Re: Duet 0.6 + Duex Issue - 10 years ago
Quotedc42 To get the second heater to register in the web interface, you need to add a M563 command in config.g to create the second tool. You may well find that your config.g file already has a second M563 command in it, but commented out. The command should be: M563 P1 H2 D1 Regarding the IR sensor, does the red LED flash four times on power up, and then light up when it is near a target? Ifby DRTak - Controllers
Re: Ebay SINTRON Kossel Mini full kit - 10 years ago
Quotedc42 Ordinary endstop microswitches are adequate if they are used correctly and they are of good quality. I suggest you do some tests to see what the repeatability is. Here is one such test: 1. Create a copy of your bed.g file, with S-1 on the last G30 command instead of S6 (assuming S6 is what you are using). Make sure it includes a G28 command near the beginning to home the printer beforeby DRTak - Delta Machines

Re: Ebay SINTRON Kossel Mini full kit - 10 years ago
Quotehacker QuoteDRTak Way back I 3d printed the circular Mercedes sign calibration part. Then laser printed the matching *.pdf. It said impossibly that x tower was 120 deg y tower was 121deg and 120 deg on z tower. For a total of 361 deg. So if my build is not true 120 deg from each other will this be causing these errors.

Re: Ebay SINTRON Kossel Mini full kit - 10 years ago
Quotedc42 By default, the firmware will let you go down to -0.5mm on a delta. If after auto calibration the heights are inconsistent, that probably means that you have an inconsistent trigger height for the IR sensor. This can be caused by the bed surface not being sufficiently uniform, but on a delta printer a common cause is that the effector is tilting slightly as it translates in the XY planby DRTak - Delta Machines
Re: Ebay SINTRON Kossel Mini full kit - 10 years ago
Quoteohfurryone I was trying to use Marlin master instead of 1.04, however using 1.04 doesn't seem to help. It probes each place randomly 3-10 times along the X axis only moving on the Y axis once, then hits the bed after 30-40 probes. The steppers seem to be wired correctly as the printer homes fine.

Re: What do you think of this Chinese Delta all-metal printer? Is it worth the price? - 10 years ago
Realtor, I think the sintron is the best bet. Their support is amazing. If you build your own expect to spend more. If you fry a component you might be lost as what to do. And buy a replacement part. Unless you already built a kit and know what you are doing. You might be way over your head making one from scratch. If u get stuck no one can help u.by DRTak - Delta Machines
