Are you talking about the pluggable screw terminal block?by jaydmdigital - General Mendel Topics
What speed are you trying to move the Z? What is your Z acceleration? What current limit do you have on your Z stepper driver? The sound you hear is called slippage and it's the pulsing of the motors coils converted to audio because the permanent magnet rotor is stalled.by jaydmdigital - General Mendel Topics
G0 F8000 X-58 Y-34 Z0 That should but the effector in front of the X tower. Does it? You set the endstop offsets (M666 in Marlin or whatever it is in Repetier FW) at a point in front of each tower before you mess with the DELTA_SMOOTH_ROD_OFFSET value.by jaydmdigital - Delta Machines
I would still recommend you half your homing speed (looks like 200*60 and 100*60 is more appropriate). You have Y labels on the tower in the rear. Can you confirm if you have your delta as such: (rear) Z * X Y (front) Quotebrendanjerwin jaydmdigital, I've added a couple of 'raw' videos to the g-plus album: Hereby jaydmdigital - Delta Machines
Congrats, curious to see how well it prints and what it sound like while printing. Can you do a video sans music? At what speed are you homing, seems a bit too fast IMO.by jaydmdigital - Delta Machines
You drilled it yourself? Or is this a non E3D you are talking about?by jaydmdigital - General
I recently upgrade my 1.75mm E3D with a 0.6mm nozzle. Happily all of the jams I was experiencing (due to slow extrudes coupled with frequent retracts) went away, my print quality is awesome (still using 0.2mm layers) and prints are faster due to the wider extrusion. I plan to do the same for my 3mm E3D hot end.by jaydmdigital - General
That's a Makergear Mendel (not made anymore), and that's a genuine Makergear BigHead nozzle. I had no luck with a 0.35 nozzle back then and so I use a 0.5mm on my V3's. A new nozzle is $10 but I'd be happy to send you an old one (you pay shipping) I have sitting in a box. I never cared for the "big heads" myself.

I suspect, based on past history, that you had you endstops connected to the wrong pins on the header and were shorting Vcc to ground (not unlike holding the reset button). -Jayby jaydmdigital - General Mendel Topics
Care to attach your configuration.h file?by jaydmdigital - General Mendel Topics
Yes reflash. Also, when you say all wiring removed, do you mean you unplugged the RAMPS from the Arduino, or just the motor/end stop/fan/heater wiring?by jaydmdigital - General Mendel Topics
Doesn't look like it.by jaydmdigital - Delta Machines
I started looking into it here: Yes you can probe a square bed.by jaydmdigital - Delta Machines
Actually I think this one better if you want Johann's probe code and M66 end stop offsets. I myself don't use the probe so I'm using the main Marlin branch with the delta configuration settings. Also, a lot of mini Kossel and Kossel users at -Jayby jaydmdigital - Delta Machines
You mean the hotend? Assuming you have a JHead and the barrel won't stay in the insulator?by jaydmdigital - General Mendel Topics
So you already have performed the calibration steps here: and have flat travel? If each of your towers is built the same (same motor, same pulley, same belt) then steps per mm will be the same for all 3.by jaydmdigital - Delta Machines
Found a photo - that guy used it as a strain relief. I just use Kapton tape to secure mine and a wire tie to strin relieve using the thicker heater wires. QuotephordThere's an "extra" hole bored through the heater block. What's that for? Not the extra thermistor hole. I get that. But parallel to the heater element hole there is a small hole bored all the way through. Not sure what that is toby jaydmdigital - General
You you first figure out where you needed to send the effector to position it to deploy the probe. For arguement sake let's use just Johann coded: G1 X25 Y93 Z100 F7000 ; get set to deploy using the Z tower belt G1 X0 F120 ; slowly move to the left to X=0 Y93 Z100. Probe should be deployed ;Now you do your G29 sequence ... ; Now to retract you need to know the coordinates of the edge you willby jaydmdigital - Delta Machines
I think you misunderstood. Can you verify if your RAMPS has D1 and D2 http://reprap.org/wiki/RAMPS_1.4#D1.2C_D2_-_Diodes The second image shows where they should be.

QuotePower Supply with diode If your board has a 1N4004 diode soldered in, do not apply more than 12 V to it. Original flavor Arduino Mega are rated to 12 V input. While Arduino Mega 2560 can take 20 V, it is not recommended."]by jaydmdigital - Delta Machines
My experience: I have a Prusa i2 and a mini Kossel. I have not had any parts that I could not print on both (the i2 printed the mini, and the mini has printed over 10 other mini's). I've no idea what you print or plan to print but bigger is not always better and in this case it might just be wasted space. My i2 takes up roughly 2 square feet of desk space whereas I have the mini sitting on a 16"by jaydmdigital - Delta Machines
This sounds very familiar and was posted by a user named pezgarden on Google groups recently Quotedisneytoy M666 Question: I just measured XYZ and center. The tip just drags on a thick sheet of paper. (X) G1 X-70 Y-40 Z2.1 ( you will notice I could not get closer to the X tower because of my fan) i hope that does not make a difference.by jaydmdigital - Delta Machines
This is wrong and all M666 values must be negative and have a decimal value. Or put another way, you can't move any higher than the endstop you just bumped and the values are defines as floating point. Quoteuncle_bob The numbers in M666 can go both ways (+ and -). If you have a typical Delta and it homes at max rather than at min, the offsets still work. They just work in conjunction with the seby jaydmdigital - Delta Machines
Looking at the Kapton tape and how it turned black and knowing I've taken my hot end to 310C (overshoot for the toque procedure) and both thermistor and tape are fine...I would say you went well above 300C Quotetjb1 So...anyone printing with an E3D should probably know the limit is 300c or the thermistor dies. Here are a few SS of Repetier when the thermistor died. This happened while attemptby jaydmdigital - General
Quotenophead I doubt DRV8825 can actually do 1/32 microstepping with low voltage motors. What does this mean? and what do do consider a low voltage motor? I have all 3 steppes on my delta set to 1/32 (200 steps per mm). Prints fine. Yes I have read your step stuck fast decay for the 4988, and the same for the DRV 8825 but I have not seen the same issue. I use a 4988 on my 5.1:1 extruder at 1/16by jaydmdigital - General
Another possibility is that you hotend is not secure and "wobbles". How are you mounting it and can you move the tip around easily?by jaydmdigital - General

Prime and Suck of 1. Have you tried no Prime and increased Suck to 3? Also, to be sure, you did change nozzle to 0.4 (it's not shown in your screenshots). I don't use Kisslicer and have no actual experience to share.by jaydmdigital - General
Greenman100 why not just post a video to quiet the skeptics? How many are printing PLA and what temp chart are you using in Marlin? I got tired of the constant jams so I put my MakerGear V3 back on. Not sure why, but the MG works fine at 180C but the E3D I was running at 215. If the filament I'm using is too close to 3MM then any little bit of heat swell causes a jam. I have similar issue with tby jaydmdigital - General
