Z Axis Treaded Rod - 10 years ago

Hi Guys Run into a issue I was not expecting... Had trouble with the Z axis gears, like it was not meshing properly. Printed a set of iamburny mods and of I go.. just to find it randomly returning.. After many hours of fiddling I eventually found the culprit to be the M5 treaded rod and nut. Seems it has worn to the point were it gets stuck... Removed the rod and after inspection found it was

Printing z gear - 10 years ago

Hi All Having issues printing the z-gear from the Master set of gcode files. I have tried printing this one three times, with the same result every time.. The bottom layers seems to not be in line, ending in a slanted gear... I have made other prints, even the driven z gear in between, so do not think anything wrong with the printer. Thanks Casper

Re: Idle musings on mass production - 10 years ago

Hi Guys I would like to offer an idea.. What about, like me down in South Africa.... R9 000.00 / $900.00 is way more than the regular Joe can spend on anything.. I bought the Kit from RS, purely because with shipping and all the other issues around that 3D Printing was just out of reach.. Now, having my own printer, the plan is to start printing parts for friends and family, or who ever want s

Re: Circle GCode issue - 10 years ago

Hi Guys I most probaly cocked it up.... If I place the head in the center of the bed and run home X, it moves away from the Z-axis pillar... Things are starting to look up, I was wondering why I had to have the head hang out of the bed to do the Z homing..... Seems I am working in the wrong corner... Will check the wiring, see if I can find my mistake. Weird thou... I was able to get circle

Re: Circle GCode issue - 10 years ago

Hi Guys OK, sorry just had to run G28 from Web interface.... Seems it Homes the X axis, then moves to X100, home the Y axis and then the Z.... Problem is this.... it stops at X100, Y0 and does not return to X0 before moving on.... Also, the Z axis homing should be done over the alu tape, at the corner.. I had moved X0 to have the Z sensor over the foil at about 10 X 10 from the corner. So my ho

Re: Circle GCode issue - 10 years ago

Hi Ian Thanks for the reply... Firmware is updated to "FIRMWARE_VERSION:0.57a ELECTRONICSuet DATE:2014-01-16" SD-Image from the same zip file loaded on own SD card, One in box did not read. When I manually home all axis from the Web interface all seems in order, hence my question around G28 Can I remove this from the circle file and run like that? As a test, can I run G28 from the web interfac

Circle GCode issue - 10 years ago

Hi Guys From Cape Town, South Africa. Totally new to this environment, only got my Ormerod 5 days ago... lots of build fun thus far. On that note, I would like to ask a question around the circle file. The first 4 line of this file: G1 F2000 G28 G1 Z5 G1 X180 Y100 Thing is when I run this print from the Web server, G1 X180 Y100, moves to Y100, but somewhere like X230. This is of the workarea.
