Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
If I’m reading the docs right, it looks like you don’t need the X parameter in your M305. The way I’m reading it is you’re telling it to set as sensor 1, but use a virtual heater channel of 200. Maybe dc can chime in on that, but I don’t think you need X200 Edit: Oh, I missed PT100. So you have a daughterboard in there, hence the need for the X parameter. Maybe the daughterboard is the issuby blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
Maybe the thermistor is different? I’d double check you have the right settings for it in config.gby blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
I’d put the probes on the power supply voltage output and do exactly what you were doing. If it was just heating up to calibrate, do that.by blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
You wouldn’t think you’d have to if you hadn’t really changed anything. The new heater cartridge you installed is the right voltage? Eh 24v or 12v? Also I wonder if you might put a multimeter on the VDC voltage output from the power supply and try to heat it up. Maybe it’s a power supply issue where it can’t supply enough power anymore for some reason.by blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
Still have the silicone sock on the heater block? Nothing odd like a fan blowing directly on the block or nozzle or anything? If not, I would try doing a heater tune again.by blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
I’d be curious if it will reach and maintain temperature while the effector is stationary. I’d say if it does, and you only start to see issues when it starts moving, it might be an internal break in the wiring that you don’t see until it starts moving. Unless you’re seeing weird readings on the temperature, it’s probably on the water cartridge side. You might just swap out the wiring and maybby blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
Brian is only selling the rod ends. We have to build the arms. I’m thinking it might be more accurate to get the 350mm injection molded arms from seemecnc. But I wanted to have the option for the Trick Laser ends.by blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
I do, I’ve been using Super Lube Grease with PTFE. The bad magball thing was confirmed by Haydn, there was a batch back in January where the chrome flakes off.by blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
I did get a response from Trick Laser, he has 4 sets left which I bought 2. I contacted him on Facebook. Also 713 maker put the Smart Effector Adapter back in stock when I asked if they’d make me one. I’m gonna burn through the magballs I have and those that Haydn sends me. Then I’m changing the setup.by blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
I contacted Haydn, it seems there was a batch of magballs back in January that had an issue with the chrome wearing off. That’s about the time I replaced mine. I am noticing that this is happening with mine. Looks like when the chrome wears off, it creates an edge that wears away the cup end in the rod. I’m thinking of going with the 713maker adapter for the duet smart effector, the seemecncby blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
Yeah, I contacted them on Facebook. They don’t do it anymore.by blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
I’d actually like to go with the seemecnc ball studs and trick laser rods. But it seems like trick laser doesn’t make them anymore?by blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
They’re definitely of interest. I like the idea of the replacement parts being cheap. Maybe just stock some extra in the event they do get work down. I’m also thinking about these. https://www.yeahracing.com/aluminum-reversed-thread-m3-rod-ends-5pcs-black-ya-0572bk-00077947?search=YA-0572BK&description=true I like that the body is aluminum so they’re light, the ball is steel, and there’sby blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
Yeah, it’s the delrin wearing down. I’ve cleaned all the rod ends using a q-tip and alcohol until the q-tip comes out clean. Made sure to lube them using the recommended line and it still happens. It eventually gets to the point where the magnet runs the ball. I’m looking at solutions also. I’d like to use a rod end that has a bronze insert. That should provide much better longevity. Thougby blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
Unfortunately I get it on the effector side. Upon inspection, it’s definitely the delrin rod ends wearing down. Also as to losing print volume due to the fans. I wouldn’t use that fan setup. It’s just a ridiculous setup.by blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
I’m thinking about doing this. But with better rod ends. I’d want to take time to model it up so I can make sure I can still hit the full build plate. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3603550by blt3dp - Delta Machines

Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
Me too, I think it’s just not good design. Delrin on chrome steel, I dunno about long term wear at this point. I wonder if rod ends with steel balls in bronze cups would be better. I can’t say I have a real solution. Quotealex773 I changed my rods with the new ones from Filastruder. After 2 months I noticed the magballs on my effector and carriage adapters were getting this black powder . I lby blt3dp - Delta Machines

Re: 8 years late, my Tantillus build - 2 years ago
Funny, I was about to do just this, since the build volume on my main printer is big enough.by blt3dp - Tantillus
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
Looks a lot better. I believe we're looking at a cooling issue with the remaining stringeys and the bridge quality there. I've never actually printed a bridge yet on my printer, mine might come out the same. I'll print this file and let you know how it goes. You may actually slow down the bridge speed, so the fan has time to cool it mid air.by blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
That works, though you can actually type in and Slicer will put in whatever the first layer height you set in the gui. Is useful if you change the first layer height, you don't have to remember to change the start gcode.by blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
I would. Though it shouldn't affect your issue. It's only to say if the travel is this short, don't retract.by blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
Also in your start gcode, you can replace that G0 Z0.200 F1800 with G0 Z F1800 Prusa can do some variables, then it will go to whatever the first later height that you set in the gui.by blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
Yeah, I did some playing around and looks like it might actually be on the Printer Settings tab, in the Extruder 1 section under Retraction Settings. Probably the Z lift there, take that out.by blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
Yeah, something's going on at layer change or retract time. Here's a snip of gcode from yours. G1 Z4.500 F5400.000 G10 ; retract G1 Z5.200 G1 X6.789 Y-44.591 G1 Z4.500 G11 ; unretract It's moving to the next layer, retracting, then moving up by 0.7mm, moving to XY position, then going back down. Then unretracting. Take a look at mine G1 Z4.600 F5400.000 G10 ; retract G1 X7.551 Y-0.057 G11by blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
Would you post the stl also, I'd like to slice it and see how it does the gcode for me.by blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
I don't really see much difference either. Could you post that gcode file?by blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
I don't see anything there so different than mine. Except the travel speed, I have it set lower at 90 mm/sec. The Max Print Speed I left at default 80 mm/secby blt3dp - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel Delta xxl build project HELP - 2 years ago
Yeah, it should be just like mine. I'd try out different speeds and distance combinations of M207by blt3dp - Delta Machines
