Safari 9.0.2 on OSx Yosemite Somehow my new roll of filament seems to refuse to unwind properly with the exiting strand getting caught under the other layers so it sticks or as it just did, pulls the reel over completely off its stand.by Davek0974 - Ormerod
Fixed the t0 in Slic3r and its finally running again now, one last issue is repeated Ajax comms failure in browser?? It seems to reconnect ok, and I'm printing from the SD card so problem really but odd still.by Davek0974 - Ormerod
Great, yes its a new file but still says T1, will have a look at that now ; generated by Slic3r 1.1.7 on 2015-12-24 at 10:16:28 ; perimeters extrusion width = 0.50mm ; infill extrusion width = 0.87mm ; solid infill extrusion width = 0.87mm ; top infill extrusion width = 0.85mm G21 ; set units to millimeters T1 ; use extruder 1 G1 Z5 F5000 ; lift nozzle M140 S65 ; set bed temp M116 ; wait for eby Davek0974 - Ormerod
This thing is doing my head in Ok, tried again today, seems ok, heated the head and bed ok, managed to home all axes ok. load a code file, all the heaters turn and it starts printing with a cold head! what am i doing wrong now??????by Davek0974 - Ormerod
I think it did the x and y then tried to home the z off the Y0 end of the bed, i pushed the stop button before it jammedby Davek0974 - Ormerod
Ah ok, so what is the actual homing command? Not the same g-code I'm used to.by Davek0974 - Ormerod
Ok, getting there now i think I have the X, Y, Z homing OK using the individual buttons but the HomeAll code is duff and does not seem to work, I think i need to make a new HomeAll using combined X, Y, Z, files maybe?? Also the screen does not update properly, it works once or twice then although i still have control the values do not update so still cant use it I can heat the head but no teby Davek0974 - Ormerod
I only have a blue wire on that connector strip, moved it to pin5 still not workingby Davek0974 - Ormerod
Ok finally got another chance to play around The X axis is now running in the right direction but the homing limit switch does not work anymore, this is using DC42's modulated IR board. Any ideas??by Davek0974 - Ormerod
Ah, Mk1 or Mk2 was not mentioned, I presumed a Mk1, apologies.by Davek0974 - Ormerod
Hi there should be a label on the PSU? I don't know the value but they are a bog-standard PC PSU AFIK A bigger one will do no harm.by Davek0974 - Ormerod
Ok i'll swap the motor round and the blue wire was as it is in the manual. Thanks for the help, will have to wait for a break to see if it all runs againby Davek0974 - Ormerod
Getting there, new web interface looks good, connected immediately too. Y homes ok Z refuses to home - no movement at all X home the wrong way and chews the head into the end-stop. Little more help needed i thinkby Davek0974 - Ormerod
Quotedc42 As well as the new www files, you will need to update config.g. See the sample config.g file in my repo for the Ormerod 1. I suggest you compare it with your own and add any missing lines, in particular you need the M574 line. You will also want pause.g and resume.g. Have you got a link, not sure where the 'repo' is Thanksby Davek0974 - Ormerod
Quotedougal1957 QuoteDavek0974 Ok, thanks, I have just tried again and this time after a bit of messing around in the command line app I have managed to flash and get a good response back. I did not know you could drag and drop into command line on mac, I pasted the command from the thread linked, erased the word bossac, then dropped my bossac file onto the editor and it filled in the location oby Davek0974 - Ormerod

Yeah that was the thread i linked to above, followed all that apart from trying the experimental stuff in the last entry, nothing seems to work here yet. Stuck with an erased Mk1 and not getting very far, when is there going to be a foolproof app for flashing these things?by Davek0974 - Ormerod
Mac thinks its a keyboard so i cancel that installer. I tried the comman line stuff but it cant see a device on the tty port or some such. Have pressed erase and reset, it was seen by the mac as before but still cant see a device. Why are we still messing with command line stuff? Can nobody write a simple installer for doing direct ugrades from a file download?? Is it really that complex? Areby Davek0974 - Ormerod
Ok, so i have installed the Mac version of Arduino and added support for SAM boards as explained here Mac Arduino So, before i push the magic ERASE and RESET buttons, what firmware do i need???? Please bear in mind this Ormerod is a Mk1 with standard single hot-end and dc42's modulated IR probe etc Thanksby Davek0974 - Ormerod
I have just brushed the cobwebs off my Mk1 ormerod after about a year of non use. Things have changed a lot in connectivity, I used to have a pc laptop then i got it working on my Mac-Mini in safari. Now i am living on a Mac laptop and have no pc. It has Iamburneys web interface, i can load the page in safari but it is text only - no graphics and refuses to talk to the printer, i can ping theby Davek0974 - Ormerod

QuoteTreito My X-arm kit of my Ormerod 1 got damaged Keep an eye on the thread, if interest returns and i get some more done, I could sort something out for you. If anyone wants an arm kit, post here and we'll see how it goes. Thanksby Davek0974 - Ormerod
Sold out now. If there is still an interest in these arm kits, please let me know and I will consider another batch. Thanks Daveby Davek0974 - Ormerod
Hi all, I have one arm kit left now, this will likely be the last batch unless demand returns Thanks Daveby Davek0974 - Ormerod
Thanks, that test does look good.by Davek0974 - Ormerod
I have about ten arm kits left now, this will be the last batch I think. Treat your printer to Christmas upgradeby Davek0974 - Ormerod
Still plenty of arm and bed kits left Early Christmas present for your machine ?? *** This will be the last batch *** Thanksby Davek0974 - Ormerod
Plenty of x-arm kits available, Mk1 bed supports are available tooby Davek0974 - Ormerod
QuoteBriComp If it's "Pretty Good as it Comes" then why are you modifying the stock that you have for the latest Ormerod 2? As dc42 states really, I want to give my customers the best possible, it's not really a modification, just an improvement or extra option. It can easily be done by the user with a file anyway if they wanted. But yes, its best to run the bearing on the back face i think whby Davek0974 - Ormerod
Or gently smooth the lower edge, it only takes a short while, its pretty good as it comes.by Davek0974 - Ormerod
