Re: Piezoelectric disks for Z contact detect and bed levelling - 8 years ago
Very interested in trying this out on my delta. Do you guys already have boards for wider testing? What are these costing to produce? I found the brazillian version, but £30 + delivery + duty + etc will be a bit expensiveby deltamelter - General
Re: FLSUN from AliExpres - 9 years ago
Actually, I have 2 of these and the other is 300W and has 2 x12 volt rails both 18A so that looks to be a better selection Thanksby deltamelter - Delta Machines
Re: FLSUN from AliExpres - 9 years ago
you say, 16A OR 200W, the PSU is rated 250W, but I guess I'll have to find a PSU to go with the heated bedby deltamelter - Delta Machines
Re: FLSUN from AliExpres - 9 years ago
Hi LVD, I am going to use a PC ATX PSU to replace the 12v 6A one that came with my MKS-Mini 1.2. The board doesn't seem to have a PS_ON_PIN defined or physically on the board, but I just need any data pin I think, to connect the PSU green wire low (below 2v). Do you know if data pins like the ones in aux1 and perhaps those in the -x and -y endstops can be easily redefined? the ATX PSU is 13A oby deltamelter - Delta Machines

Quotejunkyjunky QuoteLVD You need to connect the heat-bed power leads (black and red) to the green connector 'heated bed hot line', and the power supply needs to be connected at power + and power - That did it! Thank-you again!! Ok, now only a few more non-technical questions: 1. I put my glass plate over top of my aluminum heat bed, but which side do you guys have facing up?

Re: FLSUN from AliExpres - 9 years ago
QuoteLVD I'll put a guide on my to do list. But for now: you need to calibrate the z-offset to your printer. There are 3 ways to do this: In the firmware in configuration.h; by using the M212 command and in Repetier host you can set a Z-offset as well. I find it easiest to use the M212 command on a test print, and when the first layer sticks well, put that value in configuration.h as default. Wheby deltamelter - Delta Machines
Re: FLSUN from AliExpres - 9 years ago
autolevel not stored so need to be repeated at reset/poweron? or every print? What is the best way to adjust lift the head 0.2 after auto level? I find that all the points are a touch too low although they are closer to each other than after original autolevelling Is this line affecting the results or only the probing or both? #define Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -0.275 //Automatic leveling sby deltamelter - Delta Machines
Re: FLSUN from AliExpres - 9 years ago
QuoteLVD I upgraded to an all metal extruder so I had to change the E-steps from the original. Reset it to 150 #define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {XYZ_STEPS, XYZ_STEPS, XYZ_STEPS,150} in configuration.h to solve the underextruding problem. To restore the original temperatures uncomment #define PIDTEMP Thanks LVD!! It is probably just the extrusion rate that caused the print problems,by deltamelter - Delta Machines
Re: FLSUN from AliExpres - 9 years ago
Nope, definitely under-extruding compared to stock FLSUN firmware even after resetting the eeprom. I will go back to the original firmware and print the rest of the items but would like to find the reason for this massive difference in the resulting output... I would hope this is just some minor tweaking and will look to this again, but I wasted enough plastic on inedible wafers for now...by deltamelter - Delta Machines
Re: FLSUN from AliExpres - 9 years ago
Quotedeltamelter oh, and was I supposed to reset the eeprom between these versions too? I thought that this was essentially the same base as original flsun so didn't do that... Ok, so I went back to the original firmware and did g29 and the nirvana tune was back but probing near the top instead of down at the base... reset eeprom like I should probably have done with LVD firmware..

Re: FLSUN from AliExpres - 9 years ago
actually, the print just finished and the results are pretty much the same except for the bottom 5-6 layers which bonded a little better... Was extrusion rate changed at all in this firmware, compared to FLSUN original? Otherwise, I will check I don't have a blockage or perhaps switch back to the original fw to compare this piece...by deltamelter - Delta Machines
Re: FLSUN from AliExpres - 9 years ago
I really appreciate these modification to the calibration and levelling.... just a couple of questions and observations... Firstly, did the temperature sensing change between this and the stock FLSUN supplied firmware? I had my repetier dialed in to perfect print with 205 for first layer and 195c for the rest. I uploaded this firmware and my prints came out perfectly formed but almost no adhesby deltamelter - Delta Machines
