Mine were already installed and the shield was already mounted as well. QuoteSven.L Thanks, Paul Delta. Is this the case with everyone: that the jumpers were already mounted on the RAMP board when receiving the printer set? Can that be confirmed? Or are there people who had to mount the jumpers on their own? In this case, where were the jumpers when you received your printer set?by chaster - Delta Machines
Minor question - did other people receive four pieces of plastic U-channel with their kits? They are about 7mm wide and 1.5' long (sorry for mixing units.. I don't have a long metric ruler). I just noticed them sitting in the box and the instructions don't make any mention of them. I am guessing they are for aesthetics (covering up wires that run in the slots of the aluminum extrusion) but juby chaster - Delta Machines
QuoteDav3xor My heater plate had a little bow in it; I figured out it's geometry, and with a careful and studious use of my foot, and a copy of Bill Shatner's autobiography (hardcover), I was able to make it as flat as my cheap metal ruler and a bright light source could measure. LOL! Thanks for the laugh.by chaster - Delta Machines
Ahhh. Thank you for the tip, paul_delta. Much appreciated. As an aside - one of my servos driving the X rail has decided to bind up. I am not particularly surprised. It was binding up earlier, so I took it apart and out popped a metal shaving (!). I think there is still more 'gunk' in there for me to clean out. Hopefully, it's not a case of the bearings failing... ... Quotepaul_delta Youby chaster - Delta Machines
Quotepaul_delta Quotechaster but what is the proper way to disable my z-probe? Looks like Marlin doesn't have such option, so you can edit pins.h and change pin to unused. Or disconnect the probe and make sure that firmware returns "open/not triggered" state. I did this (edited pins.h): Quote #define Z_MIN_PIN -1 //18 // autolevel for deltabot but it didn't seem to have any noticeaby chaster - Delta Machines
Update: Still have the same problem of all inputs for moving the head result in the entire carriage assembly moving straight up. I tried changing: const bool Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING = true; // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop. to: const bool Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING = false; // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop. and while that resulted in the Z_MIN always reportingby chaster - Delta Machines
Thanks paul_delta, will do. EDIT: Um, this is a stupid question - but what is the proper way to disable my z-probe? I tried to disable it by uncommenting the following line in my Configuration.h file: Quote //#define DISABLE_MIN_ENDSTOPS But that didn't seem to make any difference....

Hi everyone, I have been following this thread for quite a while as I slowly have been putting together my FT Kossel RevB. I finally got it all together and powered up, but as my last post above shows, I have some issues... One is the Z_MIN always being TRIGGERED regardless of whether or not the light comes on, but I am going to try re-wiring it (it currently has the blue wire connected to grouby chaster - Delta Machines
Quotedavidf01 Ok I may have something not right. When I home the printer with the G28 command my endstops report triggered. Should the Z_min not be triggered here? Reporting endstop status x_max: TRIGGERED y_max: TRIGGERED z_min: TRIGGERED z_max: TRIGGERED When I bring it down to Z0 it reports Reporting endstop status x_max: open y_max: open z_min: TRIGGERED z_max: open How can my Z_min be triby chaster - Delta Machines
