[Help Needed] Z Motor Noise on Homing - 11 years ago

Hey guys, I have a Prusa i3 that I have just recently finished putting together. It's taken me since February, as I got the i3A from DIY Tech Shop and ended up spot-upgrading parts as things failed while being built. It's been a frustrating and time consuming process, but this past weekend I got everything assembled, wired, moving, extruding, lighting, melting, sticking, rotating, and everything

Re: The build is a disaster! Help Please - 11 years ago

I notice that you have a Ramps board and I just overcame an issue that sounds exactly like yours. On your board, where the stepper drivers plug in there are pins underneath.

However, whenever I try to move the axes using the buttons for manual control in either

Is this more like what you're looking for? It's a printable single plate for an i3. There is a second prototype from the guy who designed it but honestly the first one looks more promising. Thingiverse

Re: First unbox and Build - Prusa I3X DIY Tech Shop - 11 years ago

I ordered the I3alpha and boy are you guys posting the steps making me anxious. I can't wait for it to arrive. My impression is that DIY Tech Shop is a smaller company (my order number was in the 800s) that has been getting a lot more orders than they are used to, which is probably what is causing the rushed prints, unanswered tech calls, etc. That being said, aside from the printed parts, whic
