Re: Flashing new board - 2 years ago
It's been a few years since I used Marlin but in my experience RepRapFirmware has been superior to Marlin on my delta. If a duet board is out of your budget, you can also run it on cheaper LPC and STM32(recommended) based boards.by thehankinator - Delta Machines
Re: Improved Anycubic Delta Part Cooling - 2 years ago
Thanks for posting this! I've had trouble getting adequate part on my delta but never bothered to research what makes a good fan. Comparing the BFB0412HHA-A to my GDSTIME GDB4010 (sleeve bearings) they are rated for 15% more CFM and over double the static pressure! I ended up getting a BFB0412HHA-A and also a 5015 size fan (MF50151VX-B00U-A99). I can't fit 2 fans on my effector but hopefully eiby thehankinator - Delta Machines

Re: Printer crashes in the Drivebelts - 3 years ago
I don't know if this would cause your problem or not but this section in your config is suspect: #define X_DRIVER_TYPE 2208 #define Y_DRIVER_TYPE 2208 #define Z_DRIVER_TYPE 2208 I think it should be #define X_DRIVER_TYPE TMC2208 #define Y_DRIVER_TYPE TMC2208 #define Z_DRIVER_TYPE TMC2208 or #define X_DRIVER_TYPE TMC2208_STANDALONE #define Y_DRIVER_TYPE TMC2208_STANDALONE #define Z_DRIVby thehankinator - Delta Machines
Re: Nozzle Scraping during Travel Moves - 3 years ago
How violent is the scraping? Does the scraping go away when you reduce the printing and travel speed by a significant amount (50% or more)? I vaguely remember having this problem with Marlin but not RepRapFirmware but that may have been a coincidence. Dual extrusion systems like Chimera suffer from a light scraping from the inactive nozzle, different situation but similar cause - the nozzle is mby thehankinator - Delta Machines

Re: New to 3d printing, Marlin 1.1.9 compilation error, I need help !!! - 3 years ago
How are you changing the probe offset? (config file, gcode, etc..) If you change it in the Marlin config file, you will need to do a "load defaults" (or something similar, I've forgotten the exact text) otherwise it just uses whatever was stored in EEPROM. If you can't even help the motor, it seems like it would either be some kind of obstruction or not hot enough. If it's an all metal hotend,by thehankinator - Delta Machines

Re: Delta Kossel K800XL - calibration Z - Crash/Reboot printer - 3 years ago
The best I can come up with is that the printer doesn't think it's homed. Have you checked the endstops with M119 since installing 1.1.9.1?by thehankinator - Delta Machines
Re: Delta Kossel K800XL - calibration Z - Crash/Reboot printer - 3 years ago
That's strange. I looked at the code, the only things that I can see those menu items need are DELTA_CALIBRATION_MENU and that the axis is homed. Is it just Z that is missing or is X, Y, Center also missing?by thehankinator - Delta Machines
Re: Delta Kossel K800XL - calibration Z - Crash/Reboot printer - 3 years ago
Are you using the Kossel XL example config? If so you probably need to uncomment DELTA_AUTO_CALIBRATION in Configuration.hby thehankinator - Delta Machines

Re: New to 3d printing, Marlin 1.1.9 compilation error, I need help !!! - 3 years ago
You will need to adjust DELTA_RADIUS to fix a concave/convex bed but auto calibrate (G33) should do that for you. Have you verified all your endstops are working with M119? If you manually trigger the z probe with your hand about half way down during G33, does it stop or just keep going?by thehankinator - Delta Machines
Re: Delta Kossel K800XL - calibration Z - Crash/Reboot printer - 3 years ago
It should have stopped when your hand triggered the probe. I haven't heard of "Marlin-bugfix2650-1.1.x". In the releases I used, there would be a "PROBE FAIL" or like message, not a reboot. I would try Marlin 1.1.9.1 If your current config is not compatible you could try the Kossel XL config from Marlin as a starting placeby thehankinator - Delta Machines
Re: Delta Kossel K800XL - calibration Z - Crash/Reboot printer - 3 years ago
What happens if you manually trigger the probe with your hand during calibration? I'm thinking like half way between the bed and the probe when homed.by thehankinator - Delta Machines

Re: Ordering parts need advice regarding linear rail - 3 years ago
Those look like the same rails on an Anycubic Kossel Linear Plus. The manual on page 6 says to use M3 8mm bolts. I'm not sure about the T-nut though. Hope that helps.by thehankinator - Delta Machines

Re: Kossel Rod length question - 3 years ago
I think Hayden sells rods that are within 0.03mm of each other. The set he sold me are within 0.01. I also made my own rods with a jig like this one I doubt they were better than 0.1mm but the printer worked fine. My printer came with two rods 2mm longer than the rest. It took me over a year to notice it. Higher precision is always better but for general purpose (IMO) if you can get all the rodsby thehankinator - Delta Machines
Re: Not sure how to fix this calibration? error - 3 years ago
Deltas can be a challenge to get calibrated correctly. Marlin has example configurations for Kossel, you could compare yours to this one (Mini right?) if you haven't already. Have you confirmed that the rods are all the same length? Are you using the auto-configuration function with manual probing or are you doing something else? When the head is at X-85 Y0 Z10, are the rods tight or is there sby thehankinator - Delta Machines
Re: Not sure how to fix this calibration? error - 3 years ago
That's a strange one. If you jog the head to X0 Y0 Z10 then to X-85 slowly, does the head move in parallel to the bed? Are you using any of the automatic bed leveling features? IMO If you can, it'd be worth fixing the probe to do automatic calibration, if nothing else it's faster.by thehankinator - Delta Machines
Re: Delta width rods + carriages - 3 years ago
The distance between arms change alone shouldn't change the printable area. But effector offset can, did you change that? I think the stock effector is 31mm or 32mm. Even though it has a 240mm build plate my Anycubic Kossel Linear Plus was advertised as having a 230mm build volume and in my experiance was a mm or two less than that.by thehankinator - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel display problem - 3 years ago
Sounds like the probe isn't enabled in Marlin. Did you go through that readme I linked? That tell you how to set up the probe. The setting is ANYCUBIC_PROBE_VERSION.by thehankinator - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel display problem - 3 years ago
I'm guessing the probe is not set properly yet. If you haven't already read this guide and set the probe type (https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Configurations/blob/release-1.1.9/config/examples/delta/Anycubic/Kossel/README.md). The probe is either NO (normally open) or NC (normally closed), if that's setup wrong it could cause the head to crash into the bed. Using M119 to verify the probe is woby thehankinator - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel display problem - 3 years ago
Hmm that is strange. I'd focus on one endstop at a time. It's likely a hardware problem so you could try checking these two things: 1) Check the endstop at the connector (that plugs into the Trigorilla) with a multimeter continuity test 2) Verify it's connected to the Trigorilla properly Regarding your heatup problem, you'll need to autotune the PID for the hotend and bed. Make sure they are cby thehankinator - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel display problem - 3 years ago
Why can't you connect to it with Pronterface? The USB cable should continue to work regardless of how the board is powered.by thehankinator - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel display problem - 3 years ago
How is the board powered right now? For anything to run I'm guessing the power jumper will need to be in the DC position and the 5A and 11A terminals connected to the 12 VDC supply. As for the endstops this doesn't seem to be your problem however I'm surprised only 1 is triggered. Did you go through all 3 endstops one by one and test them? ie hold press one down at a time see that they react proby thehankinator - Delta Machines
Re: Kossel display problem - 3 years ago
That config looks like a delta so I think you are on the right track. Before attempting to home the machine have you verified the endstops are triggering properly (M119)? With your latest build of the firmware do you still get the the "printer halted" error when you try to home the machine (G28)? A different error message?
