Hi everyone, I'm getting problems setting up my custom printer with repetier 0.91 (used the online config wizard). I am getting uneven stepping from the XY motors. This is my setup: Azteeg X3 Repetier firmware Nema 17 motors 32 microstepping 320 mm/s configured for the motors Drive system configured in repetier hbot Everytime I move the axis, one motor is going slower. If I revert back to tby sam80 - Repetier
Well back with some update. The printer works in dryrun mode, I've changed the extruder heater and resistor and disabled the heated bed.. still the same problem. I'm totally clueless why it works in dryrun and not in normal mode even though I've changed almost everything except the board itself, but if the problem was the board, then it would not work in dry run either I would imagineby sam80 - Repetier
Hi guys, I'm having some awkward printing issues lately. The following are the settings: H-Bot config Azteeg X3 board. See config file for more info. I'm using repetier 0.83 firmware with repetier 0.95f host. I've included the logfile and config files The following happens when print starts; 1. homing 2. start of print 3. brim is done 4. first perimeter is done 5. complete freeze, azteeg stby sam80 - Repetier
In my original post I mentioned there were to potential setups I tried and each had it's own problem. "Quoteso my dilemma now is; - Host control for the z axis work properly ( press up goes up, down for down) but the bed crashed into head during print instead of moving away from it - or host control for the z axis are inverted ( press up goes down, down for up) and the print starts good and I wiby sam80 - Reprappers
Thanks again for your time, I asked the same question at the repetier section and it seems this is normal for the host software of repetier and it was my wrong interpretation of the host softwares Z buttons, check here for the answer to the question;by sam80 - Reprappers
thanks for the fast reply and support on your firmware/host software, keep up the good work!by sam80 - Repetier
"Arrows up increase distance of bed-extruder." Yes this is indeed the case, arrow up increases the distance between the bed and extruder, and arrow down decreases the distance between the bed and extruder. yet , yes, visually the bed goes down when you press the up button (increase in bed-extruder distance). so this is normal and the firmware settings were correct, my interpretation of the hostby sam80 - Repetier
Quoteuncle_bob As you look down at the print bead from the top, the zero position needs to be either in the upper right or lower left hand corner. Depending on how your bed travels and whether you use min or max end stops your switch locations will be in this or that position to make that all happen. do you mean that the X and Y endstops have influence on which direction the Z axis will move durby sam80 - Reprappers
Hi guys I'm having a little bit of a problem with my setup, I'm running it on a AzteegX3 with repetier firmware on it. The homing for all the axis goes well, but when it starts printing it moves the z axis into the head each layer instead of moving away from it. Now I have tried inverting and reversing it to get it to work, and it does work, but then the controls on the host for the Z axis are iby sam80 - Repetier

I approached the idea of a printed "reprap magazine" about 2 years ago and contacted some chinese counterparts for printing them. For 5000 prints, production cost would be around 2 USD . this was excluding shipping cost. I took in account an shipping cost of 500/600 usd. This was for a full color magazine, 80 pages. When I contacted local publishers/print companies, the cost per magazine forby sam80 - RepRap magazine

Right so if you patent a idea in US, and you want to extend the patent globally, the company has to abide by the EU patent law and should produce a prototype if they want to "protect their property" when filing for a patent in EU... Very sad and disappointing if the US is allowing to patent a idea. because indeed as mentioned before... you can just go to makerfaire and start patenting whatever yby sam80 - General
interesting, I recently read a article about a company who owns a patent on printing through a network and they were knocking on your average small company for damages and compensations. The funny bit, they had the right to do so. The printer companies were not infringing their patent... but the moment when you connect the printer to a network... then you are infringing it apparantly do tby sam80 - General

Right but how did they get a patent while Cubify printer already makes use of 3D printing through network? and wouldn't 3D systems be the first to overrule such patent?by sam80 - General
Maybe it has been discussed before, but has anyone looked at some new patents of makerbot guys? I'm not a expert on these things but did bre pettis "INVENTED" this?? 3D printing through webserver/network/social media doesn't the Cube 3D printer have a wifi wireless option to send files to it ? and don't you have to invent it before you can patent these things?

Right, back with some updates. my checklist; - check E-steps (were correct) - check wobble when extruder is hot (altough it's bolted by M6 and threadlock fluid applied on it) (were correct) - Check belt tightness (it's now like guitar string) (were correct) - check vibration (were correct) - check XYZ steps per mm. (were correct) - put a fan (still not done) - print at 20/30 mm/s speeds to cheby sam80 - Printing
QuoteHowever you seem to have other quality issues to sort out first before tackling the curling. Slow your printer right down to say 30mm/s for now and lower your acceleration/jerk loads. Make sure your belts are tight and ensure your hotend has zero wobble when hot. Make sure there are no loose fixings on your printer allowing excessive vibration. Confirm your e-calibration is bang on. Thanksby sam80 - Printing
I'm having some major issues with regards to curling and sagging. any possible solution and theories are welcome. I don't have a cooling fan pointed towards it. specs; running on QU-BD exgtruder, 0.35mm nozzle black PLA 190 degrees heated bed the printed yoda head was at 100mm/s infill and 50mm/s perimeter. 50% infill. thanks for your helpby sam80 - Printing
