue: when I send a G29 the Z axis starts lowering with the probe retracted. I have to trigger the probe endstop manually before the nozzle hits the glass, and then I get this on pronterface: SENDING:G29 Bed x: 30 y: 140 z: 23.03 Bed x: 30 y: 30 z: 23.05 Bed x: 140 y: 30 z: 24.23 echo:endstops hit: Z:24.23 And on my LCD I get a endstops hit: Z messageby lucaslucas80 - General Mendel Topics

Oh my, I can't believe I missed that... I should be very ashamed, and I really am! Thanks edn! It's working now! Thanks AbuMaia, that guide is really helpful.by lucaslucas80 - General Mendel Topics
Re: Bed Auto Leveling.. check this out - 10 years ago
Hi everybody, I'm having the following issue: on pronterface the G29 command does nothing. I can't either use M401. M280 works though. Homing with G28 works fine, the probe is extended and retracted. If I send a dummy print with a G29 command after a G28 it prints "on the air" (not touching the bed) and the probing is ignored. I'm using a MakerFarm Prusa i3 8" with a Marlin that is not the latestby lucaslucas80 - General Mendel Topics
