Quotefadroid Quoterufinus Never mind, got my working, with eeprom enabled. Just have to figute out the z-offset for automatic leveling, and will be all set. Which leveling sensor do you have? I bought one (before actually buying the printer lol) but never had the time to install it. So can you share the type of sensor you have and how you mounted it? Here is my sensor: LJ12A3-4-Z/BX 3-wire Nby rufinus - Extruded Aluminum Frames
Ang here are mine latest mods: Installed inductive sensor for automatic bed leveling. Determined, that Y-rods are a bit loose in their nests and can also move in Y direction, when bed is changing direction, even when the fixation screws are tightened. Solution is to remove the screws and cut a slot a bit wider with metal saw. Then tighten the screws again. Finally, got Marlin RC8 working witby rufinus - Extruded Aluminum Frames

Wow, fadroid, can you post your configs, please?by rufinus - Extruded Aluminum Frames
Did someone try to setup auto bed leveling? I'm getting "endstop hits: z" error..by rufinus - Extruded Aluminum Frames
The screw in the hole on the top is not fulfilling its function, therefore you will get protruding rod --> reduced belt tension --> reduced precision + shaky X axis. So you have to install some stopper, like above. It does not have to be out of metal, it can be printed, please look on page 2 for this solution.by rufinus - Extruded Aluminum Frames
Well, I thought the picture is pretty clear - I'm fixing exactly the problem which you have pictured - protruding x-rod. It's just a piece of aluminium with M8 hole for the rod and M3 hole for the fixation screw. Ynothna, i think your configs would be greatly appreciated, also if you don't mind explaining what have you copied from "original" config (1.0.1, if i am not mistaken).

QuoteYnothna Does anyone have a model for a cooling fan attachment that fits the carriage? Or a model for a replacement carriage that is compatible with a cooling attachment? I went and printed a diicooler attachment and didn't realize it wouldn't fit, haha. I haven't been able to find a design that would work. Just received my radial fan yesterday, after measuring it, will start designing the fby rufinus - Extruded Aluminum Frames
Actually, you need both improvements simultaneously. In my case the lead screw was somehow really tilted, when the extruder was in the Z=0 position, and the stepper had a problem rotating it. Greasing helped, but also bearing on top brought some improvement. Now i still want to run some calibration procedures, but will need time for it. Z-axis linear bearings are also already replaced with 45mm vby rufinus - Extruded Aluminum Frames
Here are my current improvements implemented: I have fixed the lead screw with bearing. Shall i upload STL of the bearing holder, in case someone is interested?by rufinus - Extruded Aluminum Frames
Hello Ynothna, here how it is in my manual and on my board (RAMPS 1.4): On the right side there are 2 vertical motor connectors, they are for Z motors. Not the one horizontal with Z on top, where Z-switch is plugged.by rufinus - Extruded Aluminum Frames
Well, it was printing OK first prints, but then the X rod got more and more loose, even though i have fixed it straight at the beginning with the screw. But continuous belt tension and extruder movement have quickly loosened it.This fixation concept is not good at all. It got into skipping steps and lead screw biting into brass after i replaced the bearings and fixed left glide rod (Z) with epoxby rufinus - Extruded Aluminum Frames
QuoteKingDWS The calibration stuff can be found at and It looks a bit daunting but it just cuts down the calibration into a dozen or so steps or focused areas. Printing will be involved so have some filament handy! This is a bit easier when done while connected to Repetier. You could probably blast through this in a day but I would take it easy and make sure. I can't really add anything to whaby rufinus - Extruded Aluminum Frames
QuoteKingDWS I see you had about the same issues I did. Mostly the head scratching for a few minutes trying to figure out if that's what they mean or am I misunderstanding type of problem. Those manuals are definitely not written by a native English speaker. The extruder calibration was the first thing I did as well and it was set to 60 and took 145ish to get 100 on mine as well.
