Hi Im building a mini kossel k800 all Aluminium brackets I have come to the point where i need to cut my carbon rod to size i am using the 10mm stainless steel balls and grub screw method, I have read the problem people have had with the system so i ain't using the effector design as intend to install my flex3drive from my i3 to it so in my effector design ive made allowances so can use fisby chris33 - Delta Machines

Check out mine when i powered sbase with 12v sorry for blurred and large pictureby chris33 - Controllers
No external power power the sbase with 12v and the tft powers through the board.by chris33 - Controllers
Why would it be silly not much you can do with just having 5v going through controller and it does not power up through 5v i have tried. The power comes from the controllerby chris33 - Controllers
I have the mks 32 tft and i have no option for 5v so your right with the tft 28 tftby chris33 - Controllers
Is it being powered through usb or have you got 12v runing through like i said it wont run on 5v it has to see 12v isnt like a lcd it need more voltsby chris33 - Controllers
i have a tft32 i never seen a jumper on that but may be different but to get tft going i had to supply 12vby chris33 - Controllers

Have you tried getting a proper smoothie firmware config and compared it and using the pin layout configure the sbase firmware as i have notice a few mess ups in the firmware regarding pins so Im going to wing it and go through it and go from thereby chris33 - Controllers
yes it will if the home position isnt correct readd this further down about motor connectors and homing position forum postby chris33 - Printing
in my opinion its upside down top heavyby chris33 - Delta Machines
proper pin layout pictureby chris33 - Controllers
when i started my prusa i3 with m5 thread the rule was that you don't need to configure your z at all to get your z length correct, thats other issues like incorrect 1st layer height, incorrect layer heightby chris33 - Reprappers
fishing line stretchesso you would probably having to constant adjust tension, braid would be better but belt always for precision purposesby chris33 - General

cura and slicer have different perimeter settings in slicer you put that you want 3 perimeters in cura you have to go of width of extrusion ie if your nozzle is 0.4 for 1 perimeter be 0.4, 2 perimeters would be 0.8 etcby chris33 - General
going have to do a abl sensor trial when i get that stage of my build as theres only the mechanical switch option i can findby chris33 - Controllers
I would of thought you could use the pins on j8 above the leds, also endstops you can change from 3.3v or 5vby chris33 - Controllers
Ok you dont mess with z step values is is screw driven they stay constant, if z height issue then check 1st layer height is correct then check flow and you actually extruding the correct layer heightby chris33 - Printing
