Re: Stepper motor issue on X,Y,Z - can't find problem - 8 years ago
Solved --> o_lampe was right. The new Ramps board I bought did not have any jumpers under the stepper drivers. I didn't realize this because my first ramps board came with them pre-installed. I feel pretty dumb right now but glad that it is fixed. Thanks a million o_lampe If anyone else experiences this, I feel your pain. The picture shows where the jumpers go.by elkell - Printing

O_Lampe - Not sure what you mean about the jumpers. I didn't require jumpers before, at least I don't think I did. Obewan - Marlin 1.0.2-2 Still haven't gotten anywhere with this... I'm pretty much out of ideas :/by elkell - Printing

Stepper motor issue on X,Y,Z - can't find problem - 8 years ago
I have a very odd problem A few months ago, I had to replace my Ramps 1.4 board - I melted the electronics from a poor connection to the heat bed. I replaced the Ramps 1.4 board and got ArduinoMega just in case it also got damaged. With the new hardware, I reflashed an old sprinter firmware that I have been using for two years without fail. The issue is the motors have gone screwy. They wilby elkell - Printing
Re: Pronterface causing problems after ubuntu 16.04 upgrade - 8 years ago
Update. Not a Linux issue, tried it on a windows machine with the same result. Very frustrated, I'm think now my power supply may be the issue.by elkell - General Mendel Topics
Pronterface causing problems after ubuntu 16.04 upgrade - 8 years ago
Hi, I have been encountering a very odd problem. Using pronterface, if I issue a command to move a motor, they screech at me and if they do move, it is a very jerky motion, not smooth at all. Things that shouldn't be the issue: The firmware is fine, I've been running the printer for almost 2 years with the same settings. Reflashed it just in case (Sprinter) The hardware is fine - I boughby elkell - General Mendel Topics
Extruder suddenly extruding too much - 10 years ago
My extruder was working fine for quite some time. I changed the filament out and then all of a sudden it seemed to be doubling the amount of plastic flowing through it. I didn't change any settings, and when I went to measure the amount of filament being extruded it was way off (2 to 3 times higher) when before it was perfect. Here's what I've done so far: - Checked the E-steps per mm - hadn'tby elkell - Printing
