Re: X-axis optical endstop failure - 11 years ago

In your printer settings in repetier or pronterface, do you have the X setup as max or min? whatever you have setup for the endstop should follow you setting. If it's supposed to be your max, then you should put the pins in the "+" side.

Quotertideas Quoteunnokeng Before I go, I saw a mistake on the instructions manual for the build. I had originally built my effector rods longer, but decided to redo it and follow the instructions. Well, it was wrong! It tells you that the rods should be at 224mm. With this whole kit scaled up, it will only give you an effective build diameter of 150mm. I already ordered some replacement ro

Re: X-axis optical endstop failure - 11 years ago

Your codes seem fine. Are you using RAMPS? If you are, double check which pins you plugged it into. The x-endstop is the second set of pins. I remember having this problem until I saw that mistake on mine.

Quotednguyenai598 Quoteunnokeng Quotednguyenai598 What was your temp for ABS and speed setting? For PLA? I had mine set for PLA=210 and ABS 235-240 at 60mm print speed. Once I go any faster, it starts slipping, that's why I printed out a geared extruder. Maybe that's where I went wrong. PLA temp was at 190C recommended. ABS was 230C. Where did you get your speed setting. I'm using DEFAULT

Hello everyone! Reporting back with some updates to my printer. I was able to print both ABS and PLA with the kit. I started printing out some upgrades to it. The gold arePLA and the red parts are ABS. Since all I got for a RAMPS mount was a bent acrylic, I printed out an enclosure for it that I will later mount on the side. For those wondering how the effector is built, you can see in one of

Re: Help with Ramps 1.4 and Arduino 2650 not connection (if anybody cares) - 11 years ago

strange thing to say indeed... If you have uploaded your Marlin, check to see if your setting in both Marlin and Pronterface is set to 250000. I believe the default in Pronterface is 115200.

Quotednguyenai598 I have the LCD and it was an extra add-on. There are some functions that can be change and controlled directly, and with the SD mounted on the left. I did see rubberband somewhere and also heard that changing the pulleys from 36 to 20 teeth helps to smooth out as well, but harder on the motors. I was just wondering if your LCD came with the kit. I do have one I bought from a

Quotednguyenai598 Finally got her working. The G-code file had the wrong offset, so it was trying to print in never-never land, thus crashing the print head trying to find the origin. Here are some pictures. I still need a bit of tweaking. The first major hurdle was a bad power supply right out of the box; it actually tripped my breaker. Didn't have time to ship it back, since my order took

Re: Folger Tech Kossel Delta 2020 Full 3D Printer Kit w/Auto-Level - 11 years ago

This is what I have so far. I don't have the bed fixed to the frame yet. I was using the L-brackets, because I thought they were it. Turns out, they were the upper endstop switch mounts which I though I was missing. I have Kapton tape on the bed now. I am using a fan mount for my E3D v6, so you won't have this blue piece in your kit. I read somebody's post that they had trouble putting the

QuoteKurzaa I hope everyone was able to get their kits in time for Christmas or will be receiving them shortly so they can have fun putting them together over the weekend. I was curious though about the 5-10 day shipping everyone was mentioning. I have only briefly looked at their website, but I was thinking it was 5-10 days BEFORE they would ship the kits as opposed to you receiving them in 5-1

Re: Folger Tech Kossel Delta 2020 Full 3D Printer Kit w/Auto-Level - 11 years ago

Here's an update. I have everything put together except the auto-bed leveling. I could not figure it out with all the pieces I received, so I will be doing manual leveling for now and print a FSR mount for it. I had Marlin uploaded to the Arduino, but the RAMPS board that came with the kit was dead. It wouldn't power up. Good thing I had a spare one. I will be sending Folgers a message to a

Re: Print problem. Not sure if slicer, or printer? - 11 years ago

I have had this issue before. You're probably running your non-print movements too fast. Check your slicer setting and see if it is set over 120. That's when I usually have the problem with mine.

I never received all those clear laser cut parts for mine. I believe that big plastic piece is your power supply mount. those little "L" angles i believe are your bed mounts. One may serve as a spool holder there....as for the rest, I have no idea. I received a completely different set for mine.

Re: Folger Tech Kossel Delta 2020 Full 3D Printer Kit w/Auto-Level - 11 years ago

hello everyone! I'm new here and I want to share my experience with Folger Tech so far. I ordered it November 28 and the 5-10 days shipping was BS. I received the kit December 24th. It took almost a month for it to come in. Although the shipping fee was free, I didn't care too much that it took that long. They need to update their page if they are not going to be able to follow through with
