Thanks Greg. I was not aware of that, will take a look.by Kurzaa - CoreXY Machines
I didn't think there were any kits available for CoreXY builds. Plans and designs sure, but kits and therefore the option to buy printed pieces, not so much. If you do find plans / models for a design you would like to build from scratch, I imagine that you could get the parts printed from a local hackerspace, your public library, or 3D Printer Hubs.by Kurzaa - CoreXY Machines
Not sure about the Duet board specifically, but I thought repetier firmware supported the Due processor. I am curious though what issues you have with RepRap Firmware over Marlin and Repetier as I am in the process of upgrading myself.by Kurzaa - General
The biggest disadvantage with the RAMPS 1.4 board is that it is 8-bit, not 32-bit. Upgrading to a 32-bit board is essentially a choice between the Duet, Smoothie, and AzteegX5, like dc42 mentioned. I think their are a few other choices like an expansion board for a BBB, but I believe they suffer from a similar issue as the RAMPS board of being shields / capes rather than single board controllers.by Kurzaa - General
I believe someone is working on adding 2004 LCD support to the RepRap firmware. I agree it would be nice to have a simple interface for checking the status of the printer, maybe pre-heating the bed, or just quickly making adjustments while standing in front of the printer. Alternatively, I am planning to use an old cellphone for my "LCD display", assuming I ever get around to it. I can mount itby Kurzaa - Duet
1. If you have a delta printer, what do you like about it? QuoteEasy to put together, bed is stationary. 2. Which delta printer do you have? Is it pre-build or a kit? QuoteI have a Rostock Mini Pro kit from 3D Printer Czar that I have since upgraded to an E3D v6 hot end from the cheap chinese J-head clone that came with it and added an FSR leveling kit from Utlibots. I also have a 170mm heated beby Kurzaa - Delta Machines
Any luck yet? You might also try the SeeMeCNC forums as they seem to have a good community of printer owners. More targeted forum audience for you.by Kurzaa - General
I believe I have an extra set of XT60 plugs in a box somewhere, though they are always a PITA to disconnect. Though I am wondering if DC42 is correct and I need to rethink how I am going to setup the bed. Permanently mounting it won't be as easy as with a Kossel or the SeeMeCNC Rostock's that include heated bed by default. Thanks for the feedback everyone.by Kurzaa - Duet
Is it stuttering or just completely pausing? If it is pausing, it sounds to me like a bad USB port. You could try a different USB cord or just try to print from an SD card rather than via USB.by Kurzaa - Printing
Just received my Duet 0.85 today, so I hope it is easier to setup then RAMPS running Marlin, but for an i3 printer, I have to wonder if a single board RAMPS clone running Repetier firmware with Repetier-Host would be the simplest place to start. Web interface to configure the firmware, with multiple user difficulties, syncs with the Repetier-Host firmware for bed leveling and EEPROM editing, andby Kurzaa - General
Repetier has an online tool that would just involve you reading through the Configuration.h file to find values while you step through the UI. I don't think it would be too difficult to match the terminology used in the two firmwares. For Marlin, you might try the new 1.1 RC from the main Marlin GIT repository, I assume it is fairly stable for most. I believe Marlin is a fork of Sprinter, so itby Kurzaa - Reprappers
Did you generate the gCode for the print yourself or download it from somewhere? Normally when I run a test like that, I am dropping or increasing the temperature every centimeter or so to see what temperature has the best layer adhesion and finish. If you didn't slice it yourself, someone might have told it to drop to 195 degrees at a certain height.by Kurzaa - Delta Machines
There is an Arduino script somewhere on the RepRap website that will flash your LEDs and move your steppers back and forth so you know that everything is wired correctly. You also might try adjusting the poteniometers on your motor drivers to ensure they are getting enough voltage, which might be causing the shakiness. Moving the wrong direction could be a wiring error. Just throwing ideas out tby Kurzaa - Delta Machines
I know it old, I believe I salvaged it from a Dell Workstation. Not your standard ATX form factor, it is thin and stretched out with a 20 pin and 24 pin header. Likely around the time MBs first required 24 pin headers. Thought of salvaging another Dell ATX power supply from a more recent box, but it only supported a 14A 12V rail, not two, and had wires coming out of 2 holes rather than just theby Kurzaa - Duet
I'd ask for one of those extra Duet's you now have, but I just ordered one last week.by Kurzaa - Firmware - mainstream and related support
Quotedc42 To power the bed heater independently, connect it between your chosen positive power supply output and the negative bed heater output. Connect the corresponding negative psu output to the Duet power input terminal block along with the one from the other 12V power supply output. So 12VA to the Duet power input, 12VB to the heated bed, both 12V GNDs from the PSU to the Duet ground on theby Kurzaa - Duet
Thanks greenman, was thinking that wiring the two might cause an issue. I might try measuring the amps being pulled during heat-up. I think 15A is the bare minimum I need, so Gaou might be right about using a single rail. Definitely easier to wire.by Kurzaa - Duet
Finally bit the bullet today now that the 0.85 Duet is available in the US from Filastruder. However, in looking it over, it looks like there is only one input for power, unlike my current RAMPS 1.4 board that has one input for the board and hot end plus a second for the heated bed (at least that's my understanding). I was planning to use an old ATX power supply with two 12V rails, 12VA and 12VBby Kurzaa - Duet
Thanks for the suggestion Srek, I will check and recalibrate my filament extrusion before working on anything else. I will also make sure to print at least a second benchy (and possibly other calibration objects) in the future. Thanks for the advice Downunder35m.by Kurzaa - Printing
My first attempt at printing a 3D Benchy, mostly just to print something. Looks like I need to add a fan to improve bridging, but I am not sure what to do to fix the overhang issues in the front. Planning to switch from the white eSun PLA I have loaded right now to a silver eSun PLA as I am having issues with delamination in my prints and would like to start fresh with a new roll of filament forby Kurzaa - Printing
The following is the snippet of code in the Configuration.h file I was referring to. Not exactly sure what it all does as I am using FSR's and don't need to deploy / retract my Z probe. Hopefully it helps. // Z-Probe variables // Start and end location values are used to deploy/retract the probe (will move from start to end and back again) #define Z_PROBE_OFFSET {0, 10, -5.6, 0} // X, Y, Z, Eby Kurzaa - Delta Machines
Just saw that last night. So happy, especially since the UK source is out of stock til mid-February.by Kurzaa - Controllers
Its been awhile since I last tinkered with Rich's firmware (currently working, no need to touch it). But I thought it included commands in the configuration for raising and lowering the probe, so the M401 / M402 weren't actually needed, it was hardcoded into the G30 A command.by Kurzaa - Delta Machines
Quotetomasf Is the firmware up to date? Mentioned he was using version 1.09r in the original post. I am with Sir Death, have you tried swapping power supplies? I assume the prints only fail after a certain amount of time, so small prints are completed successfully, just not longer prints that could be causing something to overheat. Do you have power set correctly to the stepper drivers? I beliby Kurzaa - Delta Machines
I think the crimper dc42 posted is the same one I was using for my servo and quadcopter projects. Originally tried just using pliers / solder and had all sorts of issues. After buying the crimpers everything is working so much better.by Kurzaa - General
Any luck yet? Have you tried posting to the delta group on Google? Mostly the same group of people I think, but maybe you will get lucky.by Kurzaa - General
I'd look it up for you, but unforunately I my hotend was crap and I ended up swapping it out for a E3D. Sorry. I don't recall making anything thermistor changes when I was flipping back and forth between Marlin and Repetier, though it has been awhile. You might try the default setting (assuming it is the same in both firmwares) and slowly test it bringing it up to temperature. The hotend that caby Kurzaa - General
I think there are a few sources of Rostock Mini kits, you might be able to find instructions online from another vendor. I believe at least one other source is posted on Thingiverse besides 3D Printer Czar.by Kurzaa - Delta Machines
Make sure you are editing the correct variable in the Config.h file. Then, after making changes to the delta radius, you will need to re-calibrate your tower heights again. It can be a very repetitive process. EDIT: Also make sure your EEPROM is disabled while calibrating. Not sure if it is updated when you re-upload new firmware.by Kurzaa - Delta Machines
Never bothered downloading the instructions myself, sorry. Though it looks like their backend software might be down. Maybe try shooting them an email and try again tomorrow? As for the firmware, pretty much just configured it myself as I have jumped back and forth between Marlin and Repetier. Shouldn't be to hard to setup.by Kurzaa - General
