Quoteskaha My question is does anyone use the ducted fan that is supposed to start up after the first layer is down ? Terry I have a 3DP11/3DP12 the duct fan works correctly, and can set exactly what layer for it to start and change the layer speed on any or all layers thereafter.

Quoteerniehatt Having problems with the Z axis, one side seems to be either running fast , or the other slow. I lift it up 100mm and one side is perfect but the other one reads about 5mm more. Not sure whats up here, is it possible to use the E1 driver to run them separately, and will it work.?

I looked into your configuration.h Though the line I was expecting to have a number has zero, Have you changed this but not flashed to controller!!!!!!!!!!! #define Z_CLEARANCE_DEPLOY_PROBE 0 // Z Clearance for Deploy/Stow Some times after flashing you may need to do the flowing procedures.

QuoteRepRot With the Ramps board I am using, there are only 5 stepper drivers, normally 3 for XYZ axis and 2 for extruders (E0 & E1). What happens you use the second extruder for the second Z axis, thus you can only have one extruder. I have the Z2 pins setup ( Dir/step/enable) set the same as the E1. Basically enabling Dual Z drivers in Marlin then makes the second Extruder driver becomeby Roberts_Clif - Prusa i3 and variants
HMI. (Human Machine Interface) QuoteTheBoy Each stepper motor would still be 4 wire but the driver would run off the plc vs the micro controller and utilize the +step commands. With plc it makes it easier to add that conveyor belt, robotic arm, piston ect and if purchased used the plc can sell for less than some boards while being more versatile with modifications.

You need to determine if it is a sata Hdd then. How did the laptop stop working??? This will not work it the Laptop died because of a crashed Hdd. The easiest way is with a Hard Disk Docking Station Remove the Laptop Hard Drive - Connect the Hard Drive Station Via USB to your desktop - Slide the Laptop Sata Hdd into the Docking Station then turn on the docking station.

The minimum recommended wire size is 12 to 14AWG I use a Business Radio Power wire rated at 20amps from the Power supply to the Controller. Why, because have many left over from Installing Motorola Business Radios. (HKN4191B) Stepper motor cables are so inexpensive on E-Bay, though the wire size for a 2amp Stepper is 24 Gaugeby Roberts_Clif - Prusa i3 and variants
The striping appear to be uniform, this comes from the lead screw connector's being off center. (It wobbles when it turns) On my 3D Printer i wrapped a single layer of electricians tape around the lead screw before inserting into the coupler. This allowed for a smoother turning radius. Model surface imperfections can also occur if the XY Belts are not tight allowing for movement.by Roberts_Clif - Prusa i3 and variants
Quotelmcbmai I think, I found the problem - while printing this particular part, my XY steppmotors overheat to the level that mainboard resets itself. I reduced driver current and the temperature went slightly down (I can at least touch the motors now), but they are still rather hot. I'm looking into options of attaching temperature sensors, heatsinks and fans to the motors. Then I will switch faby Roberts_Clif - Firmware - Marlin
