Quotechris81 Hi all, I now followed this thread till here and got some valuable information along the way. I also built a Sintron Kossel here, but went for the Duet 0.8.5 board from the start (Sintron did not accept my request to ship the kit without their IMHO crappy electronics).

Re: Ebay SINTRON Kossel Mini full kit - 10 years ago
Oddly I have tried all 3 wires hooked up. It works great until the endstop is activated then the whole system reboots? So the RED LED light on the duet lights up correctly. But the second you touch the Y endstop it blinks and reboots itself. I assume it shorts itself out? Tried M574 command and seemed to fix the issue. However Added this line M574 Y2 S0. This inverted the Y tower endstop toby DRTak - Delta Machines

Very true. What I do when the machine is off, I manually pull the effector to zero. Then turn the machine on. then let it home. So it can go the whole distance of towers. But Im still lost as to why it would do that.by DRTak - Delta Machines

QuoteGrAndAG I've never blowing to my RAMP and it's still ok.

Quotenebbian Quoteo_lampe Quotelloydy Is the ArduinoMega not fast enough? It is definitely the first bottleneck you will encounter, when you have your printer tuned and try to print faster. Circles are the worst. Any 32bit controller will do, but IMHO Duet boards with DC42s firmware are best for deltas. -Olaf Don't drink the kool-aid. Marlin/Ramps works fine and makes lovely circles.

About the fan shroud. I have an issue. A lot of them do not have an IR sensor attachment. So I am looking for a universal Kossel fan shroud.

I might try this object fan to rig it in a different location so that I can print with a fan.by DRTak - Delta Machines

I think I might know what you are talking about. To this day, My Y tower shakes like crazy. When I home, the y carriage goes to the endstop. Then shakes like an earthquake. Once it does that, the next time it stops. But if I shut the machine off, it does it again. The 2nd time of homing it will stop. I have not found out what does that yet. It always happens with a cold machine. The machine hasby DRTak - Delta Machines
Re: Ebay SINTRON Kossel Mini full kit - 10 years ago
If you just want an extra fan, I initially hooked up an on/off switch to a fan that was hooked directly to the power out of the Sintron power supply V+ and V- lead. If I wanted to cool the power supply I would turn it on. But now I have it hooked directly to be always cooling the power supply itself. I will eventually have to make a Y splitter and another lead to feed into my future object coolinby DRTak - Delta Machines

Quotegkr Hello HaGeEm, GrAndAG, Tha_Reaper, and hacker: Your expert opinions were invaluable. Much appreciated again!! 1. Printed a object-fan-shroud (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:451667). 2. Removed the Sintron supplied 40mm fan from the old hacked up heat-sink fan-mount (sitting idle), and attached it to the newly printed object fan-shroud. It fit perfectly and onto the J-Head mount.
