3.5 touch screen calibration - 7 years ago

I added a raspberry pi to me Folger tech printer running octiprint. I mounted a 3.5 touch screen display running touchui so I can control it with out logging into web page. The problem is my axis are all screwed up. I move left it goes up etc. I have tried the directions to calibrate that came with the touch screen: With no luck, I think that it is pulling the calibration from somewhere else b

Re: Folger Tech Kossel Delta 2020 Full 3D Printer Kit w/Auto-Level - 7 years ago

So i went back to my non working 2020 kossel replaced the heatbrake with a pte lined one, reprinted the original sensor holder, and replaced a faulty power supply, moves much better now. I am setting up the calibration and working on the z-probe off set. position according to repitier is 100 x 100 y and 2 z. I am unable to move beyond 100 in x or y I can go negitive then move back though (i.e. I

Re: Folger Tech Kossel Delta 2020 Full 3D Printer Kit w/Auto-Level - 8 years ago

I have yet to print with mine. I got a E3dv6 clone so it does not fit with the sensor. So I played with tinker cad made a holder that would bolt onto the 30mm fan since the E3 has the clip on cooling fan, well now my sensor hits my arms. I have a Wanhoa I3 (clone) to print parts with. I am beginning to think about just removing the inductive sensor so I can use the printer.

Re: Folger Tech Kossel Delta 2020 Full 3D Printer Kit w/Auto-Level - 8 years ago

I used a 15k and 10k resistors. Power supply putting out 11.25 will adjusted it tomorrow and use the odds and ends to try to get to 5 volts. So 3.25 may be to low to trip endstop. Well with using two 10k ohms resistors i was able to get 7.25 volts. The probe is now tripping the end stop. When i go to set my z probe offset i get 30 in the y but I also get 15 in the x. The directions show only

I have been stuck on setting up the inductive sensor. I have blue to power supply -, brown to power supply +, on the black signal wire I have a 15k ohm resistor inline from black signal wire from the sensor sensor with a 10k ohm resistor T in after the 15k on it's way back to my board. When I measure the signal wire I have 12 volts with the light on the sensor off an 0 with it on. I have the MK

Re: Folger Tech 2020 i3 Printer Kit (Official Thread) - 8 years ago

I've tried the x end stop plugged into the last spot and the one beside it (min and max). When I hit the home button the stepper twitches a little then locks in place. It's the last thing holding us up we have everything else ready to go. And as far as the x stepper plug itself the board is labled and I have tried another board i have here so it's a software issue/endstop.

Re: Folger Tech 2020 i3 Printer Kit (Official Thread) - 8 years ago

I hope someone can help. My friend just purchased this machine and built it but we can not get the x-axis to move. I have placed it on the Y axis of the ramps board to test it and it works fine there. I tried another ramps adrino board with the same result. I have changed direction from 1 to -1. m119 shows x-max trigged. Can any one help?

Re: Folger Tech 2020 i3 Printer Kit (Official Thread) - 9 years ago

Thanks for the help guys I have my print centered now. Though my Y axis seems to have changed - and + directions and I have no clue why. My X axis stop was also not in the right spot. But it is centered now I need to change the print size down to 180x180 and I am also going to do a rework of my bed. The bas plate is off level I think and I have a new black PCB heater for it.

Can anyone shed some light on how I center my bed better? It acts like I need to mount the endstop farther back but how? Maybe these pictures will help:

Re: Folger Tech 2020 i3 Printer Kit (Official Thread) - 9 years ago

I just tried a "larger" print a case for the smoothieboard for the delta I am building but when I try to print it the printer runs off the back of the bed!! I tried changing where I set the item down in repitier with out luck. The case should fit with about 15 mm between it and the edge of the glass bed. It keeps coming off the rear near the y endstop edge right over the Y drive motor. Should I s

Re: Big warping problem - 9 years ago

Don't trust laser thermos, use a Multimeter with a thermistor. What type of plastic is that? ABS or PLA? PLA should print with a nozzle temp about 180 and should stick fine to a 60 degree bed. However ABS will need about 210 at the nozzle to print and a bed of 100. Do you by any chance have a fan blowing on the print/or bed? Some hotend fans end up hitting the bed leading to warping/loose prints.

bed heats up then decays 1st 40 layers rebounds - 9 years ago

I have no clue what is going on with this. I have ran PID autotune, I have checked bed temp with my multimeter, I have tried printing inside an encloser.I have tried abs slurry, hair spray, and glue stick all my prints pop free once the temp drops to about 100 (ABS). The bed heats up to 110 or 115 then just slowly decays but after awhile it builds back up. I have tried letting bed pre-heat for lo

I rebuilt my z-axis now I have this issue with my cube test prints a little sagging on top extruder steps? though I have my extruder tuned for 100 mm (getting 99.98). and that blob on the one corner is where the nozzle goes up to the next Z level retraction maybe? ABS nozzle 230 bed 110.

Re: Folgertech printing backward - 9 years ago

Quotekoenejet So I got my first printer, and decided on the Folgertech prusa i3 aluminum frame. I had issues getting the x axis to move and home correctly. I got help on this forum for that, so thanks all who helped. I thought all was well until I printed a part that was not symmetricle, and realized that it printed inverted about the x axis. To me the problem is obvious. The printer homes at

Re: i've got wobbly cubes - 9 years ago

Check your belts are tight and any backlash you can tighten in your axis. Also just curious try sliceing it with cura and see if it looks the same.
