Quotethevisad Quotedavidf01 Does anyone know how I can test my RAMPS board? I plug in the power and the light comes on the power supply but I'm not getting any indication that the RAMPS board is getting power? I can't seem to get any reading from the stepper drivers. Is there a way to check if the RAMPS board is shot? Thanks The boards have an LED that is populated in this area (green circle) tby davidf01 - Delta Machines

Ok I have made it to the point where I can plug this in and set the stepper drivers to correct V-ref. Before I plug it in can anyone give this picture a look and say if it looks like it is wired up correctly? I would like to avoid frying something if someone can spot something that is not correct. Also I see on the google docs page there is two firmware files. Kossel RevB and Kossel RevBPE canby davidf01 - Delta Machines

I have installed my slider belts and i'm not sure if I need to adjust something.The belts do not completely slide along the inside part of where it attaches to the slider. I adjusted the lower toothed pulley out as far as I could but it looks like the belt will be touching the corner bracket that holds the frame together. Is this setup ok or is there something I should adjust? Here is a pictureby davidf01 - Delta Machines

Thanks for the reply's folks this is helpfull. I found a connector. On a side note, my power cord is not color coded except for the green ground wire. How can I tell what side to connect to neutral and what side to connect to power?by davidf01 - Delta Machines

Strip the end of the wire back approximately half and inch and repeat the process for the short pig tale wire that came in your kit." I dont have a connector to do that with.

Ok a few questions for you. The instructions and pictures dont match up all the time and I would like to know what way id correct for the wiring. This picture DSC00178.JPG and this picture DSC00179.JPG on the google docs page show the Inductive sensor blue wire connected to two different places on the power supply. The instructions say Brown = 12v, Blue = Ground and Black = Signal So I'm guessiby davidf01 - Delta Machines

Re: Folger Tech Kossel Delta 2020 Full 3D Printer Kit w/Auto-Level - 10 years ago
Quick question for you. Can anyone tell me if this wiring looks correct? The instructions has different writing on the circuit board then the one I have. I'm just trying to make sure I'm setting this up correctly before I put power on it. My sliders fit very tight on the vertical uprights. I'm not sure how tight they should fit but I have to push that last wheel onto the rail pretty hard. I'm wby davidf01 - Delta Machines

Should I be worried about this? My sliders all seem to be reversed compared to the install instructions. Will this effect the printer and or the parts that attach to it? Slider Imageby davidf01 - Delta Machines

I have seen that some people were missing some of the bolts and I would like to get a jump on what I will need if I dont have it. I'm guessing the Rev B build PDF is not up to date.

Quotehideehoo One other thing I noticed on my Rev B is very sticky sliders. Turns out two of my three carriages seem a bit narrow, causing the adjustable tension wheel to tilt and the post to rub against the 2020 beam. I filed a flat in the post to clear the beam and things are better, but they are still really tight on the beam (even the "good" one).

Re: How should I fix these gaps? - 10 years ago
I think you are having an issue with retraction speed and/or length. Try turning off retraction on layer change to see if that helps. You can change min travel after retraction to a larger number like 15 to test You should read this thread it is very similar.by davidf01 - Delta Machines

Thanks cman8, That confirms what I was thinking but since I don't know what should be in a kossel kit I couldn't tell for sure. I'm so angry at this point I'm not sure I want anything to do with Folger other then a refund. Can I use any of these parts on the kossel if I still want it? On a side note anyone else getting a 502 bad gateway for these forms today?by davidf01 - Delta Machines
Re: Folger Tech Kossel Delta 2020 Full 3D Printer Kit w/Auto-Level - 10 years ago
I just received my kit and I'm extremely disappointed. Apparently they still cant pack and ship this product correctly. I have no metal corners, I have no carbon fiber rods, no packing list so I have no idea what should be in the box or not. The shipping label says "Rev A" and I ordered Rev B. I think somebody mixed the parts for the kossel and the I3. Some of the packages are not labeled at all.by davidf01 - Delta Machines
